Aaron Boner Receives Award The Susquehanna County Harvest of the Art’s committee presented Aaron Boner of the Elk Lake School District with a $100.00 award for his outstanding musical ability. This award is from a portion of the proceeds of SCDA’s 2008 “Harvest of the Arts” event, which was a gathering and celebration of our regional talents. The Harvest of the Arts Committee is dedicated to promoting regional arts and has selected a graduating senior from each of the six Susquehanna County high schools for this award. The awards are not only to reward someone who will pursue a career in the arts, but to encourage students to continue making art regardless of career choice. This year’s Harvest of the Arts festival is scheduled in Historic Susquehanna Depot on September 19 and 20. In addition to the Fine Art Exhibit & Sale and County Youth Art Exhibit, the event will include an International Food Market, hosted by the Susquehanna County Career & Technology Center, live music, an open air juried Fine Arts Show & Sale and a Kid’s Corner that includes story telling, magic shows, puppet shows, tie-dye shirts, crafts and more.

Local Student Earns Recognition In Contest WILKES-BARRE - A Susquehanna Community School student garnered one of the three top prizes for eastern Pennsylvania in Pennsylvania American Water’s 7th annual Protect Our Watersheds Art Contest. Fifth-grader Alyssa Rockwell earned second place for her artwork, waterways running into a cup, titled “Protect Our Watershed, Protect Our Water.” Led by fifth-grade science teacher Mary Fancher, approximately 60 students from Susquehanna Community School participated in this year’s art contest.
Pictured (l-r) are: fifth grade teacher Mary Fancher; Jennifer and Dana Rockwell, with daughter Alyssa; Don Kessler, Pennsylvania American Water; and Robert Keyes, Susquehanna Community elementary school principal. Statewide, approximately 670 fifth-grade students submitted artwork for Pennsylvania American Water’s Protect Our Watersheds Art Contest. The students accompanied their artwork with a short description of how watershed protection affects them personally. After judging the entries, the company selected three top drawings from both eastern and western Pennsylvania before picking a state-wide grand prize winner. Alyssa received her award on Monday, June 1 from Pennsylvania American Water Field Operations Manager Don Kessler, along with Susquehanna Community School Principal Robert Keyes, and Ms. Fancher. In addition to a framed print of her entry, Alyssa received a gift card to Barnes & Noble for her winning entries. "The contest enables students to use their creative skills to illustrate the importance of protecting Pennsylvania’s watersheds," said Pennsylvania American Water President Kathy L. Pape. "Every year, we see more and more children participating and sending us artwork, which we believe helps increase their understanding of how humans impact the watersheds, and ultimately, our drinking water resources."

Susky Elem. Joins Reading Challenge
Susquehanna Community Elementary School students read “at the beach” on Thursday June 4 as the kick off for a school wide summer reading challenge. Elementary teachers worked together to collect almost 2,000 new and used books to give out to Pre-K through 6th grade students to read during the summer. During the kick off students stretched out on beach towels all over the school and grounds to read silently. Research shows that children who read during the summer months do not experience the “summer slide.” Summer readers will do better in school in the fall. Susquehanna Community elementary children will read books and do projects for three or more books this summer. Incentives and prizes will be awarded at a fall assembly.
