‘Art Goes to School’ program needs new volunteers
The “Art Goes to School” program brings reproductions of important art to each school’s art room. The program reaches students from kindergarten through fifth grade.
Volunteers meet weekly at the Kirby’s Mill Elementary School on Monday mornings.
No prior art background is needed. A love of children, an opportunity to meet new friends and the desire to explore something new in your life is all you need to be a member of this enriching program.

LRHSD kicks off their annual Goodwill clothing drive
Beginning in 2011, the district decided to organize a friendly competition between the four high schools — Lenape, Shawnee, Cherokee and Seneca — to see which could collect the largest amount of clothing donations.
Students, staff and community members are invited to participate in this clothing drive, with Goodwill donation bins located at each high school. The bins were put in place on Sept. 24 and they will remain on site through Nov. 13.
This year’s clothing drive champion will be crowned at the Turkey Bowl game taking place at the Cherokee High School stadium.

‘Food Trucks on Main Street’ brings success to everyone involved
There was also discussion of changing the time the food trucks arrive to 5 p.m. instead of 6 p.m., due to the high amount of traffic at the past two events. The council discussed this would potentially draw in more people stopping for food after work, instead of just those planning to walk along Main Street.
According to Burger, the vendors have stated the events have exceeded their expectations and nine of the 11 vendors that are expected in October have agreed to arrive at 5 p.m.
