On Friday, January 24th, Coebourn students came together for an exciting pep rally to show their love and support for the Philadelphia Eagles. This student-led event beautifully connected the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People from our Leader in Me program to the values exemplified by the Eagles team. Each class showcased their creativity and enthusiasm by performing cheers or touchdown dances, radiating Eagles pride and school spirit! Even Penn-Delco Superintendent Dr. Steinhoff participated in the fun.

GO BIRDS!

Below: Fifth graders Ella, on flute, and Jack, on saxophone, delivered an outstanding performance of the Eagles' fight song, "Fly, Eagles, Fly," brilliantly accompanied by Mr. Martinez on harmonica! See more pep rally pictures below.

Tech Tip from our Technology Teacher, Ms. Cameron:

It's bitterly cold outside. Besides playing video games, what else is there to do? Here is a list of ideas from Banff, Canada (where they really know the meaning of cold…) https://www.calgaryschild.com/family-fun/activities/1786-50-things-to-do-instead-of-screen-time 

Enjoy a little unplugged time this weekend. It's all about balance.

Important Reminders for Families

• Winter Weather Gear: Please ensure your children come to school dressed appropriately for the season, including winter coats, hats, and gloves. Outdoor recess will be held whenever the weather permits and there is no precipitation.
• Parking Guidelines: Parking is not permitted in the lot located behind the school near the gym/cafeteria. This area is reserved for custodial and cafeteria staff parking. Kindly use the main parking lot or the car line for arrival and pickup.
• After-School Supervision: Parents picking up students from school are reminded to supervise their children closely. Students should not play on the grass at the back of the school. The staff member on duty is responsible for overseeing the crosswalk area only.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us ensure the safety and smooth operation of our school!
