Funding Educational Enrichment he Pequea Valley Education Foundation (PVEF) runs two yearly grant cycles with a goal of distributing all the funds the organization takes in. According to Amy Koberstein, Pequea Valley High School (PVHS) assistant principal and member of the PVEF board, the organization raised more than $20,000 by participating in the Extraordinary Give in the fall of 2021, and most of that has been given away. “It is all budgeted to be spent,” remarked Koberstein. One grant that has become a tradition with PVEF is helping to fund the Paradise Super Outdoor Science Day, which is held each spring at Paradise Park for all second-grade students at Paradise Elementary School. The grant essentially brings a science museum to the students. “(Staff members) bring interactive, outdoor learning experiences to Paradise Park,” explained Koberstein. “(This gives learners) the ability and opportunity to apply science skills and knowledge that has been

Pregnancy Resources at Cornerstone center manager Olivia Imchen displays items available in the organization’s relocated boutique.
According to Olivia Imchen, center manager, Pregnancy Resources at Cornerstone, 5380 Lincoln Highway, Gap, having the organization’s baby boutique in the basement of the main building, a remodeled mansion located in the center of Gap, was not convenient for everyone. “For women who are pregnant or just gave birth, there are a lot of steps to go up and down,” noted Imchen, who added that the space was also crowded. Starting in February, Imchen was able to change that for Cornerstone clients by moving the boutique into the carriage house, located behind the main building. Amish Home Outdoor Classics of East Earl is donating and installing shelving that will help Imchen to better organize the boutique. See Cornerstone pg 2
