Elm Road Updates

This Friday, Sept. 29 is the big day and it looks like it's going to be a beautiful fall night! All the festivities kick off at 5:00 with the Fun Zone, followed by the parade, more Fun Zone, football game, and Fireworks! Click here for a full schedule; and click here for parking, parade route, and ticket info. Because this is a large community event and a lot of people are expected to attend, it is always a good idea to establish a Family Communication Plan before you go to any such event.

Thank you to the P-H-M Education Foundation and their generous sponsors for sponsoring all these festivities! All the proceeds from the money raised will go towards PHEF teacher grants to fund innovative classroom programs. One of the things that will help PHMEF raise money is the Virtual Silent Auction. Here's a short list of just some of the items:

Click here to get a sneak peek at the items now so you can decide what to bid on; then come back on Friday, Sept. 29 to bid. The Auction closes at Noon, Thursday, Oct. 5.

Students from all 15 schools will be participating in the parade this year. Penn student club parade floats will be beach themed. Starting Friday, Sept. 29 through next Tuesday, Oct. 3 you can vote on your favorite Penn student club float. Each vote is $5. Thanks to Penn Boosters, Penn students will get their first vote for FREE! The winning floats will receive monetary prizes from PHMEF.

After this week's big Homecoming weekend be sure to mark your calendars for the Community Connections Fair on Saturday, Oct. 7, 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., at Schmucker Middle School.
