PEPPING UP POSITIVE CHOICES AT RAINBOW!

What better way to reinforce positive behavior than with an exciting schoolwide pep rally!

From the moment students arrived at Rainbow Elementary on Friday, the energy was high as they were greeted with plenty of school spirit before coming together in the gym for a PBIS Pep Rally filled with fun, games, and excitement!

Making the celebration even more special, students from the high school joined in the fun, including members of the football team, cheerleading team, dance team, and marching band. Officers from the Valley Township Police Department were also there to show their support and cheer on our Rainbow students!

PBIS, or Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, helps create a positive school environment by teaching expectations and recognizing and reinforcing the positive choices our students make each day.

What a great way to bring our students and community together, celebrate positive choices, and end the week with plenty of Rainbow and Red Raider pride!

THANK YOU TO THE PEOPLE WHO KEEP CASD SHINING!

Today, on National Custodian Appreciation Day, the Coatesville Area School District recognizes the dedicated custodians who work each day to keep our schools clean, safe, welcoming, and ready for our students and staff.

Much of what they do happens behind the scenes — before our students arrive, throughout the school day, and after everyone has gone home. From preparing classrooms and maintaining our buildings to responding whenever an extra hand is needed, their work plays an important role in everything we do.

To all of our CASD custodians, thank you for your hard work, dedication, and pride in our schools.

Today, we celebrate you and everything you do for our students, staff, and school community!

GROWING, CREATING, AND HAVING FUN AT RAINBOW!

The Rainbow Garden Club is off to a wonderful start!

Students from kindergarten through 5th grade joined Dr. Chrisman for their first Garden Club meeting of the school year on Tuesday. With some help from a great group of parent volunteers, students rolled up their sleeves and got to work weeding the Rainbow Elementary garden.

But the fun didn’t stop there! Students also used sticks, twine, colorful leaves, seed pods, and some of the garden’s last blooming flowers to create their own fall flags.

It was a perfect opportunity to get outside, explore the changing season, and experience the signs of fall through some hands-on fun!

What a great start to another year of Garden Club at Rainbow!

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!

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.
