🍦 Favorite food: Ice cream
🏞 Dream job: Wilderness fishing & hunting guide
✈️ Superpower wish: Flight

We released a few butterflies at Charlotte Lappla today!
🌽 Our 6th graders rolled up their sleeves to husk fresh corn—thanks to WASD grad Jason Butler and Pag O Mar Farms! This hands-on harvest tradition connects students to our community and creates a true farm-to-table experience, made possible by The Nutrition Group. For many Wellsboro families, this corn brings back warm memories of late summer meals shared around the table. 💛

Our 8th graders wrapped up their lab safety unit with creative 3-frame cartoons showing the do’s and don’ts of staying safe—whether in a science lab, on the farm, or at home!
