Overlook's 2024 Science Fair!
Fantastic job to all our scientists who participated in this awesome night of science exploration & discovery!
Overlook Elementary School was visited today by the one and only @philliephanatic as part of the Phanatic About Reading Program! The fan-favorite mascot acted out one of his stories, which was read aloud by Principal Ms. Karima Boyd.
The Phanatic About Reading program is a free, incentive-based program that encourages students in grades Pre-K through 8 to read, or be read to, for a minimum of 15 minutes a day to improve their literacy skills. Top-performing schools like Overlook were given a chance to receive a special experience with the Phanatic. #ASDProud #PhanaticAboutReading
