Recently several students from Rupert Elementary School were surprised when they answered their doorbell at home and were greeted by a group of teachers and their principal from Rupert Elementary School. 

 The visit was part of the I’MPACT program. 

 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.
