The Mountain View Elementary School students gathered November 10 to honor the services and sacrifices made by the members of our armed forces.
Pictured (l-r) at the Veterans Day ceremony at Mt. View Elementary School are: Sgt. Devin O'Neil, Jan Price, Sr. Master Sgt. Phillip Price, MV Elem Principal Peg Foster, LTC David Palmer, A1C Grant Palmer. LTC David Palmer, Pennsylvania Air National Guard, A1C Grant T. Palmer, Pennsylvania Air National Guard, Sgt. Devin O’Neil, Pennsylvania Army National Guard, and Senior Master Sergeant Philip Price, Air Force Reserve served as honor guard, posted the colors, and opened the program. After learning about the history and significance of each of the service’s flags, the student body sang the anthems for each branch of the armed forces. The main component of the morning’s program was the rededication of the burial flag for deceased Navy veteran Carl Muhly. Mr. Muhly was a veteran of WW II, serving in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans aboard the U.S.S. Roy O’Hale (DE-336). Mr. Muhly passed away in 1975, at which time the flag was presented to his wife. Today, he has no surviving immediate family to give the flag to. In such circumstances it is appropriate and considered a high honor to rededicate the flag and present it to a civic or veterans’ organization. Margaret S. Foster, Elementary Principal received the flag and will fly it over the elementary school until Thanksgiving in honor of Carl Muhly. Memorabilia from Mr. Muhly’s service to our Navy is on display in the lobby of the elementary school until its transfer to the American Legion Giles Biondi Post 63, Bound Brook, NJ where Mr. Muhly served as post commander.

The Susquehanna Community Elementary School second grade classes recently participated in the annual Community Walk Day. The students had a very enjoyable time learning about the different services and goods available in the town of Susquehanna.
Susquehanna Elementary second grade students with Officer Laura Watson at the Susquehanna Boro Police Department on Community Walk Day. Mrs. Pam Tilley taught the classes about the workings of the post office. Mr. Ron Dubas let the students “shop” for items on their list at Schneider’s Market. Mrs. Darlene Slocum showed them around at Peoples National Bank. Librarian, Mrs. Paterno reminded the classes how much fun it is to visit the local library. Police Officer Laura Watson fingerprinted them and explained the important service provided by the police and about Halloween safety. Mayor Reddon taught how local government works. The class was able to hold a “mock” council meeting, in which they voted that school should have two-hour recesses every day! After the tour, American Legion Post 86 provided a delicious lunch for the class. The children had a great day, and although it was not expected, the many treats and souvenirs that were given out were very much appreciated as well.
Students Explore Health Careers In celebration of Governor Edward G. Rendell proclaiming November 13-17 as Pennsylvania Health Careers Week 2006, approximately 288 students from school districts in Susquehanna and Wyoming County explored careers in Emergency Medical Services, Nursing, Direct Care Workers, Medical Records, Radiology, Pharmacy, Occupational Therapy, Social Services, Family Physician, Physician Assistant and others on November 15 at the Health Career Fair held at Elk Lake High School.
