Philly cheesesteak fundraiser will help Dustin Vitale’s mother finally see the pyramids of Giza Michael Klein, The Philadelphia Inquirer © DAVID MAIALETTI/The Philadelphia Inquirer/TNS Hailey and Dustin Vitale in their kitchen in Northeast Philadelphia. Last year, after Gloria Walker was told that she had late-stage bladder cancer, her son Dustin Vitale asked her: “If there’s one thing in the world you can do, what would it be?’” “She said, ‘I’d like to see the pyramids,’” he said. “Ever since she was a little girl, she’s wanted to see them.” Between raising a family and her work as a hospital dietitian coupled with a general aversion to flying she never visited Egypt.

Financial aid applications drop on federal level

By Susan Snyder, Kristen A. Graham The Philadelphia Inquirer/TNS Colleen McCaffrey, a senior at Northeast High in Philadelphia, spends much of her time trying to persuade her classmates to fill out federal college financial-aid forms. It’s a tougher sell this year. ”The hardest thing is just getting to people,” said McCaffrey, who’s part of Peer Forward, a program that trains teenagers to help their peers prepare for college. “In the past, we had assemblies. We could go into homerooms and talk to people in person. You can’t do that this year.” At Northeast, the city’s largest high school, about 46% of the 833 seniors have completed their Free Application for Federal Student Aid forms, known as FAFSA. That’s the highest rate of completion in the Philadelphia School District, said Venita DeLaRosa-Ortiz, a college and career coordinator at Northeast. But it’s also down from almost 60% this time last year.
