The Acorn School took a field trip/walk to the Lucky 7 Travel Plaza on East Walnut Street in Lock Haven. Students had many parent volunteers that walked with their children. Children “earned” money in the classroom. If they were caught being good helpers, a good friend, using manners, following rules and directions, they earned a quarter. Each child earned enough money to buy a slushie at Lucky 7 Travel Plaza blue raspberry was the favorite. As a class, they discussed being responsible with money. They were excited to earn money to purchase the slushie and they paid the cashier themselves. Teachers are Miss Missy and Miss Malinda. The school thanked Manager Sunjeet Singh and his staff for making the field trip a great time. Acorn School is now accepting applications for the fall. If interested, please call 570-748-5991 or find Acorn School on Facebook. Pictured above, students hold their slushies up proudly outside of Lucky 7 Travel Plaza.

Christmas is always the most wonderful time of the year. It was also a “special day” for the Singh family. After all the presents were opened, Sunjeet told his father and family members that there was one more present to see. We must go to the Bald Eagle Truck Stop, he said. Sunjeet’s father owns and manages the truck stop. When they arrived, Sunjeet took the family to the front of the store. Before their eyes was a shiny new flag pole and “Old Glory” flying proudly. Sgt. Terry and Carmen Banfill gave this present, as well as another, a framed American flag to the family. Terry and Carmen’s son, Sean, a special agent with the Department of State, donated the flag that had flown over the embassy in Iraq on one of his deployments. The Singh family thanked the Banfills for the wonderful gift and for all they do in the area to promote our flag and for what it stands for. From left are Sgt.
