National Honor Society Inducts 53
The 2013 Quilt of Valor took Best in Show at this year’s York
Fair. The project, completed by Middle School students, also received first place in Community Service. The quilt was presented
to the family of Spc. Cameron J Stambaugh, a 2010 SGAHS graduate, who was killed in action in Afghanistan in July 2012.
The Quilt of Valor project is a significant example of how our
students learn to appreciate the sacrifices that others make on
our behalf. This is the sixth year for the project, described by one
participants as the best thing he has ever done in his life.
MS teachers, Ruth Benner and Nancy Daniels direct the students
in their work on the quilt.
Student’s Grad Project Makes
Christmas Special for Children
Evan Greer, Class of 2014, used his graduation project to brighten the holidays for area children. Evan collected over 1,300 toys
and over $2,600 in donations to support the Marine Corps Reserve’s Toys for Tots campaign. The majority of the contributions
came through a basket bingo fundraiser that Evan planned in September. He is shown above with retired Marine Paul Hendricks.

The Spring Grove Area High School students proudly present The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, the C.S.Lewis
classic tale focusing on the power of children to make a
difference.
Set in two acts, the show tells of an imaginary land discovered by four lonely children during World War II. The children are quickly caught up in the struggle between Asland,
the great lion, and the White Witch, who is determined to
defeat him with her evil.
This story of love, faith, courage and giving, with its triumph of good over evil, is a family favorite, whether in film,
story or on the stage.
Don't miss this show!
November 22 and 23 at 7pm; with matinees at 2 pm on
Saturday, November 23 and Sunday, November 24. Tickets
are $8 each; with preferred seating available for an additional $2. Children, students and adults over 65 are $5 each.
