EverGreen Elementary Students Attend the NEPA Girls STEM Competition

Congratulations to our 4th and 5th-grade girls from EverGreen for their hard work at Saturday’s NEPA Girls STEM Competition at Kalahari Resorts. These students did a phenomenal job representing the Western Wayne School District.
While they didn’t take home a trophy, the experience was a true win. Given three hours and a set of complex instructions, the girls worked under pressure to build functional, beautifully decorated floats for the event parade. Beyond the engineering challenge, they mastered teamwork and realized they have the skills to build amazing things. Great job!

Second Grade teamed up with Kindergarten to celebrate Read Across America!

Students partnered with their younger buddies to read a book together and share the joy of reading. As a special gift, each kindergartener kept the book they read along with a bookmark from their second-grade buddy. It was a wonderful opportunity for students to connect, build friendships, and celebrate a love of reading!

Fire Safety held at EverGreen Elementary

Fire Safety was held at EverGreen on Friday, October 10th. EverGreen Elementary hosted Hamlin Fire & Rescue, Lake Ariel Volunteer Fire Company, and Ledgedale Volunteer Fire Company where local emergency personnel presented students with life saving strategies and showed different pieces of equipment that they use. Students also were able to tour apparatus that local companies had on campus that day. The fire companies presented gloves to all students. We would like to thank these fire companies for coming to EverGreen for the presentation and helping our students understand ways to be safe.

First Grade Hive learns all about bees from Dr. Jim Tickner.

Our First Grade Hive at EverGreen had the opportunity to learn all about bees from Dr. Jim Tickner. Students were given all the facts about what it takes to be a beekeeper. They also learned that being a worker bee is not an easy job! Students practiced their waggle dance and also had the opportunity to see all the tools and hives first hand. Such a cool experience that the students will be buzzing about for a while!

Thank you to the EverGreen PTA

Thank you to the EverGreen PTA for providing our students in grades K-5 with the opportunity to experience Kindness Quest. An exciting and educational laser show presented by Prismatic Magic. This 40-minute interactive assembly focused on the values of kindness, empathy, and teamwork through an engaging storyline filled with superheroes, a treasure map, and an outer space robot. Guided by the animated laser character Max Bravado, students participated in puzzles, games, and optical illusions designed to reinforce the importance of caring for others. With dazzling special effects, high-energy music, and a powerful message about community and friendship, Kindness Quest left a lasting impression, encouraging students to practice kindness in their daily lives. Parents can ask their children about their favorite part of the show and how they plan to apply what they learned to help build a more compassionate school environment.
