After a busy first day of PSSA testing, Evans Elementary School students were surprised with an America’s Got Talent parody starring their teachers!
It was a fun way to unwind and share some laughs. The students LOVED interacting with the show and seeing their teachers show off their silly sides.
Today, we celebrate the dedicated men and women who make sure our students arrive safely to and from school every day. Rain or shine, our bus drivers are the first smiles in the morning and the last waves in the afternoon, and we are so grateful for their commitment, care, and professionalism.
A special shoutout goes to Latoya, who is starting her very first day as a bus driver today! 🎉👏 What a perfect day to start this journey. Welcome aboard, Latoya. We’re happy to have you, and we know you’ll make a lasting impact on our students and community.
Thank you for being such an essential part of the William Penn School District family. We appreciate all of you more than words can express!
