Roughies Report: Neighboring school districts create Stronger Together initiative
As the Catasauqua and Northampton communities gear up for the annual Turkey Day game, some new traditions were created between the students of both schools. This year, Catasauqua Area School District and Northampton Area School District have joined forces for the first-ever Stronger Together Week. This initiative focuses on community values, such as fighting hunger, promoting inclusion and ending bullying.
Throughout the week, Catasauqua High School students teamed up with their Northampton Area High School peers to participate in activities that helped to spread and reinforce these positive messages.
