🧦 HEY RACHEL, YOU KNOCKED OUR SOCKS OFF! // Today we’re celebrating Art Teacher Rachel Connell for truly going above and beyond. When we came to her with a brainstorm about switching up our annual appreciation card, she didn’t miss a beat — she jumped right in, pivoted effortlessly, and, with the help of some young Wildcats, brought the new idea to life.

Thanks to her creativity and quick thinking, we now have beautiful student artwork that perfectly captures a heartfelt message of belonging for our entire Wildcat community. 💜🐾 If you haven't already seen the card, be sure to check out this morning's post.

🎨 Please help us also celebrate and thank Broad Street Elementary School's Jonah, Vivienne, and Rahil for the hand drawn artwork (and smiles!).

Be sure to check back later today for a special video message from Dr. Bitz.

🥞🍎 Every Wildcat deserves a great start to the day — and that begins with breakfast! Don't forget, breakfast is free for all MASD students every school day, so be sure to grab a bite before the bell rings. It’s one of the many ways we’re helping every Wildcat learn, grow, and thrive. You can also find a list of meal supports for Wildcat families on our district website. Because when we take care of one another, our whole community grows stronger. 💜 #WildcatPride

🚌 IT’S NATIONAL SCHOOL BUS SAFETY WEEK // Every day, our amazing bus drivers safely transport our Wildcats — rain or shine, morning and afternoon, always with care. Thank you for the patience, smiles, and watchful eyes that keep our students safe.

🚨 Safety reminder: When a bus has its stop arm out and red lights flashing, all traffic must stop — in both directions. Through our enforcement program that equips each school bus with stop-arm cameras, law enforcement issued 131 citations in May and September to drivers who illegally passed stopped MASD buses.

Let’s all do our part to keep Wildcats safe. ❤️ Slow down, stay alert, and always stop on red!

🧦 YOU KNOCKED OUR SOCKS OFF, JOYCE! // At the corner of West Simpson and South Broad, Mechanicsburg Police Department’s Joyce Phillips is more than a superstar crossing guard—she’s a bright spot in every Wildcat’s morning. From her cheerful wave and ear-to-ear grin to her signature puppy treats and candy stash 🍬, Joyce brings safety, care, and connection to everyone who crosses her path.

Thank you, Joyce, for leading with heart, spreading positivity, and helping our Wildcats start each day with a smile. 💜 (Our Wildcats are appreciative of the trusty umbrella you carry on rainy days, too! ☔)

🎨 DOT DAY SPARKED OUR CREATIVITY // Yesterday, our Wildcats across the district joined in the global celebration of Dot Day, inspired by Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot. The day reminds us to be brave, try new things, and make our own mark on the world. 💪

Students and staff wore their dots proudly, filled our hallways with hand-drawn designs, and celebrated creativity alongside their art teachers—including some who brought their own special Dot-themed style to the day.

📸 Special thanks to art teacher Rachel Connell and staff across the district for sharing many of these great photos.
