Bucks County School Spotlights are sponsored by Mathnasium, The Math Learning Center at Peddler’s Village! At Mathnasium, kids are getting “Crazy About Math” by learning to think in the ways that natural mathematical thinkers do. When you step inside a Mathnasium Learning Center, you will find a positive and motivating environment filled with kids who are excited to learn and are happy to be there. Through excellent instruction driven by top-notch curriculum materials, Mathnasium significantly strengthens students’ math skills while building confidence and cultivating a positive attitude towards math. At Mathnasium, children grow to not only understand math, but to love it as well!

Mathnasium is the nation’s leading math-only learning center franchise and has over 600 locations in the US and abroad. Mathnasium of Buckingham at Peddler’s Village is proud to be an Affiliate Center of a top-performing franchise ownership group that operates three successful Mathnasium Learning Centers in Manhattan, and they are excited to now be serving the families of Central Bucks County!

This past weekend, the Central Bucks High School East Patriot Players took part in the PA Thespian Conference in York, PA. Students met thespians from all over the state and enjoyed multiple productions, workshops, competitions, and social gatherings.

The Patriot Players’ production of ‘I Never Saw Another Butterfly,' a story about the children of Terazin during the Holocaust, was recognized as “Outstanding One-Act Play.” The conference adjudicators commented that the play was: “Very well-crafted, visually interesting, beautiful- powerful- overwhelming- goes directly to the purpose of Art.”

The CB East Patriot Players' company was chosen to go on to the International Thespian Festival in Lincoln, Nebraska, June 19 – 24, 2017. The Patriot Players are excited to represent both CB East and Pennsylvania on not just a national, but international level!
