Rupert Elementary Staff Celebrate Learning With Some Successful Pottstown Students

POTTSTOWN, PA — Pottstown's Rupert Elementary I'MPACT team visited the homes of students recently to congratulate them on their success in school.

The team headed out to visit students from each grade level and recognize them and their families for work done well in the first Marking period in Pottstown School District.

I'MPACT is an acronym for I'm Pottstown Action Community Team. Its mission is to celebrate learning with positive communication about activities happening at school and to do that by building relationships with community members.

The team made door-to-door visits to surprise students and their families with certificates of achievement, yard signs, and I'MPACT Winner shirts.

Students are congratulated for their hard work, citizenship, and positive behavior. The I'MPACT Team consists of teachers, support staff, parents, and administrators from Rupert Elementary School.

Rupert's principal Matthew Moyer recently received national recognition as a Distinguished Principal. Read that Patch story here.
