Happy Back-to-School Week, Neidig Panthers!
Yesterday was filled with excitement for the First Day of School. Superintendent Dr. Hoffman, Principal Mr. Godshalk, and Assistant Principal Dr. Kenyon visited classrooms and helped students feel right at home on their first day.
While we were able to capture a few smiles throughout the day, we know our Neidig families captured some special First Day of School moments, too!
📸 Parents and families, we would LOVE for you to share your photos with us! Whether it was a photo before heading out the door, getting on the bus, arriving at school, or celebrating after a great first day, send them our way for a chance to be featured in our upcoming Back-to-School Photo Reel on the District website and social media!

On Friday, June 5th, Neidig 5th graders and teachers gathered at Memorial Park to celebrate the end of elementary school and the exciting beginning of life at the Sixth Grade Center! Students enjoyed an afternoon of volleyball, games, lunch, and fun during their 2026 Fifth Grade Picnic.
The beautiful weather provided the perfect backdrop for students to relax, celebrate friendships, and make lasting memories before we say goodbye to the 2025-2026 school year and embark on a new chapter.
The beautiful weather provided the perfect backdrop for students to relax, celebrate friendships, and make lasting memories before we say goodbye to the 2025-2026 school year and embark on a new chapter.
This week, our graduating seniors participated in the "Senior Strut," where they returned to their former elementary schools: Neidig, QE, Pfaff, Richland, and Trumbauersville to walk the hallways and see former teachers.
Seniors were welcomed with cheers, high-fives, and smiles from current students celebrating their upcoming graduation. For some seniors, the day was especially meaningful as they reunited with younger siblings currently attending their former schools. A few even celebrated the occasion with a piggyback ride through the hallways.
These visits provided a wonderful opportunity to reflect on how far our seniors have come and to inspire our youngest learners as they continue their own educational journeys. Congratulations to the Class of 2026!
