Wellsboro Area School District -

6th graders at Rock L. Butler MS recently read an article about drones, and today they got to see that learning come to life! WASD alum, Ethan Nichols, visited to share a presentation on drone technology, answer student questions, and give a live flight demonstration. A big thank you to Ethan for inspiring our students and showing them how classroom learning connects to the real world!

These students in Mr. Callahan’s class earned awards for their hard work and effort in class, as well as being helpful to others

Thanks to a generous donation from Jason and Colleen Butler with Pag-Omar Farms, students at the Don Gill were treated to local sweet corn at lunch! The Nutrition group planned a barbeque themed lunch and students enjoyed fresh local sweet corn along with BBQ Rib Sandwiches, fruited gelatin, and fresh cucumbers.

Math + Music = Learning Fun!

Our 7th grade math students took their integer lesson to the next level today by singing a song to help remember how to add integers. They were all in tune with the math—and one brave student even volunteered for a solo!

We love seeing creativity and confidence shine in the classroom.

🌽 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. 💛
