Lansdowne, PA – November 18, 2025

As part of our celebration of American Education Week, the William Penn School District invited families and students to take part in the “My WPSD Favorite” districtwide contest which highlights what makes our schools such special places to learn and grow. Participants were encouraged to share heartfelt, creative reflections on what they appreciate about their school communities. Submissions showcased pride, gratitude, and the everyday moments that make WPSD unique.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to participate. We are excited to announce this year’s winners, who were randomly selected to receive a $25 Amazon gift card prize, courtesy of the William Penn Education Association (WPEA). Thanks to their generosity and engagement with our WPSD families!
