A summer cook-out in the shade.

Students in the Pottstown School District's ISucceed Summer Learning program at Barth Elementary know that summertime is learning time.

Recently they celebrated National Summer Learning Day with a special visit from the Reading Royals mascot, Slappy, and a cookout for middle school students.

Special thanks to Slappy for visiting our Elementary students and to Redner's Market's, Clover Farms Dairy and Unique Pretzels for donating delicious food for the cookout.

When everyone works together for student achievement,we have reason to say Proud to be from Pottstown.
