To Kill A Mockingbird!



I would like to thank District Magistrate Sortman for coming to Curtin today to speak with our 8th grade students about a law trial. 8th grade students are currently reading To Kill A Mockingbird. Mr. Greevy used his connections to pull this together. Great experience for our students! It is great to get experts to come in and share their knowledge with our students. Tomorrow...sixth grade is hosting Professor John Good from Penn College who is going to discuss robotics with our students.

We are keeping an eye on you!



Our Brown Bag "Brains Are Us" group finished their cycle last week. Students worked with Lycoming College students and Professor Dr. Mary Morrison on learning about the function of the brain. Check out Julia dissecting a cow's eyeball. Way cool! Thanks for advising this course of study at AGC Mr. Ross! Way cool! Look out for next year to get involved in Brown Bag!

Congrats WASD! 100 Best Music Communities to Live in again.


While the economy may be taking a toll on arts programs elsewhere, that's not necessarily the case in the Williamsport Area School District, recently recognized for a seventh time as one of the nation's "Best Communities for Music Education." This was the headline in the Sun-Gazette today. Kudos to all of our talented students and staff. Thanks for making WASD a great place to learn music education.
