🪲🔍 IT'S AN INSECT MUSEUM // First-grade Wildcats at Northside Elementary School transformed into entomologists this week! After researching and writing detailed informational reports on insects, they brought their learning to life by creating incredible insect models. To share what they learned, they hosted their very own Insect Museum, welcoming 2nd and 3rd-grade friends to explore the exhibits and learn all about the bugs they've been studying. It was a buzzing success — filled with curiosity, creativity, and collaboration! 📸 Special thanks to first-grade teachers Mrs. Groff, Mrs. Macfarlan, Mrs. Huffman, and Ms. McDonnel for the photos. #WildcatPride #WildcatTradition #WildcatExcellence

We recently sent a team of Wildcats to the Council for Exceptional Children conference, where they had an opportunity to continue to learn and grow while also connecting with other educators and advocates. From innovative strategies to meaningful collaboration, our team brought back new insights that will allow us to continue meeting the needs of all our Wildcats. 📸 Photo courtesy Mark Miller, Assistant Supervisor of Special Education. #WildcatPride

🎉 WE'VE GOT LOTS OF REASONS TO CELEBRATE // We’re honored to share that two of our Wildcat programs were recently recognized with the Exemplary Program award from the Shippensburg University School Study Council. 🏅 Mechanicsburg Middle School’s MMS Plus Program was honored for providing students with additional supports to help them succeed—while fostering a sense of belonging and strengthening the home/school connection. 🐾 The District’s Facility Dog Program was also recognized for integrating four-legged team members into our schools to support the well-being of both students and staff. 📸 Pictured left to right with Facility Dog Carson: Jaime Bott, Supervisor of Special Education (Facility Dog Program); Jess Long, School Social Worker (MMS Plus Program); Superintendent Andy Bitz; Board President Mr. John Rupp; and MMS Principal Joel Yohn (MMS Plus Program). #WildcatPride #WildcatExcellence
