The library staff and district art therapist Liz Bell put together a beautiful, expressive lesson for our academic scholars. Mrs. Alston shared the story Black Is a Rainbow Color, and Mrs. Bell afforded scholars the opportunity to create a visual fashioned from two powerful lines from the book - "Black is a rhythm./Black is the blues."

Today, librarian Sherri Alston shared Gregory, the Terrible Eater with our academic scholars. This animated text lent itself nicely to an integrated healthy eating and movement lesson. The scholars compared nutrition information and searched for hidden, unhealthy ingredients on product labels. They had a great time selecting new books and 'moving and shaking' to Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now".

On Friday, our district's high school scholars had an informative, immersive experience at the Lancaster Native American Cultural Center. The field excursion served as a culminating activity for our district Read-In. The scholars and their librarians read Warrior Girl Unearthed and delved into topics such as repatriation of Indigenous ancestors and artifacts, MMIW, cultural identity and heritage, and systematic injustice.

Wednesday, February 4, 2026 ALL Lancaster County schools, buildings, and facilities will be on a two-hour delay. 

Lancaster County School District has carefully assessed campus conditions, including main roads, auxiliary roads, parking areas, and walkways. While many surfaces have improved, some shaded areas still have ice—however temperatures are forecasted to remain above freezing tonight.

To allow additional time for our facilities teams to address any concerns and ensure campuses are as safe as possible for students, staff, and families, Lancaster County School District will operate on a two-hour delay.

We ask all families, staff, and students to continue exercising caution while traveling to school and allot enough time to travel safely.  Keep in mind that a two hour delay is two hours after the school day normally starts. Please avoid areas that may present hazards and be prepared for possible redirection around icy spots upon arrival on campus. We also encourage students to wear appropriate footwear and clothing suited for current weather conditions. Reminder, breakfast is not served during a two-hour delay schedule. The 4K field trip will be rescheduled for a later date.

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and commitment to student safety as we navigate these conditions together.

As a safety precaution, ALL Lancaster County schools, buildings, and facilities will be on a two-hour delay on Wednesday, February 4, 2026.
