Teachers, staff and administrators welcomed students back to Norristown Area School District schools on Monday, marking the start of the 2023-24 academic year.
NORRISTOWN, Pennsylvania (WPVI) Stewart Middle School in Norristown was brimming with holiday spirit on Monday. Definitely in the spirit, laughed Principal Dr. Camil Culbreath, who was decked out in a candy cane headband.
Culbreath explained the school has been 100% virtual since March, but that it was not going to stop their annual gift lottery for 5th through 8th-grade students.
Each year, presents are donated by community organizations, teachers and generous citizens. Because of this pandemic and the challenging time, we want to make it extra special for everybody, Culbreath added.
Shital Patel, of Eagleville, wanted to help and called her friend, teacher Nicole Corrado.
