CASH Social Studies teacher, Joe Tassoni, has been named a finalist for the National History Day (NHD) Teacher of the Year award, representing Pennsylvania in the senior division. The award, presented annually by the nonprofit organization National History Day, honors educators who inspire students through historical inquiry, research, and project-based learning.

For the past five years, Tassoni has played a key role in the NHD program at Coatesville through his Historic Research & Preservation course. Students in his class explore history by creating in-depth research projects that align with an annual theme, competing at regional, state, and even national levels. Under his mentorship, dozens of students have advanced in competition, including two who reached the national stage in 2021. Please click below to view more information!

Over 20 CASH students along with CASH Climate Coach, Ms. Londie Legree, to the National Museum of African American and Culture last Friday. The trip, coordinated within Black History Month, provided students the opportunity to experience historical and educational exhibits and learned about various African Americans who helped shape our country's history!

Last Week, students and staff at Scott gathered in the auditorium to acknowledge and celebrate hard work and achievement. Students that spend time in activities, clubs, and sports outside of school were recognized. We also celebrated our students that earned honor roll and distinguished honors. Finally, we celebrated academic growth by giving GRIT awards to students that have already achieved one year's growth or more in either ELA or Math according the the fall and winter benchmark tests. It was a wonderful way to start the day. Congratulations to all our honorees; we are incredibly proud of you!

Pastor Robertson and parishioners from the "Me We City" program greeted our Scott Middle School students on Friday morning. Students were reminded how special, smart and important they were. They were encouraged to "Have a great day" and "Work Hard." Even though they all may not have been awake yet, the students walked into school with a smile. We always love the mornings that Pastor and his volunteers come to add light to the start of our day. Thank you!

Mrs. Norton's class learned about Groundhog Day. The class made predictions on if he will see his shadow. We collected the data and made a pictograph showing the information. Great job, 1st graders!

Congratulations to some of Mrs. Miller's kindergarten friends who turned in their PBIS Class Dojo points for a private lunch with Mrs. Billman! Keep SOARing!

On February 7th, we continued to celebrate Black History Month with an assembly featuring Sistah Mafalda. Sistah Mafalda is the founder, instructor, lead dancer, master drummer and business manager of Kuumba Performers, an Afro-American-Caribbean drum & dance troupe.

Dr. Cole would like to congratulate this month's Principal Star Award Recipients. These students always follow the rules (3 R's), are a student who would be considered for most, if not all, the MVP character traits (past, present, and future), and, in addition to that, they consistently go above and beyond expectations every day. These students exhibit these behaviors, daily, in every classroom they are in (Homeroom/Special Ed/Related Arts). Congratulations Penelope Boyd and Ezequiel Libran-Ortiz!

Some of our Reeceville students were lucky enough to travel to the Intermediate High School to see the Drama Club's production of "Bye, Bye Birdie".
