Having an I'MPACT at Rupert Elementary School

For the first time, two siblings, Kayvion and Kyseer Reinert-Cotton, above, were both recognized by Rupert Elementary School's I'MPCAT Team for accomplishments during the second semester. Kayvion is in kindergarten and Kyseer is in first grade.

I’MPACT is an acronym for I’m Pottstown Action Community Team. 

Its mission is to “Celebrate Learning” with positive communication of activities happening at school through the building of relationships with community members. 

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

Students were 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.
