🍁 Sweet Signs of Spring! 🍁

Students in Mrs. Butler’s Club at RLBMS have been busy learning the art of maple sugaring by tapping maple trees this week! They explored how to safely tap trees and collect sap.

This hands-on experience is a great way to connect classroom learning with local traditions and the outdoors. We’re proud of their hard work and can’t wait to see the sweet results of their efforts!

Members of the 3rd and 4th grade Wellsboro Travel Soccer team asked their teachers to come out and support them last Saturday at their tournament in Williamson. These students worked hard as a team and placed first in their back to back tournaments Saturday and Sunday. These team work skills are transferring to their classrooms as all students are exemplary leaders and always willing to coach their peers as needed when they are working through assignments. Great job Hornets!
