Mrs. Sarah Crothers, the educational director from Schuylkill River Greenways, visited classrooms in November, to talk with the students about the historical, cultural, and economic importance of the Schuylkill River. She also encouraged the students to carry the responsibility of keeping our river clean.

| PGMS Honor Roll Update Effective 2019-20 |
| Important information for all volunteers |
Volunteer clearances must be less than 1 year old when they are initially submitted. Once submitted, they are good for 5 years. Many parent volunteers are approaching the time their clearances will expire. New clearances are due by the first day of the month in which the oldest clearances were issued. For example, if your ACT 151 Child Abuse is from January 2015 and your ACT 34 PA Criminal check is from February 2015, ALL clearances must be renewed prior to January 1, 2020.
When submitting your new or updated clearances, you only need to submit them to one school and they will be updated in the District database.
PLEASE NOTE:
YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR ORIGINAL CLEARANCES AND SUBMIT A COPY TO THE DISTRICT. YOU WILL NEED YOUR ORIGINAL CLEARANCES FOR OTHER ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS PTA, BOYS/GIRLS SCOUTS, YOUTH COACHING ETC. THE DISTRICT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE YOU COPIES OF YOUR CLEARANCES ONCE SUBMITTED.
Thank you for volunteering for Pottsgrove School District!!!
