Greetings, Bellefonte ASD readers! Teachers of the district are encouraging your children to read over the Winter Break with this fun activity of different ideas and suggestions for reading.
Both Elementary and Secondary Level students can fill out this form directly: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfuoDsT8RXsIah4iuhGCOxYk-6EBAFx2mOkDcStLX9hv8eNfQ/viewform
They only need to do one activity (but more is encouraged!) to be eligible to win a prize. When they return to school on January 3rd, teachers at the secondary level will encourage their students to fill out the form in class, if they haven't already done so.
At the Elementary Level, students can also complete the Reading Resolution Menu. This menu can be turned in directly to their teacher after the Winter Break. The menu handout is attached. If families would rather fill out the Google Form above, that is fine too.
Happy reading!

Have a great winter break, everyone! ❄️
With great sorrow, the Bellefonte Area School District shares with you the very sad news of the passing of one of our high school students, Elliana Miller. Elliana passed away Monday from complications of a pre-existing medical condition. Elliana was a valued member of our school community and touched the lives of many during her time with us. The passing of such a bright and energetic young individual is an immense loss that has left a void in all of us.
There will be a Memorial Service for Elliana in our high school theatre/auditorium. Elliana was an active member of the drama club at the high school and loved the arts. This Memorial Service will be held on Friday, December 22nd at 3:00PM and is open to anyone that would like to extend their sympathies.
For more information, please go to the BASD website.
This is her obituary from the Wetzler Funeral Home. It is a wonderful tribute to Elliana: https://memorials.wetzlerfuneralhome.com/elliana-ellie-miller/5344966/index.php
