Students from Graham's Creative Writing class created children's books using the Writers Workshop model (exploring mentor texts, focusing on specific skills like rhyming, repetition and interactivity, writing, peer editing and revising). Students shared their final projects in read-aloud sessions with MES students before break, visiting ten classrooms over two days.

Huge shout out to our coaches & PA grooming staff for getting the trails ready.

A quick reminder as our community enjoys the PA trail network:

• Trails are for skiing & snowshoeing only.

• Snowshoers, please stay to one side.

• Walking, running, and dogs leave deep post holes that can be hazardous.

• If you must cross a trail, do it in a single file.

• After-school skiers: please avoid large groups during team practice (3:15–5:15 M–F)

We love seeing our community outside in winter. Thank you for helping us keep the trails safe and skiable!

It's an original resource and REFERRAL tool for basic needs like housing, food, utilities, and transportation. The emphasis is on referrals, because not only can you find information about hundreds of organizations on the side, you can also refer yourself or others and make a direct connection with those organizations.

The site is free to use and has information about local (e.g. neighborhood food shelf), state (e.g. Department of Health), and ational (e.g. Veterans Affairs) resources. It can also be translated into over 100 different languages.
