State Fair Funding NOT Fair To Pottstown Mercury Online 8-31-19

Pottstown School District students stepped through the front door of their school for the start of a new school year, each one of them had already been robbed of nearly $4,000. That's how much more funding the state's fair funding formula says they need to get an adequate education. But under Pennsylvania's current education funding system, they won't get it.

Senior Jesse Blair has known he wanted to be an auto mechanic since he was a little boy; so much so that he already owns four trucks he works on when he's not in the auto shop at Pottstown High School. But under-funded as it is by $13 million every year by Pennsylvania's uneven funding for education, the district has been unable to purchase all the equipment Jesse and his classmates need to be ready for the workplace when they graduate in June.

Rupert Teachers Receive Big Opening Day Surprise

Rupert Elementary School teachers were called to the opening day assembly with 400 students where representatives of the newly opened Burlington store in Upland Square were on hand with a big surprise for all. Burlington Stores,and AdoptAClassroom.org, a national non-profit organization dedicated to supporting teachers and their students, were on hand to conduct a school adoption assembly.

Store manager Bill Kocur presented the teachers with an oversized check in the amount of $10,000, which will be divided equally among classroom teachers so they can purchase supplies they need for their classrooms through AdoptAClassroom.org. AdoptAClassroom provides teachers with an online marketplace of nearly 30 school specialty and office supply vendors where they can purchase the materials and tools they need to support classroom learning.

Principal Matt Moyer said, we are overwhelmed by this gift that will benefit our students with classroom supplies that we could not afford to provide. Business community support of our public schools is helping build a brighter future for Pottstown.

Pottstown Middle School Doing Things Differently

POTTSTOWN — The first day of class at Pottstown Middle School was a little different this year.

Looking to address concerns about fifth-graders being housed there, the staff came up with a way to try to smooth the transition from elementary school.

Using a template called WEB, which stands for Where Everybody Belongs, the district decided to bring the 260 fifth-graders in alone in the morning, allowing the sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders to sleep in and not report to school until nearly 11 a.m.

During the morning session with the fifth-graders, they met a cadre of eighth-graders who had volunteer to become mentors to the younger students throughout the year, even giving up two days of their summer vacation to come in for training.
