Conestoga Public Schools celebrated Constitution Day on September 17 with engaging activities across all K-12 classrooms this week. Students in every grade explored our nation's founding document, with 6th graders participating in a special Readers Theater. It was a wonderful way for our Cougars to learn about the rights and responsibilities that shape our country!

The Cougar Marching band had a successful performance at the Applejack Festival! They marched so hard we even lost two shoes!

🍦 WORK-BASED LEARNING UPDATE 🍦 Our Entrepreneurship students just got an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look into Coneflower Creamery! They learned all about Coneflower's incredible journey—from its sweet beginnings to becoming the #1 ranked ice cream shop in the entire country and expanding to three thriving locations. It was an amazing opportunity for our future business leaders to see real-world innovation, passion, and hard work in action. A huge thank you to the Coneflower team for hosting us and inspiring our students!

The high school Media Productions class has been collaborating with the safety team to create safety videos that will be used to train new staff and subs!

The Cougar came and visited Mrs. Gocke’s class after the homecoming pep rally last Friday; the kids were so excited!
Mrs. Gocke’s class is working on cooperation in Social Studies. They had to work together to stand up without using their hands.

6th graders have been learning piano in Ms. Harveson’s class! Thank you Conestoga PTO for purchasing our pianos! The kids are loving it! 🎹🎶

Get ready to Smile! Picture Day is TOMORROW for the Elementary!
