Civil War Event At Old Mill Village

Old Mill Village is starting its season with a bang! The Museum Village has added a spring Civil War time period event to their stimulating schedule this season. This historical event is Saturday and Sunday, May 1 and 2 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.  Join the North and the South as they battle their way through Old Mill Village in their 19th century military attire with muskets blasting and cannons booming.  You will hear the armies approaching as their musicians lead the way.  The families of the soldiers will be looking on in hopes that their loved ones come safely back to them.  A few will be lost, but they will all fight bravely.

Please join in to take a step back in time and keep history alive.  Visit www.oldmillvillage.org to see the entire schedule of events for this busy and exciting upcoming season!

Pennsylvania State Grant Deadline Approaching

The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) is reminding students and families that the application filing deadline for the need-based Pennsylvania State Grant is May 1. This deadline date applies to all new applicants who plan to enroll in an undergraduate baccalaureate degree program, a college transfer program at two-year public or junior colleges, and all renewal applicants.

Families must complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility for a Pennsylvania State Grant. If families have not submitted their FAFSA, they can visit PHEAA.org/fafsa to access the online application. Completing the FAFSA online saves time and helps eliminate errors.

The site includes free information and assistance in completing the form. PHEAA.org also has complete eligibility and application information on the State Grant Program. After completing the FAFSA, first-time State Grant applicants will receive an email directing them to PHEAA’s Account Access to provide additional information necessary for the State Grant program.

“Students considering higher education should apply for a Pennsylvania State Grant,” said Representative William Adolph, Jr., Chairman of the PHEAA Board. “With today’s jobs in high demand and in short supply, many people are returning to school to enhance their employment options. It is especially important that part-time and returning students may also qualify for a State Grant to help pay their college costs.”

More than 170,000 Pennsylvania students received a State Grant during the 2009-10 academic year. The Pennsylvania State Grant Program is administered by PHEAA at no cost to taxpayers, allowing every appropriated dollar to go directly to students.

“Some students think they don’t qualify for a State Grant because their family might earn too much money,” noted Senator Sean Logan, Vice Chairman of the PHEAA Board. “What they may not realize is that there are a number of factors other than income that are taken into consideration when determining eligibility, including the number of family members in a household, the number of students enrolled in college, and the cost of the school they plan to attend.”

Students who are first-time applicants planning to enroll in a business, trade or technical school, a hospital school of nursing, or a terminal (non-transferable two-year degree) program at a community, junior or four-year college have until August 1 to file their FAFSA to determine eligibility for a State Grant award.

Students and families with questions about the FAFSA or the State Grant Program can also call toll-free at 800-692-7392.

Annual Diabetes Walk Scheduled

The annual Valerie (Holmes) Shook Memorial Walk to Cure Juvenile Diabetes raises money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The Twelfth Annual Walk will be held on Saturday, May 8, rain or shine! All proceeds go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, in memory of Valerie (pictured above), who died at the age of 32 and was diagnosed with diabetes in childhood. The 3.5-mile walk on the Endless Mountains Riding Trail will start and end at the Pump'n'Pantry in Montrose. Walkers who will find sponsors are needed now, but you can also self-sponsor the day of the walk. An envelope is available at the Library in Montrose or you can register online (link from www.walktocurejuvenilediabetes.org). Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. and the walk starts at 10 a.m. Please help honor Valerie's memory and raise funds to fight juvenile diabetes in our community and across the country! For more information about the walk, visit the website, call 570-278-1881 or email yely@susqcolibrary.org.

Susky PIC Update

The Susquehanna Community School's Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) is having one final fundraising activity. Cookie dough order forms will be going home to the elementary students by the end of the week. PIC is hoping that each student can sell at least one order. This fund raiser is necessary to offset printing costs of the elementary yearbook.

The 4th, 5th and 6th grade dance will be held on Friday, April 30 in the elementary gymnasium from 7-9. An adult must pick up their children at the door of the gym.

PIC needs volunteers in order to hold the K4 through 3rd grade Saturday Funday. Volunteers are needed to assist with the activities for the entire event; without volunteers, the Saturday Funday will not happen.
