🌟 Shoutout to an Amazing Watch D.O.G.S. Volunteer! 🌟 Today, we were lucky to have Kyle Morgan spend the day with our students at Schuylkill Haven Area Elementary Center as part of our Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) program! 🐾 Kyle jumped right in, bringing smiles, encouragement, and a positive presence to our classrooms and hallways. Whether he was helping with activities, sharing stories, or simply being a role model, Kyle made a lasting impact on our students. Thank you, Kyle, for taking the time to invest in our school community. Your dedication and care remind us all of the difference one person can make in the lives of our kids. 💙 We’re so grateful for Watch D.O.G.S. like Kyle who step up to show our students the power of connection and kindness. 🙌

Last Friday, our students were excited to welcome Mr. Stephen Colella, a dedicated WatchDOG volunteer, who spent the day visiting with them and bringing smiles to their faces. Thank you, Mr. Colella, for giving your time to make a positive impact on our school community! Your support means so much to us.

Last Friday, we had the pleasure of hosting SHAEC WatchDog, Mr. Matos, who spent the day making a meaningful impact on our students. From assisting with a hands-on math lesson about measurement and fractions to sharing how he uses these skills in his field, he brought real-world learning to life. Mr. Matos also joined our students in creating thoughtful projects and heartfelt cards for a local nursing home, spreading kindness beyond our classroom walls. The day wouldn’t have been complete without some fun and games, and Mr. Matos made every moment special. Thank you, Mr. Matos, for your time, enthusiasm, and dedication to our students. You truly made a difference!

The SHAEC PBIS will be having a Red Robin Night Thursday December 12th from 5-9 if you looking for an excuse to order/dine out!

8th Grade Intro to Geometry class used their math skills to calculate volume of cylinders, spheres, and cones to design and create their very own Macy’s Day Parade balloons. As a fun pre-Thanksgiving activity, they traveled to the Elementary Center to share their balloons with first grade. Both grade levels were able to share their creations with each other and in some classrooms, 8th grade shared a Thanksgiving story.
