“We think it’s important for people to know about (human) trafficking and to know it happens right here in Lancaster County,â€? said Janelle Esbenshade, director of development with North Star Initiative, “with the hope that once they understand ‌ if they come in contact with (someone who is being trafficked), they will be educated enough to know what to do.â€? To help make community members aware of the signs of trafficking, North Star Initiative will hold an awareness event, Welcome to the Battle, at Petra Church, 565 Airport Road, New Holland, on Thursday, May 14.

When Twin Valley High School (TVHS) social studies teacher Caroline McRobbie attended the Pennsylvania Association for Student Councils (PASC) state conference in Johnstown, she heard the term “philanthroteens,� a word coined to describe current high school students who are committed to community service. McRobbie, the TVHS Student Council adviser, decided to bring this concept to TVHS by leading a Day of Service on Feb. 27. Projects completed during the day included making springtime cards, small gifts and decorations for residents of the Tel Hai Retirement Community in Honey Brook and writing thank you notes for high school custodial staff members and district bus drivers.

To prepare for the day, TVHS Student Council members were asked to work in pairs to develop community service opportunities and then prepare everything they needed for their particular projects. “I compiled project ideas on my teacher Pinterest account, which was shared with the Student Council members,� explained McRobbie. “From there, partners could select any project they liked, or they could brainstorm new ideas, which were approved by myself or an executive board member. We wanted to make sure there was a variety of project styles and groups that would be benefiting from these efforts.� Along with the Student Council, the TVHS National Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, HOSA and Leo Club came together to create 39 project “rooms.� Student Council executive See TVHS pg 5
