Make a Change!
Bills that would help charter schools are going to be voted on NEXT WEEK!
Right now, the only voices being heard by members of the House are those of the opposition. They need to hear that you support the meaningful reforms contained in House Bills 355, 356, 357 and 358!
Make a call (or four) and tell our Legislators they have pro-charter supporters in their district and that you support meaningful charter reform.

Interested in Starting an Instrument?
Stop by the Walk In Art Center in Schuylkill Haven on August 3rd between 1 and 5 pm to have the chance to try a variety of woodwind and brass instruments.
Moe-Bleichner Music Distribution (based in Pottsville, PA) will have instruments and staff to explain how to create a sound on each instrument. This is a great opportunity for you or your child to learn about the instruments they can play and find the instrument that they love. This event is free and open to the public.
We are looking forward to sharing our passion for instruments with you!
