e believe that serving others is both beneficial for the organizations we support as well as for our students’ personal well-being,” said Stephen Fulmer dean of students at Manheim Central High School. “Serving others creates a sense of purpose, community and also allows students to learn perspectives from outside of their everyday circles.” With that in mind, about 330 juniors and seniors at the high school, along with students in the School to Work program, participated

pavilions for Manheim Borough and the concession stand at the Rettew Stadium,” Fulmer shared. “Other groups were directly interacting with residents of residential homes. Some organizations offered a brief presentation and/or tour of their facilities and shared the mission and information about their organizations for students to learn more how these great
organizations serve people both locally and internationally.” He added that the high school’s Baron Nation Network film crew accompanied students throughout the day, capturing photos and video to show the collective student body highlights of the day at a later date. Students signed up for their volunteer project, choosing an organization with a mission that matters to them.
This method aims to build student enthusiasm for the effort and ensures a strong working partnership with the organization. “The organizations we support absolutely love hosting our students,” Fulmer commented. “Tasks that may take one or two people weeks to accomplish are completed within a matter of hours due to hosting our student groups.”
Pick up some decorating inspiration and get into the holiday spirit by attending the Women’s Club of Manheim’s Holiday Tour of Homes. The tour will be held from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 3, and it will feature six private homes and three historic buildings. “You can tour the homes in any order you would like with no starting or ending point,” explained Karen Lewis, tour chair. “There are usually so many different decorating styles and ideas with a good mix of family traditions and collections.” Homes on the tour will include a brick farmhouse built in 1767 that has been owned by a local family for more than 100 years. Decorations will include fresh greens, dried fruit and other natural elements, and handmade Nativities and gingerbread will also be featured. A Victorian-style home will showcase a collection of nutcrackers, one of which is more than 7.5 feet tall. At another site, a church pew from the original Ruhl’s Church building is a focal point of the foyer, and a nature-inspired winter wonderland theme will feature
