The JROTC Color Guard was busy last Friday presenting the Colors at a Veterans Breakfast in Exton and at the Coatesville Baseball game that honored Veterans. Players from both baseball teams and area Veterans helped unfurl the large American Flag in the outfield. Rita Tingle-Lewis' husband, Fred Lewis, a Veteran himself, sang the National Anthem.

Congratulations to the Cast and Crew of our production of High School Musical Jr.! The shows on Thursday and Friday nights were both wonderful. The effort that was poured into the show by Mr. Wagner, students, and families was truly evident. We are so proud of you!

Congratulations to fourth grade students Jaelynn Maybank and Sophie Walker for turning in their PBIS points to be principals for the day! The girls did a great job and had the opportunity to do classroom observations, helped in the cafeteria, and recess duty! Both ladies would make excellent principals one day!

Mrs. Swisher's first graders at King's Highway enjoyed very special "brownies" today! Happy April Fool's Day!

As part of our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program, students at Rainbow Elementary earn Classroom Cash for following the Wildcat Code—being respectful, being responsible, and being safe throughout the school day.

This month, Ms. Braccia’s second-grade class went above and beyond, earning an impressive $400 in Classroom Cash! To celebrate their achievement, they got to pie Mr. Kuciapinski in the face—a well-earned and hilarious reward!

We are so proud of all our students for demonstrating positive behavior and working together to make Rainbow Elementary a great place to learn and grow. Students, keep following the Wildcat Code, and your class could be the next big winner!

Way to go, Wildcats

Buddy Classes at Reeceville read the story A Spot of Kindness, which discusses different ways words/ actions help us show kindness to one another. Students worked with their buddies to create their own unique spots of kindness. These spots are displayed in the front lobby to be a reminder for us all that, KINDNESS MATTERS!
