Students in Southeast Delco’s Gifted Program enjoyed enriching field trip experiences that connected learning with culture and the arts!

In November, students visited the University of Pennsylvania Archaeology Museum, and in December, they attended The Philadelphia Ballet’s performance of George Balanchine’s “The Nutcracker.”

These memorable trips brought classroom learning to life in meaningful and inspiring ways. 🚌

Reminder: Tuesday, December 23, is an early dismissal day for all schools. We hope you have a wonderful Winter Break! ☃️

December is Learn a Foreign Language Month! 🌎

Research shows that learning a second language can strengthen memory, boost problem-solving skills, and enhance cultural understanding.

Academy Park High School is proud to offer Spanish and German courses, giving students meaningful opportunities to expand their global perspectives. We encourage all students to explore the benefits of learning a new language this month! ✨📚
