Neidig Elementary School

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.

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!

School Spirit is always in the air at Neidig Elementary. This past month, Neidig students had a fun-filled spirit week, where students had the chance to dress like their favorite teacher, and teachers joined in the fun by dressing like students.

One of the biggest hits of the day.... multiple "Mr. Godshalks" who came to school, while Mr. Godshalk dressed up like a student himself!

What a fun, memorable day for our students! Thank you to our creative staff and volunteers for all you do to make school extra fun!
