Students in Miss Lancaster’s and Miss Gerges’ class finished up their math chapter on Area by working in pairs to find the area of rectangles and non-standard shapes. Students used the formula A=LxW and made sure to label their answers in square units. Students also had to utilize the distributive property to break the non-standard shapes into two rectangles and then combine the areas to find the total area. Students enjoyed this hands on activity to reinforce the concept of Area

Good evening! All schools in the Wellsboro Area School District will operate on a 2-hour delay tomorrow (2/9) due to the very cold temperatures and wind chill predicted. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. Thank you!
🎶🌎 Thank You, Deane Center! 🌎🎶
We would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Deane Center in Wellsboro for hosting our 6th grade students at RLBMS for the Native American Cultural Performance – The PAZA Experience.
Students enjoyed an engaging performance featuring Native American flute and drums, traditional and modern songs, and a rich historical explanation of men’s and women’s traditional dances. One of the most meaningful moments was everyone participating in a Round Dance where everyone joined hands in a circle—creating one family.
This memorable experience provided our students with a deeper appreciation for culture, history, and community. We are grateful for this opportunity! 🧡✨

Mrs. Lohr’s Class is practicing friendship and kindness while getting ready for Valentine’s Day.
If you are a family that will have a kindergarten student in the fall, or if you know families that will have kindergarten students in the fall, please reach out to us and get them registred!
Second graders did a cumulative lesson on building sea walls to prevent erosion. Students read the story, "Into the Sea" from our Wonder’s curriculum and then used materials from our Foss unit on Pebbles, Sand and Silt .
Miss Williams’ class learned about The Rock Cycle this week and made their own Sedimentary rocks today!
🏆 FIRST PLACE FINISH! 🏆
Huge congratulations to our RLBMS 7th & 8th grade students who earned 🥇 1st Place at the BLaST IU 17 Keystone Competition in Williamsport!
Competing against 54 students from seven school districts across five counties, our students were given a surprise STEM challenge the day of the competition and rose to the occasion with creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. From brainstorming to building, they showed what it means to think outside the box.
Their innovative design impressed judges and secured them a spot moving on to the STEM Design Competition in April at Lycoming College 🚀
We are so proud of our students for representing RLBMS with hard work, collaboration, and big ideas. Way to go! 💙🧠✨

Wellsboro Area School District Athletic schedule for February 9th through February 14, 2026
Students in Third Grade are wrapping up a Science investigation titled Patterns of Motion. They applied previously learned skills and vocabulary to identify the forces at work on their Tops. Throughout the investigation students experimented with different materials and changed variables to see which elements created the best design and best spin for their Tops. Each student came up with a unique design and presented them and demonstrated how they worked for their peers. Students then were able to utilize “doodle tops” to have a visual on the pattern their tops would have made on paper when they spun!
🎉Congratulations to Kayleigh on becoming the newest member of the 100 book club! Also, Jack and Addie are moving on up!! 🎉Hip hip hooray! 🎉
🏒 STEM Challenge: The Great Ozobot Hockey League! 🏒
Our 3rd-grade engineers took to the "ice" this week in the STEM Lab! Their mission? To design and build a Universal Hockey Stick attachment for our Ozobots. This challenge pushed their creativity and required them to think like real engineers. Students followed the steps of the Engineering Design Process to bring their ideas to life
The Big Lesson: Students discovered that a "one size fits all" stick doesn't always work. They had to Improve their designs to ensure they could handle the different forces acting on each puck.

100th day of school
In library last week, students learned about mindfulness and practiced some fun yoga! We discussed how having a calm mind can help us be better readers.
Check it out Don Gill!
Mr. Singer’s class is having a blast celebrating the 100th day of school!
