From the Office
Support Our Library
Rapunzel's hair is as long as ever, but she needs to escape from her tower! For the next library design challenge, students will use their STEAM skills (Science Technology Engineering Art Math) to design and construct a way for Rapunzel to escape from her tower (a paper towel tube) using common household and school items.
In order for Mrs. Crans to get this STEAM project started, we need your help in the form of the following materials:
paper towel tubes
plastic or paper disposable cups - all sizes, even the small ones you drink out of at the dentist!
straws
flattened cereal boxes, granola bar boxes, etc.
anything else that might work for students to use to build her way to escape!
Donations of any of these materials can be sent to the Concord Library. Thank you for your support of this exciting learning experience for our kids!

Garnet Valley CTC Quick Tip #26 National Problem Gambling Awareness Month
Did you know?
“Overall, 34.5% of students in Garnet Valley engaged in gambling for money or anything of value in their lifetime. The most frequently reported form of gambling was “sporting events or sports pools” reported by 15.4% of GV students who had gambled in the past 12 months (compared to 14.1% at the state level).” PAYS 2015 Garnet Valley School District
Call to action…
Since gambling operates on the same reward pathways as ATOD addiction, early gambling behavior can pose a risk for developing other anti social behaviors. Click on the link below to learn more.
