2009 PA School of Character Award

Last week Fell Charter was awarded the PA School of Character Award in an afternoon ceremony led by Dr. Len Marrella, the President of the Center for Leadership & Ethics.  The award was presented to only 6 schools in PA this year and recognizes Fell Charter’s ongoing commitment to student character education and the programs that support it, such as the “200 Club” and “Walking with Giants.”

Fell Charter’s staff and students are very proud of this accomplishment and will be placing our certificate and recognition banner on display in the school.

Cinco de Mayo

Last Tuesday, Fell Charter Elementary School students celebrated Cinco de Mayo, a traditional Mexican holiday that celebrates the victory of the Mexican Army over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. While partaking in the festivities, students learned about the culture and traditions that go along with the holiday. Some of the activities included sampling Mexican cuisine, pinatas, dancing, and traditional folk music. Check out the photos below!
