After much consideration, the Susquehanna Township School Board announced that the district s current mascot The Indians will be retired.
School board president, Jesse Rawls made the announcement at the beginning of the school board meeting on Monday. We listened to the Native American and Indigenous communities that live with us as our students, neighbors, friends, and community leaders. We thank them for sharing their firsthand experiences and broader context of how tribal communities view the use of their names and their images as mascots.

Surrounded by trees, and bordered by a private 1-acre pond, this farmhouse, built around 1845, began life as a single room school house built in the late 1700s.
Over the years, thanks to additions, the single room, which is now the living room, grew to become a farmhouse, including a fully finished two-story carriage house, bank barn with stables suitable for horses, fenced land, fishing pond and spring house.
The previous owner, Dr. Paul Kase, lived on the 95-acre farm for over 25 years and co-developed the Windmere neighborhood, leaving the farm with its 9-plus acres.

The homeowner uses it as a showcase for art, with works by local artists such as Linda Benton McCloskey, Susan Bailey, Luis Cuevas, Kevyn Knox, R76Artist and Charles Fazzino.
As expected from the time period, the house has wooden floors, a staircase with custom milled woodwork and stained glass window flourishes. The second floor has an exposed brick wall, while most of the home has a mixture of tin and wood lath ceilings.
