Good morning! Due to the timing of the snow this morning, all schools in the Wellsboro Area School District will be operating on a 2-hour delay today, February 25th. I apologize for the inconvenience. Have a good day!

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!

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.
