Students at Ardmore Avenue Elementary got a front-row seat to the impossible during the S.O.A.R. assembly on March 24, 2026. Master Magician @chris.capehart.79 is a rare two-time winner on the hit show Penn & Teller: Fool Us, and he turned the Student of the Month celebration into a show of pure amazement.

Capehart brought the magic to life by recruiting a few brave students and staff members to join him on stage as assistants. The crowd watched in disbelief as he conjured a live bird from the pages of a closed book and commanded a wooden table to float through the air. Between these feats and his mind-bending illusions, the entire room was left wondering if they could believe their own eyes. ...

Sixth-grade students in Ms. Lewis’s and Ms. Zang’s classes recently met with U.S. Navy Commander Thomas Nowrey.

During his visit on March 13, Commander Nowrey discussed his military career and his experiences serving as a submarine commanding officer.

The students remained highly engaged throughout the presentation, participating in a dynamic Q&A session where they asked a variety of insightful questions about life at sea. To commemorate the visit, Commander Nowrey gifted both classes with authentic naval badges, which will be displayed in their classrooms as a reminder of the experience.

Thank you, Ms. Villanueva, for arranging this visit. ...

"The most important thing you are going to get in this life is an education." This was the central message Honorable Judge Jack Stollsteimer shared with the fourth-grade classes of Ms. Williams and Ms. Al-Majidi at Evans Elementary School.

On March 13, Judge Stollsteimer and Delaware County Sheriff Siddiq Kamara visited the students to discuss their upbringings, educational journeys, and professional careers. The session provided students with an opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with their guests. To conclude the visit, the students were sworn in as honorary deputy sheriffs.

We appreciate Judge Stollsteimer and Sheriff Kamara for taking the time to speak with our students and share their experiences. ...
