Nice work, keep on turning in those gold slips, boys and girls! 😊
GOOD BEHAVIOR AT MORNING PROGRAM
During today’s Morning Program, Mrs. Feeney introduced the 3 B’s of good behavior—Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe—which our students know well! But here’s the exciting part: Starting in March, we’ll be recognizing students who consistently demonstrate these positive behaviors with a special monthly award! 🏆
Teachers will select one student per grade each month to receive a ‘Triple B’ Award. Those students chosen will receive a fun prize, like a shout-out on the announcements, a no-homework pass, a redo certificate, or a brain break choice! 🎉 Students will have the opportunity to choose from a list tailored to their classroom.
We’re looking forward to celebrating our Wildcats who set a great example every day! Thank you to all of you that showed up to today’s program!
Pennies from Heaven Fundraiser!
Hancock Central School is excited to participate in UHS Delaware Valley Hospital’s Pennies from Heaven fundraiser throughout February!

At the end of the month, UHS will tally the totals, and the classroom that raises the most will win a pizza party 🎉🍕—courtesy of Delaware Valley Hospital!
All proceeds support the DVH fund, so let’s come together and make a difference!

🎉 Fun Friday at Hancock Central School! 🎉
Today, our UPK and Kindergarten students had an exciting Fun Friday experience with a special guest! Marley from WSKG stopped by to visit our little learners, and what a fantastic time it was! She introduced the students to the world of PBS Kids and shared wonderful resources for parents to access at home. 💻
Marley, with her warm and friendly energy, even watched an episode of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood with the students. They had a blast as they learned valuable lessons from Daniel and his friends!
After the show, the students got creative by coloring their favorite Daniel Tiger characters and making colorful hats to wear. 🎨
A big thank you to Marley and WSKG for making this day so special for our students! We can't wait for more fun learning adventures in the future! 💖
