❄️ TWO-HOUR DELAY // Tomorrow, Monday, February 23, 2026, Mechanicsburg Area School District will operate on a two-hour delay schedule. We will continue to monitor conditions overnight and will reach back out if weather or road conditions necessitate any further changes. Thank you and stay safe, Wildcats.
🧦HEY MR. BIGHAM, YOU KNOCKED OUR SOCKS OFF // Sometimes the show must go on — and at Broad Street Elementary, Principal Paul Bigham made sure it did.
When a technical hiccup interrupted the playing of the national anthem during morning announcements, Mr. Bigham didn’t miss a beat. Stepping up to the mic, he finished the song a cappella, bringing the school community together in a powerful and memorable way.
It’s moments like these — stepping forward, supporting one another, and turning the unexpected into something special — that make our Wildcat community shine. Mr. Bigham, #YouKnockedOurSocksOff.

BEEP, BEEP // Winter weather means extra cleanup—and this week, that included Broad Street Elementary School Principal Paul Bigham taking a turn on the Riding Auto Scrubber to help clear salt from the floors before students arrived. A great reminder that in MASD, we’re a team—always ready to step in (and up… and behind the wheel 🛞) when help is needed.

❄️ TWO-HOUR DELAY, 1/29/26 and 1/30/26 // Mechanicsburg Area School District will operate on a two-hour delay schedule on Thursday, January 29, and Friday, January 30, 2026. Based on several factors—including cold temperatures, the need to navigate snow piles, and the benefits of increased daylight—a delay was the best decision for our students.
Thank you for your patience as we work our way back to a normal school schedule.

❄️💪 A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR MAINTENANCE & FACILITIES CREWS // Through heavy snowfall and challenging temperatures, our dedicated maintenance and facilities teams have been hard at work clearing parking lots, roads, and sidewalks to ensure our buildings and campuses are safe and ready for the return of our students and staff.

Your long hours, teamwork, and commitment do not go unnoticed. We are incredibly grateful for all you do behind the scenes to keep our Wildcat community moving, no matter the weather. THANK YOU. 💜

❄️ CLOSED // All Mechanicsburg Area School District schools will be CLOSED tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27, 2026. This will be a traditional snow day with no makeup day needed.
Our Facilities Department and local municipalities did an amazing job today, as they worked tirelessly to clear roads, sidewalks, and parking lots throughout the district. Unfortunately, there are still a few trouble spots out there that we'll hopefully see cleared up tomorrow.
Stay safe, Wildcats!

🧦HEY TARA, YOU KNOCKED OUR SOCKS OFF // Shoutout to Tara Bradley, Administrative Assistant to the Principal at Broad Street, for going above and beyond in the most thoughtful way. Mrs. Bradley is always looking for ways to support not only her own building, but colleagues across the district. Most recently, she created a calendar and cycle day tracking tool that has been a game changer for administrative assistants districtwide.
Her organization skills are always right on schedule — and this time, they truly Knocked Our Socks Off. Thank you, Tara, for making everyone’s day just a little easier.

🧤❄️ A SIGN OF THE SEASON // One brave glove. One cozy winter hat. Both waiting patiently on the fence.
If this looks even slightly familiar, consider it your sign to check the lost and found at your child’s school for anything that might be yours. Winter gear has a way of wandering off—and we’d love to see these items make it back home where they belong.
Pro tip: a quick label can help lost items find their way back next time. 💜

🚓💙 LAW ENFORCEMENT APPRECIATION DAY // Today (and every day!), we’re grateful for the strong partnerships we share with law enforcement across our community. Their presence in our schools goes beyond safety—it’s about connection, trust, and meaningful relationships with our students and staff.
A special thank you to Officer Mark, our District Resource Officer, whose steady presence and genuine care help our Wildcats feel supported and safe. From morning fist bumps and catch on the playground to lunchtime check-ins and hallway conversations, these moments matter.
Thank you to all of our law enforcement partners for being an important part of the Wildcat community. Today we celebrate you. Every day we appreciate you.
