Angel Tree Initiative
The Angel Tree Initiative was very successful again this year! The total raised was $13,595.00
Forty-three families benefited by the donations raised to make the holidays brighter.
The Angel Tree Initiative is the District’s initiative to make some of our student’s holiday season a bit brighter by providing those financially struggling families with assistance so they may purchase their families presents, clothes or food for the holiday and winter season.
Thank you to everyone who donated to make this a joyous season for Oley Valley families.Elementary School News

Annual Veterans Day Celebration at Oley Valley Middle School
On Monday, November 11th, the students, faculty, and staff at OVMS enthusiastically welcomed 51 distinguished veterans to our school for a morning of patriotic celebration! The day began with a continental breakfast in the cafeteria and continued in the auditorium with a student-led assembly that included special musical performances from the middle school orchestra, 6th grade band, and Select Chorus. Eighth grade Student Council members participated in the assembly by distributing flowers to each veteran as they were personally recognized by branch and rank.
We were honored to include several distinguished veterans from the American Legion Oley Post, including Sgt. Carl Brown (United States Army) and Sgt. James Erwin (United States Air Force), who presented the names of the top ten sixth grade essay contest finalists. The finalists were invited to the stage to receive a certificate for their hard work, and the top three finalists received prize money and the opportunity to share their essays with the school. This year’s essay topic was Does the United States Military Receive the Respect it Deserves? The top three student winners were Olivia Denton (1st place), Jordyn Nase (2nd place), and Aidan Richard (3rd place).
Eighth grader, Morgan Snyder, invited her grandfather, Seaman E-3 Stuart M. Snyder (United States Navy) to attend the Veterans Day breakfast and assembly. “My grandfather really appreciated being a part of the celebration. I am proud that he served our country.”
Eighth grader, Vinny Dick, also participated in the Veterans Day program by welcoming his father, Petty Officer 3rd Class Vinny Dick, Jr. (United States Navy) to our school. “My dad enjoys coming to these events at the school and is glad we do them. He looks forward to it each year, and I am proud of him.”
Dr. Scott Rohrer, OVMS Principal, received special recognition for his service to our country as a Sergeant in the United States Army. Thank you for your service, Dr. Rohrer, and THANK YOU to the many brave men and women who have served the United States!

The Village by Caroline Hannum
Vil-lage
/vilij/
noun
a group of houses and associated buildings, larger than a hamlet and smaller than a town, situated in a rural area.
There will be a field passing on your right. Another on your left. Look closely, past the silos. Fisher’s stand, working out of the red barn with the stone house right off the highway, has its produce out. A collection of sweet corn, cantaloupes, home-made pies and a mountain of purpled blueberries that will remind you of the empty bowl at home resting on the kitchen table. Keep driving. If the windows are cracked open it should be alright, it’s not planting season so the air won’t be rank with manure and your eyes won’t water. There are mountains, hills really, but mountains seemed so much grander when you realized you could first describe this place that you came from. So geographically correct or not, there are mountains beyond the fields. If you want, you can let your hand rest out the window. You'll drive past the Yerger’s house, see the dairy cows in the other field approaching.
One year, the year you did a soccer camp and Mom would drive back and forth quite literally over hill and under dale through the twists of the valley, you both noticed this one cow that just lay there. One day passed and it was still stuck there. Another day passed, and it was in the same reclined position, its stomach puzzlingly distended. Finally, the cow was gone. Mom’s eyes searched your face to see if the lines in your brain had made the connection and you just laughed, because well, that cow had been dead for at least three days and you both had stupidly thought it was sleeping. The car will pass this sign in a moment, on the side of the highway, carved and decorated with a time-stamp and wheat stalks fixed into the wood. Your eyes will narrow in until finally you can read “Welcome to the village of. ...”
See, growing up in a place, you know what it’s called but you never understand how, or why, or the implication. For however many years, “village” never rolled off the tongue. You would vocalize the “Oh I'm from-insert hometown here-," and then there would be this little voice in the back of your head going, “The village of. The Village of blank.” You never put the two together and here you are years later after being gone. Coming and going, the seven letters combined are really sticking, protruding outwards for some reason. Is that what happens when you leave? I mean really leave, not just the first year you’re gone, or the second one when you come back and realize your room is a little different and the faces not so familiar but the last names ring a bell. Or worse, there’s the third year where you find yourself seeing these faces, recognizing all of the names, but there’s this little piece missing. This segment, the one where the wires are meant to be straight and uncrossed and a bell or the proverbial light is meant to react to the names and faces. That is what stays dormant or more likely dead. Nothing. Nada. You’ve checked out, really left at this point. However, there’s the village. The unspoken, always there, signifier of how to succinctly sum up this place. So you, for the first time in your well educated life, look up this word. Webster’s defines this term as follows:
“a group of houses and associated buildings, larger than a hamlet and smaller than a town, situated in a rural area.”
Your brain immediately breaks this down. “Associated buildings” are red brick houses, slate roofs, the fairgrounds directly behind your house or the old inn at the center of Main Street. The youth building that could double as a taxidermy museum. Why do stuffed raccoons make your heart ache?
You can’t imagine that this little crook, filled with tractor paths, a high school let out for the first day of hunting season, the church with the hoagie sale and the walls that let your parents say “I love you” in front of stained glass, could be bigger than something. Probably those that live in a hamlet can’t imagine that their own corner of existence is larger than some spots in this world.
Valleys are situated. Hills meshed together, creating this bowl of contained, isolated existence that requires the force of upward motion if one wants to leave. This place is rested, fixed in an area where your high school teacher graduated with your father, whose daughter you have been in classes with since kindergarten. People who perk up at your last name as they rattle off a list of aunts and uncles to see who you belong to and please god let it be the one who didn’t let the pig loose in the school courtyard. A rural area, where the fair means one day off of school. Where Future Farmers of America is a sense of pride for those involved and that still makes you twinge because people don’t understand how hard these people work and how fiercely they love this valley. More than anything it is that drive. The one where you see the fields. The cows with nothing but the mountains, yes mountains, behind them. Fisher’s stand with colors that no museum could hope to hold. And this light. This gold light that makes you feel safe and rooted to what is around you. It is your hand out the window, seeing the sign with the wheat stalks and the dates. The sign with “village”.
WOW! Go! Go! Go! Oley Valley Athletes!

Oley Valley High School FFA at the Oley Valley Community Fair - Keep up the good work!
FFA Members Busy at the Fair
September 19, 2019, marked the 73rd annual Oley Valley Community Fair! This year’s fair was filled with activities for people of all ages! Thanks to all of the help from our FFA members, we’re able to have another successful “Farmer for a Day” tent at the fair. In the tent, people gain hands-on experience with agriculture in several different ways. Typically the tent contains two types of animals this year being a miniature donkey and ducklings. The ducklings are placed into an incubator where they hatch and then moved to a pen once they are stable enough. Once in the pen, FFA members are allowed to hold them and allow visitors to pet them. Along with the ducklings, we had a miniature donkey, Cody, who belongs to Oley Valley graduate, Lexie Schrier. The tent also includes several agriculture-based games for children. The grocer game consists of several food items that need to be categorized into what they come from. The farmer for a day station involves gathering eggs, picking apples, and digging for potatoes, and the wheel allows kids to understand what animal their food comes from. The last activity in the tent allows kids to learn how to milk a cow and understand the different breeds of cows and their purposes. Although the tent is a big hit, it’s not the only thing keeping our FFA members busy at the fair. Several members also got involved in some healthy competition! Marshall Kerper, Wyatt Kerper, Rebecca Kugler, Grace Prout, and Haley Weidman competed against each other in the sheep show at the fair! Sarah Berger, Autumn Gammler, Morgan Hillegas, Ethan Sterner, and Colby Templin showed their cows and Matthew Walters showed for goats. Several students taking the animal science course participated in the Dairy Management Contest for a chance to win a cash prize! Other members participated in the tractor pull and other fun events and competitions. Make sure to come out next year for the 74th annual Oley Valley Community Fair and stop in the tent to visit our FFA Members!

Oley Valley FFA Takes on Nationals!
Previously, in June, several of our FFA members attended the 90th annual Pennsylvania State Convention. There, two of our teams placed first, qualifying for Nationals! The first team was Meats, consisting of Oliver Prout, Ethan Sterner, Josh Triechler, and Alysha Ulrich. In the Meat Evaluation and Technology CDE, participants are challenged to identify and evaluate cuts of meat and carcasses as well as practice critical-thinking strategies. Our second team to qualify was Food Science which included Andrew Kline, Anthony Neal, Erin Readinger, and Haley Weidman. In the Food Science and Technology CDE, participant's knowledge of food science and application of knowledge is tested. These skills are tested in a 50 question written tests, solving scenarios regarding safety, sanitization, and product development. Participants also have practicums involving sensory evaluation, product specification, and math. The past few months our members have been busy studying and headed out to the convention on Tuesday, October 29th to compete. Both teams did very well, with Meats earning a bronze medal and Food Science earning a gold medal and sixth place. The Food Science team also won a trip sponsored by the U.S. Egg and Poultry Association to Atlanta, Georgia in January to attend the International Production and Processing Expo. Although the majority of their time was spent studying and competing, the members were able to go to other events in their spare time. Some of this time was spent at the National FFA Career Show which allowed the members to visit several different ag colleges and businesses. Along with that, they were able to go to a rodeo and Brett Young Concert! We are very proud of our members and their accomplishments. Congratulations!

Elementary Principal
The Oley Valley Elementary School raised $554.00 for the Berks County Food Bank for the annual Buy a Pilgrim campaign.
The elementary student council collected $775.00 during the annual coin wars at the elementary school. All money raised supported the district Angel Tree program. Fourth grade collected the most money and will receive a grade level incentive from the PTO.
The 5th grade chorus concert and the band and orchestra concerts were a huge success! All students did an amazing job! Thank you to Mrs. Rothenberger, Mrs. Vinanskie, and Ms. Manning for their efforts in preparing the students for the concerts.
Fifth grade science is continuing to monitor the growth of our resident trout family. Since the eggs hatching, there are approximately 60 miniature trout swimming happily and thriving in their chilly water. The trout will be released into a nearby stream in the spring.
The elementary school will be participating in One School, One Book in February with the school community reading the book, Wishtree. One School, One Book is a program designed to create a shared reading experience across an entire school community. We are excited to share the message of the Wishtree with everyone!
Elementary math teachers reviewed Dreambox, an adaptative, online K-8 math program designed to complement classroom instruction. The program would be used by all students and serve as part of MTSS math remediation and enrichment.

A teacher will be selected monthly to spotlight in our building newsletter (November & December newsletters will be combined). The teacher of the month for November was Mr. Ken Bagenstose, ELA.
On Friday, December 6th the Oley Valley PTSO sponsored the Middle School dress-up dance from 7:00-9:30pm. Over 100 students participated. Students had the opportunity to take formal photos, dance, eat and socialize. It was a very positive event with many supportive parents decorating and assisting throughout the evening.
Four middle school teachers participated in a “Dreambox” demo on December 11th with the elementary staff. DreamBox Learning is an online software provider. The program offers math resources for students in grades K-8. It is our goal to identify appropriate/successful resources for our students.
High School Board Report
Gina Finnerty, Principal
December 2019
Oley Valley High continues its lynx spirit with lots of activities, spirit, and academic success. On November 19th, we inducted new members of National Honor Society. Our students and parents came out to celebrate the hard work and service of our outstanding students.
On November 25, 26, and 27th, we had parent conferences. When teachers weren’t meeting with parents, they were collaborating with each other looking at curriculum and student data, and discussing ways to improve their instruction to meet the needs of students. Parents had positive feedback and some even took the time to email after conferences to share their experiences!
We congratulated two students for their nomination to the Fleetwood Rotary Student of the Month, Abigail Marburger, our BCTC representative; and, Haley Weidman on December 4th at the Moselem Spring Golf Club.
Our athletic teams continue to prove they are the best! Our cheerleaders won 2nd at Districts and have qualified for the PIAA State Championships on January 10 & 11th. Our Field Hockey and Boys soccer teams ended their seasons as BCIAA Champions and field hockey went to States finishing second behind Wyoming Seminary!
On December 10, 2019, Jenn Hoffman, Jason Moll, and Chris Buckner presented to the Berks County STEM network. They shared all of the amazing things Oley Valley School District is doing with STEM at all three levels. About 40 people from across the county attended and left with positive and innovative ideas to incorporate at their respective school.
On Friday, December 13th, our HS had the Chorus and Orchestra concert where it was standing room only! Our students, once again, did a phenomenal job and certainly helped everyone get in the spirit of the holidays!
Our guidance department is meeting with 9th and 10th grade students in large (approx 15/20 students) groups to complete a career interest assessment. The 10th graders have completed the career interest profiler which identifies students’ likes and correlates to careers that might be appropriate for them. The 9th graders will complete the Strength Explorer. This inventory takes into account what students are good at doing and correlates it to career options. The students complete a worksheet to help solidify if any of these careers have long term potential. The counselors are also meeting with mid marking period failures as well as planning the upcoming paw squad meetings. Last but not least, they continue to monitor our seniors in danger of failing, as well as follow up with those last minute students that still have not submitted their college applications.
Everyone is excited for the holiday break but we are coming together for Monday, December 23rd for a service day. The high school has various activities, friendly competitions, and volunteer opportunities that will give everyone a choice of how to participate and spend their time serving others, including raising money for Mini-thon. Our staff and students have also participated in Toys for Tots and Teddy Bear Collection for Conner and Brinley Snyder of Greenwich Elementary in Kutztown.
On behalf of the high school staff and students of Oley Valley High School, we hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and Happy New year!
