THE ARTS ARE ALIVE IN CASD!
From shooting and editing video in a visual arts class to crafting mosaic tiles, from bouncing a ball to discover rhythm to playing an instrument and to raising voices together in a choir, creativity can be found throughout the Coatesville Area School District!
As we celebrated Arts in Education this week, we wanted to highlight the many ways our students experience the arts every day in our schools.
Whether they are behind a camera, creating with their hands, making music, or performing together, the arts give our students opportunities to explore, express themselves, develop new skills, and discover their talents.

BREAKING GROUND AND BUILDING THE FUTURE!
Yesterday was about much more than turning a few shovels of dirt. It was a celebration of North Brandywine Middle School’s next chapter!
From a choral performance of the National Anthem and cheers from the North Brandywine cheerleaders to remarks from Superintendent Dr. Anthony Rybarczyk, School Board President Lyryn Yacoe, Principal Jarvin Williams, Student Representative Stella Polk, longtime North Brandywine teacher Michelle Kreger, and State Representative Danielle Friel Otten, the excitement surrounding this new school could be felt throughout the afternoon.
Administrators, teachers, students, community members, and invited guests came together to celebrate another modern school that will serve our students for decades to come.
And, of course, everyone got a chance to play in the dirt!
Check out more pictures from this special day as we continue Building the Future for Student Success!
