Around Our Schools - Issue 79

Forty students recently participated in an educational tour of the Cleveland-Cliffs Steel Mill and the National Iron and Steel Heritage Museum. During the visit, they walked through the historic Lukens Steel Mill plant, gaining a unique perspective on the operations that have been a backbone of Coatesville’s economy for generations. They also had the opportunity to visit Brandywine Mansion, the home of Rebecca Lukens, the original owner, and learn about her role as one of America’s first female industrial leaders. In addition to learning about Coatesville's rich industrial heritage, students were introduced to exciting careers in manufacturing at Cleveland-Cliffs Steel Mill. They explored the many paths available in today’s steel industry, from engineering and production to management and innovation.

The Meistersingers have been preparing for their annual winter performances throughout the area including the popular Carol Service. SAVE THE DATE - Carol Services will be held on Saturday, December 14th at 7:00 pm and Sunday, December 15th at 3:30 pm in the CASH Auditorium. Tickets will be on sale soon!

Congratulations to Maicol and Aundrea! Both students had multiple staff members nominate them and vote for them. Both students are hard working, kind and respectful. They have had a wonderful start to the school year academically as well, and we are so proud of them! Keep up the great work!

Welcome to Adopt a Coatesville Teacher! Teacher and support staff lists have been posted for the 2024-2025 school year. Please know we are continuously updating these lists following board meetings and staff changes. Please alert us if you notice any errors.

What does it mean to adopt? We ask that community members who participate recognize their teacher on a monthly basis. This does not need to be monetary recognition. Our teachers love receiving encouraging notes and letters of support.

Ready to adopt? Visit the site https://adoptacoatesvilleteacher.blogspot.com/ and click the apple labeled "sign up". It's first come first serve. We do our very best to reply to any adoption requests within 24 hours with an update.

What happens after I submit my interest form? If the teacher has already shared their wish list and interests, I'll pass that along to you. Sometimes we may not have that information so give us some time to track it down. We do our best to provide more details about each adopted teacher's preferences.

Support across the year? We will be in touch on a regular basis via email and on the Facebook page to encourage you to share ideas of recognition and to remind you of critical times of the year when encouragement goes a long way.

Have questions? Just ask!

Have you ordered your Coatesville Merchandise? We have a variety of clothing options from sweatshirts, 3/4 quarter zips, T-Shirts, Sweatpants, polos, and lots of other options in many colors and styles. Link to order: https://caihsstaffstore.itemorder.com/shop/home/
