🎄✨ As we head into the holiday break, we want to wish our entire school community a joyful and restful holiday season. Over the past few weeks, our hallways have been filled with creativity and cheer as staff and students brought their classrooms to life through festive door decorating. Our teachers also went above and beyond—hosting classroom celebrations, flipping pancakes, serving homemade hot chocolate, and even joining in on some fun White Elephant gift exchanges. Thank you to everyone who shared their energy, teamwork, and school spirit. Enjoy a well-deserved break—we look forward to seeing you in the new year!
Early Dismissal Tomorrow!
Please plan ahead—dismissal will follow the adjusted schedule (please see ES for car pick-up/walker times).
Thanks for your support and flexibility!
🐾💙 Special Guest in Mental & Emotional Wellness Class! 💙🐾
Our high school students enrolled in Mental and Emotional Wellness had a surprise yesterday—a visit from our therapy dog in training, Gus! 🐶✨
As part of their learning, students explored how serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin affect mood, motivation, and connection. Therapy dogs can naturally help boost these “feel-good” chemicals while providing comfort, connection, and emotional support.
Learning about mental health doesn’t have to stay in a textbook—sometimes it has four legs and a wagging tail.
Another successful competition for FBLA members! At Kutztown Universtiy, out of our 23 competitors, 18 placed and 9 are moving on to the state competition! Congratulations to all FBLA members!

🍪 What a sweet success! Life Skills students and Friends Forever buddies hosted Cookie Day, baking and selling 900+ cookies to support Special Olympics of Pennsylvania. The hallways were filled with the smell of fresh cookies, lots of smiles, and even more fun. Thank you to everyone who helped make this day so special! 🍪

Role Models for Change
This fall, the Caron Education Alliance group Role Models for Change met for 8 weeks, sharpening their leadership skills and preparing an important presentation: Clear Facts About the Dangers of Vaping.
Many of our participants are active Key Club students, and they had the opportunity to share their knowledge with 7th grade health classes, helping to educate their peers about making healthy choices.
We’re so proud of these student leaders for using their voices to make a positive impact in our school community!
