HHS encourages freshmen to attend Step Up Day
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
August is quickly approaching, and students everywhere are making the most of their summer breaks before they return to school for another year of classes. Although many students will return to the same classrooms they eagerly left at the end of the last academic year, high school freshmen will brave a new frontier on the first day of school as they walk through the doors.
On Wednesday, Aug. 21, Hempfield High School (HHS) will hold its first Step Up Day, an event that school administrators hope will
make rising ninth-graders’ transition to high school as smooth as possible. Step Up Day, which will

the building.”
take place the day before classes officially begin on Thursday, Aug. 22, will give freshmen an opportunity to become acquainted with their new
environment, connect with classmates and meet staff members in the building. The day will follow an early dismissal schedule, beginning at 7:20 a.m. and ending at noon.
Step Up Day will begin with breakfast in the school cafeteria, followed by team-building exercises and other group activities to help build connections between peers. The freshmen will then receive their schedules for the upcoming semester, allowing them to locate their classrooms as they explore the building.
In the past, rising freshmen have had an opportunity to participate in a transition camp

The United States contains a wealth of beautiful landscapes and striking scenery that can be found in every part of the country. Many Americans and visitors from around the globe are aware of the numerous state and national parks that contain
verdant groves and diverse natural biomes that remain largely untouched by human civilization. But in most communities, including Lancaster County, people who seek to experience the beauty of nature don’t need to travel to Yellowstone to find it; from remote trails scattered across the Southern

As a third-generation funeral director, Chad Snyder has a unique perspective of the profession. In 1947, Chad’s grandfather, Charles F. Snyder, opened a funeral home in downtown Lancaster, and the business grew to offer locations in Millersville, Willow Street, Lititz and other parts of the county. Chad watched his father, Chip Snyder, run
the business after Charles retired, and Chad became the director in 2018. Chad was appointed to the Pennsylvania State Board of Directors earlier this year, and he said he plans to use his experience to bridge the gap between funeral directors and state legislators to benefit Lancaster and communities throughout the state. Since joining the state board of funeral directors, Chad has taken monthly trips to the capitol to

PPL Foundation to offer scholarships
To support future leaders in the clean energy transition, PPL Foundation has partnered with a network of schools to provide scholarships to students who are passionate about clean energy, sustainability, decarbonization and grid reliability.

meet with other funeral directors and government officials during public sessions. The meetings incorporate discussions on various issues that impact the funeral industry, such as the evaluation of funeral directors’ licenses and newly proposed legislation that could have cascading effects on funeral services across Pennsylvania. At 42 years old, Chad is the youngest member of the board, and he said he hopes to offer his fresh perspec-
“I’m looked at as the next generation of directors and a new set of eyes,” Chad said. “My desire is to be a spokesperson for great funeral service and to advocate for high standards, ethics and values. I’m very honored and humbled to be a representative for funeral services across the state.”
In addition to being the youngest member, Chad is the only member of the state board of funeral directors to operate multiple funeral homes. Chad helped design Charles F. Snyder’s Willow Street location, and he continues to work with his father to run the business. “My dad is still very involved, which I’m very grateful and blessed for,” Chad said. “I think my perspective will be helpful when looking at different situations brought to the board.”
Chad said he hopes to advocate for funeral directors and clients in every community in Pennsylvania in addition to Lancaster County. “I’m taking on an important role not just for the community I live and work in, but to be a shoulder for other directors to lean on when they need help,” added Chad. “Across the board, we want to have the general public have a pleasant experience when the need arises.”
Charles F. Snyder’s Willow Street location will host an educational workshop this October to explore different areas of funeral services and cremation services. For more information, visit www.snyderfuneralhome. com.

to familiarize themselves with the school, but students who did not have their own transportation to the campus were unable to attend. Step Up Day will include standard bus routes for all freshmen at the start and end of the day to ensure the entire class has access to the resources to make the first day of school less overwhelming.
“The transition from middle school to high school can be challenging for both students and parents,” said ninth-grade principal Beth Becker. “Step Up Day affords us an opportunity to have all students get acclimated to the building, understand how the school day works and start the year together as a class.” Becker added that the
transition to HHS is particularly important due to it being the first time students from both of the school district’s middle schools will come together as one class.
Students will be encouraged to explore various extracurriculars during their time at HHS, and information will be offered on the many ways they can enrich their experience over the next four years.
“I think it’s important to be a contributing member, but that looks different for every student,” Becker said. “Whatever your niche is, figure out your passion and find students and teachers to connect with.”

Postcard exhibit will feature international art
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
When it comes to art, a postcard can pack a powerful punch. That’s the idea behind the International Postcard Art Invitational. The exhibit will feature art postcards from around the world and will run from Saturday, Aug. 10, through Saturday, Aug. 31, at the National Watch and Clock Museum, 514 Poplar St., Columbia.
“This is the fourth year

for the postcard exhibit,” said Janette Toth-Musser, a board member of Create Columbia, the organization behind the exhibit. “Participants create their own postcards and mail them to us through the postal service. Due to the ephemeral nature of them, we hope they’ll mail them to us complete with the stamp and cancellation markings.”
Artists are encouraged to size their entries at 6 by 4.25 inches, but there is a little flexibility in size, she noted. “Artists can use any medium they’re comfortable with, even mixing mediums: watercolors, paint, pencil, photographs, collage, crayons, whatever they wish,” Toth-Musser
shared. “It’s a great opportunity to experiment, to push their limits.”
All postcards must feature original art created by the artist making the submission. “Your submission can be in the style of fine art or simply conceptual,” she said. “No matter the style or approach, participants should have fun with it.”
Because the postcards will be exhibited at the Watch and Clock Museum, artists are encouraged to include a visual element that references the theme “Time Flies.”
Each artist is invited to submit two postcards, and artists are asked to include their name on each of their works as well as
Music studio sets mini camp
Sopranojam Music Studio will offer a mini camp in Mountville Park, N. 351 Lemon St., Mountville, on Saturday, Aug. 3, from 10 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. The program is open to children ages 6 to 11, or in kindergarten through fifth grade.
Kids will sing, dance, act,
and make crafts. At the end of the camp, they will give a presentation for parents. There is no fee, but registration is required by Wednesday, July 31, at www.sopranojamstudio. com/minicamp. Donations will be accepted to help grow Sopranojam Music Studio’s programs.
their city and country. “In past years, we’ve received entries from countries like France, Japan, England, Germany, Spain, Belarus, Canada, Poland, Russia, China and, of course, the USA,” Toth-Musser noted.
There is no entry fee for the show, and no awards are presented. It’s just a fun way to display creativity from around the world, she said.
“The thing that’s special about this exhibit is that any visitor who finds that they love a few of the entries has a chance to own it,” she explained.
“On the final day of the exhibit - Saturday, Aug. 31, beginning at 2 p.m. and ending promptly at 4 p.m. - visitors can submit
a bid to own one or more cards.” All remaining entries may be sold during future fundraising events for Create Columbia, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting the history and culture of Columbia.
Entries are still being accepted for the show and must be received by Wednesday, Aug. 7. For submission details, visit the Create Columbia Facebook page.
The exhibit will run during museum hours, which are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Fridays.

Nature trails
End to nature parks nestled between the Hempfield area and the Susquehanna River, an outdoor adventure is often only a short drive from home.
On July 11, the Quarryville Library hosted Keith Greenawalt for his program “Adventures in our Natural Parks.” Greenawalt, a Lancaster County native and director of the Dillsburg Area Public Library, highlighted local destinations and historic sites found within a couple hours of Lancaster. “(Lancaster County) Central Park has always been a favorite of
mine, and I spent a lot of time on the Conewago Trail in college,” Greenawalt said. “York has more state parks, but Lancaster has more rail trails.”
Greenawalt said he first became interested in the outdoors as a high school student after he joined the cross-country team, and he discovered several hiking trails when he would go on runs. Over the years, Greenawalt has accumulated a list of destinations throughout the area, including Muddy Run Park and the Enola Low Grade Trail in the

Southern End. Outdoor attractions can be found in other parts of the county as well, including Lake Grubb Nature Park in West Hempfield Township and Blue Rock Park just north of Millersville. Lancaster Conservancy maintains several nature preserves throughout the county, such as Shiprock Woods Nature Preserve in Willow Street.
Greenawalt recommends a few different methods to local residents hoping to find a little slice of quiet in the wilderness: Smartphone applications such
as AllTrails allow hikers to find nearby nature paths, and most areas’ local governments have resources for tourists on their official websites. Greenawalt also advised checking local libraries for books on destinations in the community as well as national parks throughout the country. Alternatively, Greenawalt recommends taking a bird’s-eye-view approach. “I am a bit of a Google Maps junkie; it’s a good place to start,” Greenawalt said. “If you know where you’re going, look at the big-picture view.”

Six students won $1,000 German language scholarships. Danica Guydish, a Donegal High School graduate who will be attending Ursinus College, is the recipient of the Monica Fasnacht Honorary Scholarship. Manheim Central graduate Kalyssa McAdams, who will attend Temple University, is the recipient of the Helga Barisits Honorary Scholarship. Ethan Frick, a Hempfield High School graduate who plans to attend Lebanon Valley College, earned the Milan Kratzer Honorary Scholarship. Additional $1,000 scholarships were awarded to Chase Barrick, a Hempfield High School graduate who will attend Lehigh University; Sean O’Brien, a Manheim Township High School graduate who will attend Ohio State University; and Kayla Reidenbaugh, an Ephrata High School graduate who plans to attend York College of Pennsylvania.
Three students earned $1,000 German cultural scholarships. They are Mia Corradino, a Manheim Township High School graduate who will attend the University of Rhode Island; Aidan Fredericks, a Penn Manor High School graduate who plans to attend Penn State University; and Avery Zodet, a Hempfield High School graduate who will attend St. Joseph’s University.
To be considered for a scholarship, students submit applications and are interviewed in German and English, said Judy Zodet, committee chair of the cultural grant and scholarship fund. “The students excelled in their language skills and great interest in Germany and German culture,” she shared. Several of the winners have actively participated in Lancaster Liederkranz activities, including competing in
Germany with dance groups.
“It is important to the members of the Lancaster Liederkranz to preserve the language and promote German culture,” Judy said. “What better way than through our children and grandchildren, some whose grandparents and great-grandparents were immigrants?”
Money for scholarships is raised by the cultural grant committee, she said, with fundraising activities including Christmas cookie and Easter candy sales.
“The scholarship is just one thing our grant fund does,” Judy said. “We have programs for younger children, including art classes and a day camp story hour.
Students in the dance groups can get assistance with their clothing.” Grant funds also help pay for a weekly German camp for children held throughout the month of July.
Additionally, the culture committee gives students money to help them participate in the German American Partnership Program (GAPP) or similar programs to visit Germany.
