They also win $5000, most of which will be put into the Don Ketterer Memorial Fund, which helps students with financial difficulties have the ability to play a musical instrument in our district!

Princeton Learning Experience - We are high school students from Bucks County and we know how much you value your child’s education. We also know how difficult it is to find a program that meets all of your child’s learning needs outside of the classroom. So, we made our own! We are proud to present the PLE Bucks County Branch - an exciting opportunity where high school students can teach elementary school students math and reading while earning volunteer hours at the same time - all virtually and free of charge! We have paired with the Princeton Learning Experience (PLE): a non-profit educational organization aimed at providing elementary schoolers (grades 1-5) with math and reading lessons in small groups. The Fall Session of this program runs Monday and Wednesday from 7:20 to 8:00 PM starting 1/2 til 3/15. We are looking for both volunteers for teaching and students for enrollment! If you have any questions about this program, please contact plebuckscounty@gmail.com.
