HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OF CHESTER COUNTY CONTEST
I am reaching out to you on behalf of Habitat for Humanity of Chester County. Every year we host a contest for fifth-graders across the Delaware Valley called Build a House...Build a Dream. In this contest, fifth-graders are challenged to work individually or in pairs to build a 3D model of their dream home. Then on the day of the contest, they present their model to our judges, many of whom are professionals in the construction, engineering, design, and real estate professions. The top 3 entries earn prizes, but there are raffles and fun for all who attend! Next year's contest will be held the morning of Saturday, March 23 at Church Farm School in Exton.
This is the sixteenth year the contest has been held and it is truly a favorite for students and parents alike. The contest is free to enter, so we raise money through generous sponsorships with local businesses. Throughout the contest's existence, we have raised over half a million dollars to build Habitat homes throughout the Delaware Valley.
Thank you so much for your consideration!

LEARN TO PLAY GROUPS - HOCKEY
Yes, hockey is fun
Yes, hockey builds physical skills and coordination
Yes, hockey is a great family activity you and your child can enjoy together
But there's a lot more to hockey.
Hockey builds confidence and character
Hockey teaches teamwork and sportsmanship
Hockey is membership in a community that lasts for life.
Learning to play hockey is more than just learning a game. More than skating, passing and stick-handling, hockey is about responsibility, respect and teamwork. As children learn the skills needed to succeed on the ice, they also build and solidify important character traits needed to succeed off the ice. With that in mind, the Learn to Play initiative was developed jointly by the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players’ Association to offer more families a chance to experience everything that makes youth hockey so rewarding.
Developed with the help of experts from USA Hockey and Hockey Canada, the Learn to Play initiative aims to be the gold standard for youth hockey programs with the goal of inspiring more families to join the hockey community. Learn to Play changes the way youth hockey is offered by providing first time participants, head-to-toe equipment, weekly sessions of age appropriate on-ice instruction and certified coaching, led by National Hockey League Alumni, in a fun and safe atmosphere. Learn to Play on-ice instruction plans have been developed in collaboration with experts from USA Hockey and Hockey Canada and taught by certified instructors and led by National Hockey League Alumni.
