Job well done to our two Red Lion Envirothon teams, the Ravenous Raccoons and the Red Lion Roadkill. This group of awesome students competed this week against 18 other teams from across York County on the topics of Soils, Wildlife, Aquatics, Forestry, and Climate Change. Huge congratulations to the Ravenous Racoons who placed 8th overall and 4th in Soils!

This past week, we celebrated administrative assistant’s day! When you have a moment, please thank our amazing office ladies, Mrs. Dherit, Mrs. Kriner, Mrs. Grove, Ms. Hoffman, Mrs. Seiple, Mrs. Hill, and Mrs. Mentzer for all that they do for each of us!

This week's Pawsitive Pal is Mrs. Tina Funke!

A Red Lion alumna, Mrs. Funke is a veteran member of the English Department, teaching English 3 and English 4. She continually works to improve her craft in order to provide her students with a learning environment that supports them in reaching their full potential.

This year, in collaboration with her co-teacher Mrs. Wireman, Mrs. Funke implemented Signposts—a reading strategy that helps students understand and analyze texts more deeply.

Beyond the classroom, Mrs. Funke is a proud supporter of various student activities. She can often be seen at both sporting and musical events and recently delivered a middle-of-the-night motivational speech at Mini-THON.

Mrs. Funke, thank you for your dedication to your students and to Red Lion!
