Public Works cleared more quickly and efficiently.

• Remove vehicles and trailers from the street prior to a winter event. This will allow the operator to clear the street from edge-to-edge.

• Remove basketball hoops from the borough right-of-way.

• Please keep a safe operating distance from all vehicles providing winter maintenance.

• If you have a mailbox along the roadway, periodically check to ensure that the post and mailbox are in good condition. The post and mailbox must be sturdy enough to withstand snow coming off the plow blade.

• Never push, blow or shovel snow into a cleared roadway.

• Never attempt to stop or flag down a truck driver while plowing.

• Clearing a space along the curb or edge of road before your driveway will reduce the amount of the snow placed in your driveway.

• Wait until the street is completely cleared before shoveling the end of your driveway.

• Operator’s will often make multiple passes on the same street.

• Plow drivers cannot direct snow as it comes off of a plow. Plow blades are fixed to dump snow to the right.

your property until the curbside leaf collection begins.

• DO NOT blow or rake grass, sticks or other yard debris in the street at any time throughout the year.

• DO NOT place branches, grass clippings, rocks or other debris in with leaves. Any foreign objects placed in leaf piles may result in fines and suspension of leaf collection service.

• DO NOT leave cars parked along the street the day of your leaf collection.

• DO NOT park vehicles on or near leaf piles.

• PLEASE remember that inclement weather will delay the leaf collection schedule.

Residents are encouraged to take leaves to the Compost Facility located next to the Public Works Facility at 422 S. 24th Street.

SANITARY SEWER Do not flush swiffers, cloth rags, baby wipes, baby cloths, dental floss or other similar materials into the sanitary sewer system.

These items can cause clogs, damage sewage pumps and increase maintenance costs.

Property owners are responsible for the lateral and the building sewer. The lateral extends from the sewer main in the street to the Right-of-Way. The building sewer extends from the Right-of-Way to the home.

Sewer customers are reminded to keep traps in homes/businesses filled with water. This will reduce sewer odors from entering the living and working spaces of the property.

The sewer main will be checked by Public Works Staff and flushed if necessary. If there is no problem in the sewer main the homeowner should call a plumber. Please call the Borough Hall at 737-3456 if you experience a slow or no-working toilet and they will contact the Public Works Department.

WINTER MAINTENANCE Plowing borough streets after a snow event is a time consuming process. Following a few simple guidelines can make the operator’s job safer and more efficient: • Pay attention to local forecasts as winter weather and road conditions can change very quickly. If it is necessary for you to drive, please do so responsibly.

• Minimize driving as much as possible during and immediately after a snow event. The fewer the vehicles on the roadway allows the roadway to be

CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT…

SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL §176-6 RESPONSIBILITY FOR REMOVAL; TIME LIMIT Within eight (8) hours after snow or ice has stopped falling, sidewalks must be cleared their entire length with a path no less than three feet wide. The hours between 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. are not figured into this period of eight hours. Of equal importance: it is prohibited for snow, ice and/or liquids to be shoveled, blown, plowed or discharged into the streets or alleys; this is a citable offense.

DISCHARGE OF LIQUIDS § 176-2 ON TO STREETS OR ALLEYS PROHIBITED It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to dump or discharge any liquid or semiliquid substance in or on any of the streets or alleys in the Borough of Camp Hill, so as to constitute a public nuisance or a menace to public health. This section shall

Codes Enforcement not be construed to mean the natural drainage of surface water produced by rain or the melting of snow or ice on a building or property.

OUTDOOR BURNING § 66-7 EXCEPTION TO RESTRICTIONS ON BURNING Patio and yard wood-burning units used as chimneas, patio warmers and other portable wood-burning devices used for recreational purposes, provided the following shall apply: (1) only clean wood may be used and burned, (2) patio and yard woodburning units must be located at least 50 feet from the nearest structure which is not on the same property as the patio woodburning unit and (3) use of patio and yard wood-burning units shall not cause a nuisance to neighbors.

FIRE PREVENTION § 113-11 SMOKE DETECTORS AND MEANS OF EGRESS Smoke detectors save lives. But did you know most homeowners and renters do not check their detectors or replace spent batteries? Smoke detectors must be kept in working order according to the Borough Code.

To insure the safety of yourself, family, friends and pets, check smoke detectors in your home annually to make sure they are functioning properly and replace the batteries at the same time. Also, do not paint over smoke detectors or obstruct them in any

manner. Of equal importance is to maintain a clear path of escape (egress) from homes and buildings in the event of an emergency.

This means keeping entrances/exits and fire escapes free of obstructions (furniture, plants, rubbish, garbage, etc.) that would impede occupants from evacuating quickly and delay emergency responders from entering the premises.

ANIMALS § 71-11 DISTURBANCE OF THE PEACE Any animal or bird in the custody of a borough resident which makes any noise continuously and/or incessantly for a period of ten (10) minutes or makes noise intermittently for ½ hour or more is considered a nuisance.

ANIMALS § 71-12 NUISANCES When not confined to the owner’s premises, all animals must be under physical control of their owner or custodian and constrained at all times. Any animal waste deposited on the ground other than the animal owner’s own private property must be removed immediately and disposed of properly.

WEEDS AND GRASS § 302-4 International Property Maintenance Code adapted by Borough Council and enforced by the Codes Officer under Section 302-4, requires that all premises and exterior properties shall be maintained free from weeds

and/or grass growth in excess of 6” in height.

All noxious weeds shall be prohibited. Please help keep Camp Hill a safe and sanitary community.

SNOWSTORMS & EXTREME COLD

This information explains what actions to take when you receive a winter weather storm alert from the National Weather Service for your local area and what to do before, during and after a snowstorm or extreme cold event.

KNOW YOUR RISK A winter storm occurs when there is significant precipitation and the temperature is low enough that precipitation forms as sleet or snow, or when rain turns to ice. A winter storm can range from freezing rain and ice, to moderate snowfall over a few hours, to a blizzard that lasts for several days. Many winter storms are accompanied by dangerously low temperatures.

Winter storms can cause power outages that last for days. They can make roads and walkways extremely dangerous or impassable, and close or limit critical community services such as public transportation, child care, health programs and schools. Injuries and deaths may occur from exposure, dangerous road conditions and carbon monoxide poisoning and other conditions.

Snowstorms & Extreme Cold Winter storms and colder than normal temperatures can happen in every region of the country.

Winter storms can occur from early autumn to late spring depending on the region.

BEFORE SNOWSTORMS AND EXTREME COLD OCCUR Make a family communications plan. Your family may not be together when disaster strikes, so it is important to know how you will contact one another, how you will get back together and what you will do in case of an emergency.

Make an emergency kit for at least three days of self-sufficiency.

Keep space heater safety in mind: Use electric space heaters with automatic shut-off switches and non-glowing elements.

Remember to keep all heat sources at least three feet away from furniture and drapes.

PREPARE YOUR HOME Make sure your home is well insulated and that you have weather stripping around your doors and window sills to keep warm air inside.

Make sure you have a working carbon monoxide detector.

Keep fire extinguishers on hand, and make sure everyone in your house knows how to use one. House fires pose an additional risk, as more people turn to alternate heating sources without taking necessary safety precautions.

Learn how to shut off water valves (in case a pipe bursts).

Insulate your home by installing storm windows or covering windows with plastic from the inside to keep cold air out.

Hire a contractor to check the structural ability of your roof to sustain unusually heavy weight from the accumulation of snow - or water, if drains on flat roofs do not work.

If you have a wood burning fireplace, consider storing wood to keep you warm if winter weather knocks out your heat. Also, make sure to have your chimney cleaned and inspected every year.

Have at least one of the following heat sources in case the power goes out: extra blankets, sleeping bags and warm winter coats; fireplace or wood-burning stove with plenty of dry firewood, or a gas log fireplace.

Camp Hill Band news dRiVe TO GiVe! We held another successful “Driven To Give” fundraiser recently. We truly appreciate L.B. Smith’s partnership and support in helping us to raise money that is used for the entire MS and HS music program. Our appreciation and gratitude to the L.B. Smith staff that donate their time to make our event possible. Thank you!!

PREPARE YOUR VEHICLE Fully winterize your vehicle: Have a mechanic check antifreeze, brakes, heater and defroster, tires, and windshield wipers to ensure they are in good shape. Keep gas tank at least half full. Keep an extra emergency kit specifically created for your car. In addition to basic essentials, consider adding a portable cell phone charger, ice scraper, extra blanket, sand for traction and jumper cables. Have on hand rock salt or more environmentally safe products to melt ice on walkways. Visit the Environmental Protection Agency for a complete list of recommended products.

ALSO Make sure you have a cell phone with an emergency charging option (car, solar, hand crank, etc.) in case of a power failure.

People who depend on electricity to operate medical equipment should make alternate arrangements in case power is out for an extended period of time.

Plan to check on elderly/disabled relatives and neighbors.

Plan to bring pets inside.

Know where the manual release lever of your electric garage door opener is located and how to operate it in case you lose power Fill gallon containers with water and place them in the freezer to help keep food cold.

NOAA weather radio broadcasts alerts and warnings directly from the NWS for all hazards. You can sign up in advance to receive notifications from local emergency services.

Stay indoors during storms.

If you must go outside, wear several layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing rather than one layer of heavy clothing. The outer garments should be tightly woven and water repellent.

Wear mittens, which are warmer than gloves.

Wear a hat and cover your mouth with a scarf to reduce heat loss.

Keep dry. Change wet clothing frequently to prevent loss of body heat. Wet clothing loses all of its insulating value.

Walk carefully on snowy or icy walkways.

Avoid overexertion when shoveling snow.

Overexertion can bring on a heart attack—a major cause of death in the winter. Use caution, take breaks, push the snow instead of

CumBeRland BlVd. TasK fORCe This past summer the CBITF met with PennDot District #8 executives (along with Pat Dennis and Chief Hockenberry), representatives from the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission and HATS, the Harrisburg Are Transportation Study, and County Commissioner Jim Hertzler. We discussed the items identified as needing improvement - by our group earlier this year and through our survey - on Cumberland Blvd./32nd St., and ways to implement Traffic Calming elements such as increased signage, beautification, in order to increase enforcement of the 35mph speed limit.

We have researched grant and funding opportunities for these items as well as funding options to do a planning study.

The take-away from these efforts is that while funding opportunities exist, PennDot and HATS are now looking into doing a more comprehensive Corridor Study from Forrester St. in Harrisburg, to the Harvey Taylor Bridge, through Wormleysburg, Cumberland Blvd. and 32nd St. St. up to the Rte. 581 interchange - at their expense.

Our small borough is caught in an unusual situation with the large volume of cars passing through it, being a walking school district and with limited resources for police services.

PA is the only state in the country that does not allow the use of RADAR by municipalities. PA Senate Bill 251 could change that and provide a much needed tool for our police officers to better enforce the 35mph speed limit. We've reached out to Sen. Mike Regan's office and he supports this bill, as does Rep. Greg Rothman. It's our hope the bill will make it to the Senate floor for a vote before session ends.

ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB

The Club’s only goal is to try to preserve/improve Camp Hill’s water, air, land, flora and fauna for our children and grandchildren.

In 2017, C.H.E.C. has tried to put its time and energy “where its mouth is” by doing the following: cleaning litter off of almost every street and sidewalk in the Borough; removing litter from Market Street 4 times; removing approximately 4,000 pounds of trash out of the Conodoguinet Creek (including over 100 tires); educating the general public using 2 speakers and 7 documentaries; while collecting/recycling cans and bottles at many sporting events.

Our final meeting of 2017 will be held at 40 North 19th Street, Camp Hill on November 7th from 7:00 – 8:30- Tom Benjey, author of Glorious Times: Adventures of the Craighead Naturalists will introduce you to one of the earliest families to settle in the Cumberland Valley. From their home along the Yellow Breeches, the Craighead twins became known for their pioneering work in falconry and radiotelemetry in the South Mountain Cradle of Conservation and where their sister, the Newbery-winning author of books about nature, Jean Craighead George, started her writing career.

Club Membership dues are $10 for students and $20 for adults with a maximum of $50 per family. Applications for membership can be picked up in the Recreation Office, calling 737-4548, emailing alogar@camphillborough.com or at a CHEC meeting.

Clubs and Events CAMP HILL LIONS CLUB

We are the Camp Hill Lions Club, and not a foundation and our motto is "We serve". We serve our community in whatever requests made to us or where we see a need. We hope that the fruits of our labors help to make lives better. We collect used glasses at many sites. These glasses are sent to be cleaned and repaired and then sent on to areas where there is a need. We are very grateful to all who contribute those glasses.

We also provide eye tests and glasses to those who are unable to purchase for themselves.

By the time this newsletter is published, we will have held our annual White Cane Day at Karns Food Store in Lemoyne. All money collected is used for assistance to the blind. Thank you for your contributions.

November we will begin our annual Christmas Tree sales at the West Shore parking lot near Karns. This is our largest fund raiser, all funds going to charity. The support you have given us through the years has made this project an annual success. The one support we really need is new members.

Why not give us a try? Come to a meeting, enjoy a meal and learn what we are all about.

You may call (717) 761-8129 for any information.

PRE-CAMP HILL HISTORY!

Courtesy of the Historical Society of Camp Hill (camphillhistory@aol.com) European settlement in what is now Camp Hill, did not begin until 1770. Prior to that, in 1733, our immediate area called Louther [or Lowther] Manor (bordered by the Susquehanna River, the Conodoguinet and Yellow Breeches Creeks, and what is now St. John’s Road) was reserved by the Penn Family Proprietors for the Lenni Lenape indigenous peoples. By 1768, the Proprietors realized the Indians had moved on; therefore, the Penns purchased the land from them and set up procedures to sell it to Europeans. As an interim measure, Licenses were sold that were essentially promises that the License holder had “first dibs” on their designated piece of land. [Licenses had been sold in 1733 and 1734 in areas surrounding Louther Manor – it was just Louther Manor that was held back. Camp Hill is made up of lands granted to 5 of the 22 Licensees in Louther Manor.]

The accompanying map depicts Louther Manor during the 1733 to 1770 period. The Yellow Breeches on the left, and the Conodoguinet on the right, are just as

wiggly as ever – fun to see it on a map! The two Tobias Hendricks homes are shown approximately in the center of the map. Tobias Hendricks, Sr. built his home in 1733 in what is now the park adjacent to Lower Allen Township’s offices’ parking lot. In 1737, Tobias Hendricks, Jr. built his log home/tavern at 2324 Market Street. The Penns had assigned them responsibility for keeping travelers and settlers continuing westward. A Bowman rebuilt it in 1799 using our lovely grey limestone, and continued operating it as a tavern for another two decades.

The close-up map shows Camp Hill’s original land-owners. Whitehill, Wilson [or Weaver or Weber], Kreitzer, Kimmel, and Physick. Kimmel sold most of his property to the Bowman family – and interestingly, sold the Hendricks holdings to the Hendricks!.

Physick didn’t settle on his land – he was basically a land speculator and sold the western end of town in bits and pieces. The Penns retained much of the area on the right for many years. The West Shore Country Club is located on

some of that land – and is not in Camp Hill, which may be a surprise to some readers!

GNO RAISES $8000 FOR CAMP HILL ATHLETIC BOOSTER CLUB On September 9, two adjoining Camp Hill backyards were transformed into an outdoor sports bar to host the annual Sports Extravaganza known as “Guys Night Out” (or GNO for short). The proceeds from this year’s event were donated to the CH Athletic Booster Club to help pay for a new electronic score board for the Girls Softball field, to help offset travel expenses for an out-of-town HS Girls Basketball tournament, and to help offset travel expenses for an out-of-state HS Wrestling tournament.

In addition to the usual menu items of Karn’s fresh hamburgers, Kessler’s Sausages, Rini’s famous meatballs, snacks donated by Martin’s Potato Chips and delectable desserts donated by the Pennsylvania Bakery, this year’s menu also included a big kettle of delicious chili donated by Flinchy’s Restaurant and mouthwatering pulled pork prepared by Pig Tails Barbeque. Beverages for the night were graciously provided by the Millworks Brewery, Pizza Boy Brewing Co., Rubber Soul Brewing Co. and Great Lakes Brewing Co. Glenn Millers Beer and Soda Warehouse donated the use of one of

their refrigerated draft party trailers to facilitate the “distribution” of the donated keg beer.

Carrying on a tradition that started in 2009, this year’s event was formally kicked off by Pete Powers singing the national anthem in front of a backdrop of American flags waving on the screens behind him. But new to this year’s event was a little surprise kept secret by the organizers until halftime of the main event.

To encourage the attendees to “put their money where your mouth is,” the organizers projected a video of AC/DC performing their song, “Money Talks” onto the big screens. Part way through the video, a fourman band took over playing the song live – with closeups of the performers replacing AC/DC’s video on the big screens. The musicians, who had never played together prior to that day, did such a great job that they were forced by the crowd to play an encore!

Girl Scout Community 157 Jocelyn Little, 15, from Camp Hill played an integral role as a local representative for her Council, Girl Scouts in the Heart of PA (GSHPA), at Girl Scout of the USA's 54th National Convention, G.I.R.L. 2017 in Columbus, Ohio October 3-8, 2017. Jocelyn, was appointed by GSHPA as a Girl Delegate, which is a special leadership position that gives girl members an opportunity to vote on important issues, voice opinions, and explore a wide-range of topics that effect girls from cyberbullying to prioritizing STEM education for girls.

Jocelyn was one of 10,000 passionate attendees dedicated to finding ways to grow girls' leadership skills and provide girls with the opportunities to build strength, navigate obstacles and find the courage to face and overcome challenges. Jocelyn heard from inspiring speakers, explored girlfocused expo exhibitors from NASA to scuba diving, and showcased SSD Summit, a Susquehanna Service Dog that she is raising as part of her Girl Scout Gold Award project.

The Camp Hill native was one of five girl delegates from central Pennsylvania who had the opportunity to participate in this one-of-a-kind gathering of girls and women from around the world ready to step up, take action, and inspire girls to practice leadership every day! “It was definitely a life changing experience. Not only have I come back with new knowledge, but a new self-confidence. Being a part of this amazing event is something I will never forget.”

A Message From the Director...

Dear Friends Happy Fall to Everyone! I sure seems like it took a while for the fall weather to come, but now that it is here I hope everyone is enjoying the season and taking some time to go for a walk or drive to enjoy the fall foliage.

In October, we had our Halloween Parade and Activities Night. We had a lot of great costumes again this year and the creativity was amazing! All winners for costumes and pumpkin carving are in the newsletter and are posted on our website, www.camphillborough.com. I would like to thank all of the volunteers from the Camp Hill High School, all businesses and clubs that support the Camp Hill Recreation Department. Without all of you these community events would not be possible. Please look for more details in this newsletter.

If you thought the Halloween Parade and Activities were fun, wait till you come to the Toys for Tots Parade and Annual Tree Lighting. Camp Hill Borough has teamed up with Centric Bank again this year and we have a great parade in store for everyone. The Quaker City String Band is returning. Mark your calendar this year, you don’t want to miss out on this great band. We will also be having our Friendly Float Competition again this year. We have planned a great afternoon for

everyone to benefit children in need. I hope you take a few minutes and read the information about this year’s parade in this newsletter.

AARP DRIVER SAFETY PROGRAM AARP has been involved in driver education since 1969 beginning with its volunteers teaching the Defensive Driving Course of the National Safety Council. In 1979 AARP developed a program called “55 ALIVE” to help keep older drivers independent, safe, healthy and confident while on the road. The program continues to evolve with 6 revisions, the latest in 2014, known since as the AARP Smart Driver Course. The course is available in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and US territories. The course is designed for persons age 50 or older, but any licensed driver may attend. A Participant Guidebook features reader friendly print, full color pages, an easy to follow format and supplemental course videos. Additional, trained volunteer instructors provide state-specific information for location where class is held. At course end each participant is given a Certificate of Completion. It is up to the participant’s automobile insurance company to determine if a discount on premiums is warranted. The Initial Course is 8 hours on two days, and the refresher course is one 4 hour session on a

single day. To maintain an insurance premium discount, the course must be repeated within 3 years.

Please arrive 15 minutes before class start to complete registration, pay fee and receive class materials. What to bring: Driver’s License, current AARP Card if member.

Our Children, Our Community, Our Future

News to Roar About!

Fall Greetings! I am happy to announce that The Lion Foundation was recently recognized as one of the Best Education Foundations in Pennsylvania by a recent Point Park University report, authored by Leah Spangler, that examined such foundations across the state. This is a tribute to the commitment and passion of the volunteers, staff and donors who support The Lion Foundation and our small, independent school district.

I truly believe that our schools are the backbone of our Camp Hill community.

This newsletter highlights just a few ways that programs funded by The Lion Foundation make a difference in our schools and community. If you are a current donor, I thank you for your generosity. If you would like to learn more, contact our office to find out how you, too, can benefit “Our Children, Our Community, Our Future!”

Robin

Robin Jones, Executive Director P.S. With the holiday season upon us, we hope you will consider The Lion Foundation for your end-of-year giving. All donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

Making Things Happen…

HS TEAMS GIVE BACK Many Camp Hill sports teams support The Lion Foundation by donating an item to auction off at our annual Winter Celebration fundraiser. For example, the High School Boys soccer team recently hosted younger players at a team practice as part of the package they donated. It was a fun day for all and a huge benefit to The Lion Foundation and our schools!

POOL PARTY CELEBRATES KINDERGARTNERS As summer came to a close, The Lion Foundation celebrated the Camp Hill School District’s littlest Lions—the future Class of 2030—with a Welcome To Kindergarten pool party!

EATING AT SCHOOL GETS HEALTHIER Thanks to a grant from The Lion Foundation, Camp Hill School District cafeteria staff now has access to a stove! Prior to receiving the grant, the cafeteria had to rely on only heating up items in ovens. Now they are able to prepare healthier options for students.

“This morning we are making sauce, pulled pork, pulled chicken and meatballs,” says Ron Gilbertson, Director of Cafeteria Services. “This would have been an impossibility without a grant from The Lion Foundation.”

FALL SENIOR BANNERS GO UP! As part of this relatively new tradition in the Camp Hill School District, The Lion Foundation has again sponsored banners that are posted as a way for athletic teams and the band to recognize their seniors. This optional program also recognizes Winter and Spring seniors. Banners are paid for out of Lion Foundation team funds and are given to the seniors at their end of season banquets. All seniors who participate in the activity are recognized.

CLASS OF 2017 SHOWS GENEROSITY The Lion Foundation appreciates a donation of nearly $2,000 from the Camp Hill High School Class of 2017. This generous donation is a fantastic way support academic, athletic and cultural programs for Camp Hill students today and into the future. Thank you to the Class of 2017!

MESSAGE FROM SUPERINTENDENT PATRICIA S. CRAIG

Dear Community Members,

It’s hard to believe that the first marking period of the 2017-18 school year is behind us. I am very proud of the efforts Camp Hill staff and students have made to be fully engaged in teaching and learning opportunities that support a continued commitment to Educational Excellence, Community Strength and Student Success.

In August, during the opening day activities for faculty and staff, we began to scratch the surface of the interesting research behind grit and growth mindset and the important role both of these traits play in our lives and the lives of our students.

The research is telling us: • Students with a growth mindset understand that intelligence is not a fixed trait that is set in stone at birth.

• Students with a growth mindset believe that intelligence and talent can be developed through hard work and dedication.

• What people believe about their ability is much more important than their actual ability when considering long-term success.

• It is possible to promote a growth mindset by teaching students about the neuroscience evidence that the brain is malleable and gets stronger through effort, trying new strategies (even at the risk of failing) and seeking help and advice from others.

• By changing the way in which we interact with students, we can encourage them to adopt more of a growth mindset.

In the book titled Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, Carol Dweck states: “When people change to a growth mindset, they change from a judge-and-be-judged framework to a learn-and-help-learn framework. Their commitment is to growth, and growth takes plenty of time, effort and mutual support.” Undoubtedly, the research behind grit and growth mindset will continue well into the future and will expand our thinking as parents and educators. The challenge for all of us moving forward is to accept the charge for promoting and modeling a growth mindset for our children. Our hope is that you join us in accepting this charge.

For additional District information and updates, please access our website regularly and follow us on Twitter @camphillsd. We thank you for your continued support, for partnering with us to empower our students to achieve their full potential, and for helping us to make every day a great day to have Lion PRIDE! Sincerely,

Patricia S. Craig

CHSD KICKS OFF DISTRICT-WIDE PBIS PROGRAM The 17-18 school year marks the first year that the Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS) program was implemented at Hoover, Eisenhower, and the High School. The Middle School is in its fifth year of implementation.

Hoover Elementary and Eisenhower Elementary held kickoff assemblies where the Camp Hill Lion mascot made an appearance. In keeping with Lion Pride, students earn rewards for demonstrating qualities of PRIDE. The Middle School will continue the PRIDE program for students and will also focus on positive feedback for teachers and staff.

The High School started the year with a kickoff assembly and have engaged a group of students to help define their PBIS program. Teachers, principals, and Mrs. Craig have reported positive feedback and enjoy hearing students talk about Lion PRIDE.

DISTRICT COMPREHENSIVE GOALS The District submitted our Comprehensive Plan in November 2016 and it was approved by PDE. Because of Act 118 of 2016, the PA Planning Team set those plans back into “planning” mode to allow schools the time to continue revising as necessary. Over the course of the summer, the Leadership Team met multiple times to discuss District accomplishments and roadblocks in order to re-prioritize current needs and make the necessary revisions to the plan goals and implementation steps originally submitted last November. The revised plan must be Board approved and re-submitted to PDE in November. The approved plan will then be in effect from July 2018 through June 2021. Listed below are the District’s Comprehensive Goals. The full plan is available on the District’s website: www.camphillsd.k12.pa.us.

Goal 1:

The CHSD will establish a system that fully ensures students who are academically and/or behaviorally at risk, are identified early and are supported by a process that provides interventions based upon student needs and includes procedures for monitoring effectiveness.

Goal 2:

The CHSD will establish a system that fully ensures the consistent implementation of effective instructional practices supported by professional development that is focused, comprehensive and implemented with fidelity.

Goal 3:

The CHSD will establish a system that fully ensures the use of data to effectively justify the allocation and alignment of instructional and infrastructural priorities.

School Board Director Retires

Long Range Infrastructure Plan One of the goals in the District's Comprehensive Plan is to "Establish a system that fully ensures the use of data to effectively justify the allocation and alignment of instructional and infrastructural priorities." The first step in implementation of this goal occurred in the spring of 2017 when the District put out a request for proposals to complete a comprehensive long range capital improvement planning process and to prepare a District Long Range Facilities Plan (LRFP) to include each District site. The last Long Raange Facilities Plan for the District was completed 16 years ago.

Mrs. Jill Williamson, one of our fabulous and long-standing Board Directors, retired in September. Jill has served in the capacity of School Director for 36 years, longer than any other School Board Director in the history of Camp Hill School District; an amazing accomplishment! Ass a School Board Director Jill has demonstrated strong leadership, care, dedication, commitment, and enthusiasm. She is, and will continue to be, a strong supporter of public education and the Camp Hill School District. Jill is a former educator and has four children who came through the District. She is also a devoted grandmother and is looking forward to spending more time with her children and her grandchildren. Needless to say, Jill will be missed dearly!

Ten proposals were submitted and after careful consideration and evaluation, EI Associates waas engaged by the District to prepare the plan. The process will take approximately five months.

In an effort to keep the community apprised and engaged, we will be updating the LR Facilities Plan tab on our website as information becomes available.
