🌎✨ STEAM Meets Social Studies! ✨🌎

Students in Mrs. Kreger’s Social Studies class completed a hands-on STEAM project to deepen their understanding of the incredible accomplishments of Mesoamerican civilizations.

Projects on display include:
🌱 Aztec chinampas showcasing innovative agricultural systems
📅 Maya code and calendar highlighting advanced math and astronomy
🗿 Olmec stone heads representing early artistic and cultural achievements

Through creativity, problem-solving, and research, students brought history to life while exploring how these ancient civilizations shaped the world we know today. Great work! 👏📚

Mr. Kyle and Officer Wolbert were feeling the festive vibes this afternoon at Don Gill! 🎄❄️

Students at the Charlotte Lappla enjoyed flapjacks with Santa for breakfast this morning. 17 years ago the Nutrition Group began this tradition at the Wellsboro School District and we are so happy to continue it again this year. It is a favorite of many with over 100 students attending!

The Rock L. Butler Middle School chorus students delivered an amazing performance at last night’s Christmas Concert — filling the auditorium with festive songs, joy, and cheer. A huge thank you to our music teacher, Mrs. Shaffer, our students, and their families for making the evening so special.

In Mr. Callahan’s 3rd grade class, students listened to former Wellsboro Hornet student-athletes talk about their journey from elementary school to college. They spoke about the hard work and effort it takes to be successful, as well as the challenges that students will face along the way. Caitlyn Callahan, a former D1 Volleyball player at UNCW and The College of Charleston, as well as an NCAA All-American, and Darryn Callahan, a D2 baseball player at Slippery Rock University, spoke with the class, posed for pictures, and signed autographs for the students.

Students in Mr. Callahan’s and Ms. VanNess’ classes honored Veterans and Veteran’s Day by making projects and writing letters to thank our Veterans for their service to our country.
