A Basket In One Disc Golf Club Plans Tournament BY ANN MEAD ASH

When Wesley Moyer moved to Lancaster County several years ago, he had a special reason to look for a place to live in Akron. Moyer specifically chose the borough because he likes Lloyd H. Roland Memorial Park, 221 N. 11th St., Akron. Moyer’s connection to the park is not simply due to an affinity for the outdoors, but rather is tied to his interest in disc golf, a sport he first discovered at summer camp in Pottstown as a teenager. “I got more serious (about disc golf) when I came here,” said Moyer, who is now the secretary of the 75-member Lancaster County Disc Golf Club (LCDGC). He also volunteers to help maintain the disc golf course at Akron - a 27-basket course with holes in the open, in the pine forest, and mixed between fairways and woods. Maintenance ranges from See Disc Golf pg 2

Face painting was among the activities at the One Book, One School Community Night.

School Holds Reading Program Celebration ountville Elementary School held its One Book, One School Community Night event on May 5 as the culminating activity to reading the book “Wishtree” by Katherine Applegate this year. More than 500 people attended the celebration. One Book, One School is a program that began six years ago. Each

M

year, a book is chosen to be read, discussed, and enjoyed together in classrooms, as a school, as families, and as a community. Every child and staff member receives a copy of the book. The goals of the One Book, One School initiative include promoting and sharing a love of reading, building community, and creating

connections by actively engaging in literacy activities both inside and outside of school. This year’s book has themes of kindness, acceptance, and understanding for others, as well as hope for a better tomorrow. Each year, as the book is finished, the school holds a community night to celebrate. This year, families

enjoyed pizza dinners donated by community businesses, made wish ribbons and kindness rocks, planted seeds, roasted marshmallows with members of the Mountville Fire Company, and interacted with police officers from the East Hempfield Township, West Hempfield Township, and Lancaster city police departments.
