GOOD NEWS FROM AROUND THE DISTRICT
Ms. Gorman’s AP Environmental Science
Students in Ms. Gorman’s AP Environmental Science class from CR North went into Tyler State Park to complete their Water Quality Lab/Macroinvertebrate field study. Students are testing the physical, chemical and biological qualities of Neshaminy Creek and determining the overall water quality.
Holland Elementary Art Club
Some members of Holland Elementary Art Club met with Art teacher Suzanne AuBuchon , Saturday Oct. 15th, to paint shop windows in historic Newtown in preparation for the town’s Halloween parade.
The group was assigned the windows at Newtown Hardware House. Shop windows are painted by various groups of children, families and adults - some professional artists!
A new addition to this tradition was that each group of painters was given a pumpkin to paint and decorate with gold to support the Little Hero Foundation - “Gold Pumpkins for the Cure” for children’s cancer research. Money is being donated for every pumpkin - "Golden Pumpkins" ( like Cinderella’s carriage reminds us that impossible things are happening everyday.)
All meetings are at The Chancellor Center unless otherwise noted.

Governor Tom Wolf recently announced that all Pennsylvania schools participating in the School Breakfast Program (SBP) will provide free breakfast for all elementary and middle school students for the 2022-23 school year. Because grades K-8 participate in the National School Lunch program, they are eligible for the free breakfast; Council Rock high schools do not participate in the program.
Council Rock will begin offering free breakfast to all enrolled students at the elementary and middle school level starting Monday, October 3 through the end of the 2022-23 school year.
