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.

Take a look at some of our students in action and help us celebrate the arts in CASD!

Monday Morning Message image
Today, across our country, solemn and reverent ceremonies are being held to honor and remember those who were lost and those families, friends, and colleagues who were impacted 25 years ago on September 11, 2001.

This morning, our AFJROTC held a flag-raising ceremony and led an announcement commemorating that day and reflecting on its lasting significance.

Throughout the day, remembrance will continue across our schools and classrooms as students learn about the events of September 11 and honor the lives lost, the courage shown, and the many acts of service and sacrifice that followed.

Today, the Coatesville Area School District joins our community and our nation in remembering.

Tomorrow is the big day! But before our Doe Run students officially begin their journey in their new school, they had a chance to get a Sneak-A-Peek on Friday morning!

Students and their parents and guardians were invited to find their classrooms, meet some familiar faces, and become more comfortable with their new surroundings before walking through the doors on the first day.

Now, the waiting is almost over. The classrooms are ready, our staff is ready, and tomorrow, Doe Run Elementary will finally be filled with our students!

We can’t wait to see you tomorrow, Doe Run!

THE JOURNEY BEGINS AT DOE RUN TOMORROW!

Last week, some of our newest learners got to check out their new school — and when we say new, we mean it literally!

The future Class of 2039 will make history as the very first group of kindergartners to begin their educational journey at the new Doe Run Elementary School. During Kindergarten Orientation, our students had the chance to ride the school bus, explore their new classrooms, meet some new faces, and get a glimpse of the exciting adventure ahead.

We are so excited for these young Red Raiders and all the learning, friendships, and memories that await them.

Welcome to Doe Run!
