Grand finale
Alumni
Working together for good
BY ANN MEAD ASH
Mike Lewis and Mike Sensenig, who, along with Ashley Glensor of the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce and Michelle Rondinelli, make up the leadership team of the Workforce Together Initiative Network, do not hesitate to give each other credit for their roles in the fledgling organization.
“Mike (Sensenig) started all of this,” notes Lewis.
“Mike (Lewis) was a natural to become the (chair of this leadership team),” chimed in Sensenig. “His advocacy with workforce development at The Factory

Afew years ago, Nathan Bankert, current music teacher at Pequea Valley High School (PVHS), contacted Mark Williams, who served as PVHS music teacher from the 1970s until 2014. “I realized this is the last year on this stage,” recalled Nathan. “I said, ‘I have to do something.’” The PVHS stage and much of the building will be torn down after the fall 2025 move into the newly constructed high school and middle school located adjacent to the current building.
“There have been so many years of excellent singing on that stage,” noted Nathan. “We’ve got to bring people back together to sing on that special stage one more time.” Together with Williams, Nathan began a Facebook group called the Pequea Valley Choral Alumni Association, with the goal of gathering past
graduates together for one “final big sing.” “It seemed like people were really excited about getting together and singing together, so that’s what this is,” said Nathan. The final concert in the PVHS auditorium, 4033 E. Newport Road, Kinzers, will take place on Saturday, May 10, at 4 p.m. The public is welcome to attend. A freewill offering will be received to offset costs.
Performers at the 90-minute concert will include more than 180 PVHS alumni - coming from as far west as Arizona and as far east as Maine - and members of the current PVHS Chamber Singers. The alumni who will be performing will have opportunities to practice the music individually and as a group prior to the event. Nathan noted that the selections will present the singers with plenty of challenges with regard to levels of difficulty. “Some of the music is tough,” he stated. “These aren’t simple little pieces.”

benefit tea, auction

“It’s our 15th anniversary, and we wanted to make it special,” said Jennie Straub, executive director of Cornerstone Reproductive Health, when announcing that this year’s Ladies Tea and Auction on Saturday, May 3, will take place at a new venue - the Barn at Paradise Station, 312 Paradise Lane, Ronks. “We are partnering with the owners, who are supporters of the ministry. It is very elegant. The way they restored it is gorgeous.”
She added that the event will also begin a half hour earlier than in previous years. Registration and auction browsing will open at 8:30 a.m., and activities will begin at 9:30 a.m.
“The lower level (of the barn) is where we will hold the auction,” Straub noted. “The tea and food will be on the upper level.” All proceeds will benefit the center, formerly known as Pregnancy Resources at Cornerstone, which educates and supports women facing unplanned pregnancies. “All proceeds go

Nate Deen to speak at Christ’s Home dinner
Christ’s Home will host Nathaniel Deen, a movie producer and former child resident at Christ’s Home, as its guest speaker for this year’s fundraising dinner. The event will take place on Thursday, May 15, at 6 p.m. at Christ’s Home Community Center, 800 York Road, Warminster. Deen was the guest speaker at Christ’s Home’s spring fundraising dinner in 2022.
Deen’s most recent film, titled “Brave the Dark,” had its world premiere in January at the Fulton Theatre in downtown Lancaster. Starring Jared Harris and Nicholas Hamilton, the film is
about Deen’s early life struggles and how Stan Deen, an English teacher and theater arts director at Garden Spot High School, helped change his life for the better. The teacher’s unwavering support and kindness helped Nate find healing and a true sense of family during a tough time in his life. “Brave the Dark” won the Overall Audience Choice Award at the Heartland International
Film Festival. Inspired by his late teacher, Nate has enjoyed a career in the arts spanning three decades. Originally named Nathaniel Williams, he changed his last name to Deen in honor of his teacher and started the Stan Deen Foundation in his honor. The organization focuses on helping at-risk youths who have dealt with

Songs will be conducted by Peter Jarjisian, who taught at the school from 1970 to 1980; Williams; and Nathan, who has taught there since 2014. Each of the teachers will conduct a segment of the program.
“A lot of the pieces we’ve chosen are about the importance of music and singing in our lives,” said Nathan, who noted that a selection he is conducting is called “Music of Stillness.” “(The piece) talks about how powerful music can be,” he said, noting that a similar song called “Sing Gently” will feature his mother, Dolly Bankert, on the piano.
Williams will conduct Daniel E. Gawthrop’s “Sing Me to Heaven,” a song he has conducted previously at the funerals of choir members. “One of the things we want to do is remember and honor those folks who aren’t with us anymore,” said Williams. “We will also have opportunities for people to write the names of the people they want to remember.”
years teaching music and overseeing musical productions at PVHS, Williams said he has “tons” of memories, but seeing the list of the students who will return to sing in the concert has brought back specific instances from the past. “I started looking at the names, and that’s when the memories came back,” he stated. “I can see a student getting on the bus on a trip or singing a particular piece.” Williams is also able to connect students to certain performances. “The most important thing is that I’m able to tie the music or the event to that person because of the music,” he said, specifically recalling the growth he saw in many students while dealing with the intricacies of staging a spring musical. “There are all the hassles associated with doing a musical, but then you see how a student has changed from day one of practice until opening night.”
“One of the pieces (Jarjisian) will conduct has a solo that will be sung by current student (Madeline Heverin),” noted Williams.
Other songs that will be performed will include “The Irish Blessing,” “That Lonesome Road,” and the PVHS alma mater. “It will be a heartfelt honoring concert that will share the importance of music and camaraderie,” said Nathan. “(We are planning) a beautiful (tribute) of the connections (between) all these people over the span of six decades.”
The ties between students and faculty over the years culminating in this final concert struck a chord with Williams. “I student taught with my predecessor,” said Williams, who served in that capacity in the fall of 1977. Williams had moved on to a teaching position in Columbia when Jarjisian left PVHS to pursue his doctoral degree. Williams took over and taught the children of Jarjisian’s students, including Nathan and his cousins. “Nate’s mother, aunt, and uncle all sang for my predecessor,” said Williams. “There’s all this connective tissue from 1970 through today.”
Having spent so many
Now, Williams is looking forward to seeing those students at rehearsals and on the night of the concert. “When I look at this list, I can’t wait to see this person who has grown up to be a successful adult because I remember when they were freshmen and I had to try to get them to do something (they needed to learn).”

According to Sensenig, the group - which officially met for the second time on April 16 - has its roots in the fallout associated with COVID-19 restrictions. “It started from a realization after the pandemic that we were hearing the needs of the social service organizations and also hearing the needs of the employers who had no staff,” recalled Sensenig, who added that representatives of businesses in the Pequea Valley School District (PVSD) area, PVSD representatives, and representatives of The Factory Ministries gathered when the group began meeting to discuss common issues around 2021. “We met a few times a year, and we realized one of the things we had some control over was future workforce and workforce development,” said Sensenig, who went on to explain that workforce development is crucial to alleviating generational poverty.
The group soon partnered with PVSD and the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce primarily to form the First Choice Discovery Program, a workbased program offering career exploration and mentoring to every sophomore at Pequea Valley High School (PVHS). The discussion also inspired PVSD to provide a shuttle from the PVHS to businesses in Intercourse so students could get to their after-school jobs. Sensenig mentioned his own experience with the Intercourse Merchants Association, a network of businesses in Leacock Township. “(Lewis) wants to try to form the

same thing for the whole PVSD,” he said.
Lewis noted that as the group has gained structure and brought businesses and other entities from PVSD and surrounding areas to the table, a mission statement has been created. “The mission is to foster a network of businesses united to collaborate, connect, and innovate, creating meaningful solutions that positively impact the local community,” said Lewis, who noted that the group falls under the Together Initiative Network (TIN) umbrella.
“The goal is to set up that networking, collaboration, and ability to see things,” he explained. The TIN mission is to alleviate poverty in the PVSD area, but Lewis made it clear that being part of TIN does not necessarily equate to finding jobs for struggling members of the community. “If jobs come from this, awesome, but it’s looking at retention and caring for employees and meeting them where they are,” said Lewis. “The idea is as businesses positively impact the community, that is going to help alleviate poverty and create retention.”
Sensenig agreed. “We are going to help people get jobs, but the reality is, we are going to help those who have jobs, keep their jobs and that’s what our whole emphasis is,” he stated, adding that businesses invest heavily in new employees with the hopes that they will remain with the company for a significant time. “We need to find a way to increase retention,” said Sensenig.
Adam Nagle, executive director of The Factory, has hoped to see businesses more involved in TIN since he joined The Factory staff.

traumatic life events in the same way that Stan helped Nate.
The spring fundraising dinner will be red carpet-themed and will include a live interview featuring Nate and John Bryant, chief governance officer of Christ’s Home. The interview will offer Nate an opportunity to share his life story, his faith, and the process of producing “Brave the Dark.”
Monies raised at the
“I have always believed that strong businesses are part of a strong community,” he said. “That’s crucial.” He went on to note that bringing together businesses with the school district and other community representatives is essential to enhancing life in the area. “We are all connected and related,” he stated, pointing out that business decisions impact local youths in ways that are not always easy to see. “When we think about the issues our community is facing it’s so important to have business leaders there,” he stated.
Lewis hopes to bring business leaders together to exchange both problems and solutions. “The goal is to create a space where business leaders in our area can look at the current issues,” he said. “The structure of this allows for sharing what is going on in our places of business so that the commonalities of challenges and struggles and solutions are coming to the table.” Lewis added that he hopes the dynamic will “allow collaborative energy together in the same industry or cross industry to create partnerships that bring big changes and impact the PVSD area.”
The group, which is open to businesses in Intercourse, Paradise, and Gap, located in Leacock, Salisbury, and Paradise townships, meets quarterly. Currently, representatives of about 10 area businesses attend. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, July 16, at The Factory, 3293 Lincoln Highway East, Paradise.
