Welcome to the "About Us" section of William Prescott Elementary School, home of the young Patriots! We're thrilled to introduce you to our school's vibrant community and rich history. Nestled in the heart of Scranton, PA, our school is a beacon of learning, friendship, and fun for children from kindergarten through 4th grade.

Our school is named after William Prescott, an American colonel in the Revolutionary War who showed true leadership and bravery. He is well-known for his command during the Battle of Bunker Hill with the famous order: "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes!" It is his spirit of determination and dedication that inspires our school values. Just like Colonel Prescott, our students—our little Patriots—are encouraged to be brave, to stand up for what is right, and to support one another.

Here at William Prescott Elementary School, we believe that school is so much more than books, tests, and pencils. It is about creating an environment where you can grow and thrive. Our wonderful teachers are friendly guides on your journey, creating exciting lessons, and always having a kind ear for your stories and questions. Our classrooms are colorful and inviting, filled with books that can take you on endless adventures.

Do you like making friends and trying new things? You're going to love all the activities here! From fun school events, art projects, and sports competitions to our amazing school plays and music programs, there's always something to look forward to. Together, we celebrate both our successes and our efforts, because being a Patriot means always giving it your best shot!

But our school wouldn't be complete without our surrounding community. Our parents, volunteers, and local friends help make our school a special place. We host family picnics, participate in local parades, and join in many community projects. We believe that together, we're more than just a school; we're a big family.

Safety, respect, and kindness are as important here as learning about math, science, or history. We look out for each other, making sure every single day is safe and happy for everyone. We're a team of young Patriots, always ready to lend a hand, share a smile, and move forward together.

Thank you for visiting our page and getting to know us a little better. We're so excited to share our Patriot pride with you and can't wait to welcome you personally to William Prescott Elementary School, where every day is a new adventure filled with learning and laughter!
