At its regular meeting on March 16, 2026, held at A&W West End Grill, the Coudersport Rotary Club welcomed Coudersport Elementary School sixth grade teacher Jason Streich and student representatives from the sixth grade class.

Mr. Streich, now in his 25th year of teaching sixth grade, introduced the class officers who shared highlights of their upcoming class trip. Sophia Foust, class president, thanked the Rotary Club for the invitation to attend the meeting and spoke about the anticipated trip to Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland—an annual experience that serves as a highlight of the sixth grade year.

Ian Dynda, secretary, outlined several of the destinations on the itinerary, including Ford’s Theatre, Mount Vernon, Arlington National Cemetery, and the Baltimore Aquarium. In addition to the educational experiences, students will also enjoy recreational activities such as bowling and a pizza outing.

Vice President Zach Streich discussed the class’s fundraising efforts to support the trip, noting that students have sold candy throughout the year, including Christmas and Easter sales. The class also held a Bingo Night fundraiser scheduled on Thursday, March 25.

Treasurer Parker Wright explained that the trip will include 42 students and 8 chaperones over the course of three days and two nights. The fundraising goal for the trip is $31,000, and the class is nearing that target.

Rotary President Andrea Streich shared that the club had previously committed to supporting this annual educational opportunity and included it in the club’s budget. She then presented the class with a $500 donation to assist with their trip.

The Coudersport Rotary Club is proud to support local students and their educational experiences beyond the classroom.
