PVSD Provides Summer Enrichment Program By Ann Mead Ash
Preventing summer boredom and giving children an academic boost are among the goals of Summer Enrichment Camp, a Pequea Valley School District (PVSD) initiative being held at Paradise Elementary School from July 10 through 26. A character education program overseen by the Together Initiative is held in conjunction with the camp, as is a baby sitter training course. This year, a special STEM program is being held at the Pequea Valley Intermediate School (PVIS) for 20 interested learners entering fourth through sixth grades. PVSD is a school-wide Title 1 district with close to 60 percent of students receiving free and reduced lunches. Summer Enrichment Camp includes academic instruction at the school for select kindergarten through seventhgrade students from 8:30 a.m. to See PVSD Summer Camp pg 12

Cavod Campers To Present “The Lion King Jr.”
GOTR Endowment Puts Focus On Future By Ann Mead Ash
Girls on the Run (GOTR) Lancaster program director Jennifer West never wants to see a girl miss out on taking part in the program because of a lack of funds. “The worst thing we can hear is that a girl didn’t participate because it costs too much money,” said West. “We want to make the program accessible to every girl regardless of financial limitations.” The GOTR endowment, created in honor of Ellen McCabe, West’s stepmother, and administered by the Lancaster Community Foundation, will work to make sure that never happens. “The money GOTR will (receive) from the endowment will go directly to financial assistance for girls in need,” See GOTR Endowment pg 3
