What an unforgettable summer adventure for Michael Salgado!
Michael, a rising 8th grader at North Brandywine Middle School, had the incredible opportunity to attend the National Scout Jamboree at Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia—an event held just once every three to four years that brings together Scouts from across the country.
During his week at Jamboree, Michael experienced the thrill of white-water rafting, gave back by helping assemble flood relief buckets for communities in need, learned about firearm and bow safety, began collecting and trading patches with fellow Scouts, earned merit badges, and received an International Spirit Award.
Congratulations, Michael, on making the most of this once-in-a-lifetime experience! Your spirit of adventure, service, and leadership makes the Coatesville Area School District proud.

Summer doesn't stop for our AFJROTC cadets!
Through the voluntary Cadet Summer Program, students continue building leadership skills while supporting Color Guards, flag ceremonies, community service projects, and special events throughout the summer.
Their adventures have already included visits to the U.S. Naval Academy and the Air Mobility Command Museum at Dover Air Force Base, where they explored military history, aviation, and the traditions of service. These hands-on experiences help prepare our cadets to become confident leaders both in and out of the classroom.

Finding Yourself Through Art
Today, students participating in our summer program at Rainbow Elementary School had the incredible opportunity to hear award-winning illustrator E.B. Lewis share his personal journey as an artist, author, and educator through our valued partnership with the Believe & Achieve Foundation.
Mr. Lewis encouraged our young learners to embrace their creativity, believe in themselves, and never be afraid to tell their own stories through creativity.
Following his presentation, students participated in a hands-on workshop where Mr. Lewis taught them to "paint without fear," inspiring creativity, confidence, and self-expression with every brushstroke.
We are grateful to the Believe & Achieve Foundation for making meaningful experiences like this possible and for their continued commitment to enriching the lives of our students. We would also like to thank Mr. Lewis for his time and inspiring words to our students.

Meistersingers Take Europe!
What a summer adventure for our Coatesville Area Senior High School Meistersingers! From July 3-11, our talented students traveled through Europe, experiencing the music, history, architecture, and cultures they have learned about firsthand.
