Wellsboro Area School District -

Students learned how to draw Johnny Appleseed with Mrs. Shaw.

RLBMS 6th graders are hands-on scientists today! In science class, students are investigating how air pressure works using a “pressure in a jar” indicator. They’re observing changes, recording data, and making real-world connections to the science of weather and everyday life.

Kylie Brill is The Writer of The Week in Mrs. Lightner's class

Special thanks to the RLBMS Nature Club, who worked hard today planting bulbs and pulling weeds in front of the school to beautify our campus!

First grade had a fantastic day during Johnny Appleseed Day on Friday. Students were able to visit all first grade teachers for fun activities and we also made applesauce !

Students in Third Grade went on their first field trip on Friday to Leonard Harrison State Park. While there, students engaged in many activities and team building challenges such as a scavenger hunt and building beaver dams. They also learned about different landmarks and features throughout the park. This trip allowed the students a hands on experience to further assist them in answering that week’s ELA essential question: How do landmarks help us understand our country’s story? It also reinforced the theme of protecting our nation’s parks and wildlife.

A huge thank you to our students and staff for dressing to impress and handling today’s interruptions with such patience. We wrapped up in record time, and the photographer shared that he’s never seen a more efficient, organized school with such well-behaved students—and he’s been doing this for a very long time!

It’s always wonderful to hear such positive compliments about our school community. 💚

We also made a line plot to graph the number of seeds they found in their green beans!

Students at the Charlotte Lappla celebrated Nutrition for Life for the past three days.
