6th Grade Team Dr. Roberts Honored by
Achieves Top Honors the Coatesville Black
in County Competition Media Renaissance
Middle schoolers from around Chester County
recently participated in the County Science Fair,
with the Scott sixth grade team taking top honors.
The awards ceremony was held on the evening of
Tuesday, March 22, 2022. Out of more than 40
team projects submitted at the middle school level
for the county fair, Alex Haarstick and Samantha
Gomez were selected as one of the top five teams
and were awarded an honorable mention.
Impressively, they were the only sixth grade team
to be recognized at the county level. Their project,
"Test Track", explored the effects of surfaces with
different coefficients of friction on the speed of toy
cars. The data collected from the project identified
that surfaces with a lower coefficient of friction
enables cars to move faster. We are so proud of the
hard work these ladies put in to achieve success at
the school, district, and county level!
On March 29, 2022, Dr. Eugenia Roberts, Principal
of North Brandywine Middle School, was
recognized by the Coatesville Black Media
Renaissance as a Woman of Excellence for her
outstanding, dedicated, and devoted service to the
community. Congratulations, Dr. Roberts!
Keep an eye on the CBMR YouTube page for their
interview with Dr. Roberts!
King’s Highway Engages in Design Challenge
Energy, and the conversion of energy to different forms is all around us! Fourth Graders in PLTW/STEM
investigated energy sources, forms, and conversion in things like hand warmers, glow sticks and
generators. They were presented with the design problem of moving large boxes of donated food from a
truck to a food pantry. Students designed, built, and tested systems to help solve this problem. Each
model needed to include a form of energy conversion so the boxes could be moved quickly and easily. It
looks like we have several future engineers here at KHS! Principal Dr. Miles said, “The collaborative effort
of thinking critically to solve a problem is greatly needed and advantageous for our students. I'm so
proud that they all seem so excited engaging in such fun and innovative learning.”
CAIHS Student Places 1st

CAIHS Student, Emily Biedenkapp, earned 1st Place in the

and Coatesville Area School District is so proud to have been
represented in this prestigious event.
Congratulations Emily!

Virtual Field Trip to the Crayola Factory
The second grade classes at Reeceville Elementary took a virtual field trip to the Crayola Factory last
week! They learned how crayons are made and had the opportunity to name their own crayon. They also
got to use crayons, markers, silly putty, and scribble scrubbies. Their favorite thing was coloring and using
modeling magic clay to make their own creature. Students went home with a nice goodie bag from the
Crayola Factory and had a blast!
Students Support Hydroponic Garden
East Fallowfield Elementary’s hydroponic garden is up and running. Mrs. Billman and a few 5th grade

EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION FORM
Last week, students at the Intermediate High
School began work with Compass Mark, an
organization that implements school-based drug
and alcohol prevention services in Lancaster,
Lebanon, and Chester counties. Students in grades
8 and 9 are engaging in the evidence-based
program, CATCH My Breath. This program provides
youth with information and the skills to resist peer
pressure and media influences to try e-cigarettes
and vaping.
Our students started their session with a forty-
question survey about vaping, followed by a quick
pre-test to check their knowledge about vaping. The
presentations started with discussion and lecture
and soon, the students quickly realized what they
ingest when someone vapes and how dangerous it
is. The biggest surprise to the students was that
vaping materials include formaldehyde and various
metals. The next few lessons will be extremely eye-
opening to our students.
Click the image below to read more information
about how to talk with your kids about vaping.
This document, along with other resources can
be found on Compass Mark’s website.
