Breaking Barriers With Humor and Hope
BY CAT SHANNON
When Drew Beekler takes the stage at a special event for The Janus School, he won’t just deliver punchlines. He’ll share a powerful story of perseverance, creativity and what can happen when you embrace the way you learn. The school will host “Breaking Barriers: A Night of Humor and Hope With Drew Beekler” on Friday, March 20, at 7 p.m. at its campus, 205 Lefever Road, Mount Joy.
The idea for the program came about after Beekler’s mother, Julie Barker, came to an event at the school last year and was struck by the hardworking students she met.
“She was reminded of the challenges her own son endured throughout school and thought that Drew’s story would resonate with our students,” recalled Brenda Keller, director of academics at The Janus School. Soon, Keller realized Beekler’s message would appeal
beyond the students, so the school decided to host a night for the community.
“Drew’s message of perseverance and following your passion is universal,” Keller said. “Had he
accepted the limits others put on him, he likely would not be where he is today. We can’t wait for him to be here to share his story with our students as well as the larger community. It will be an inspiring experience for anyone who attends.”
After spending time with the students and staff during the school day and addressing them in an assembly presentation, Beekler will start the evening with a brief family-friendly comedy set.
“He will then share his story and perspective of being a student with learning challenges, including dyslexia, and his experience of discovering his artistic talents,” Keller said. “Drew will share more about how he embraced those differences and was able to empower himself with strategies and tools that would give him the confidence to pursue a successful visual arts career and now stand-up comedy.”
Barker will also speak at the event, sharing her perspective and how significant a role support and resources

Cooking Up Hope at Relay For Life
BY CAT SHANNON
About 25 years ago, Joan Schaum learned about Relay For Life, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, through her employer, and she joined a team. She didn’t know that the organization would touch her personally in the future.
Years later, her mother-in-law, Jackie Immel, moved in with Joan and her husband, Jeffrey, to their home in Columbia. While living with the Schaums, Immel was diagnosed with several types of cancer.
The Schaums took Immel to the Lancaster Relay For Life, which was then a 24-hour event focused on walking laps around a track to raise funds for cancer research.
“She loved walking around the track,” Joan recalled. “When she couldn’t walk around the track anymore for the survivor lap, we put her in a wheelchair and pushed her around the track. She thought it was awesome that all these people were clapping for her and cheering her on, and she had no idea who they were.”

Three years ago, competitive spirit cheerleading at Donegal High School was officially recognized under PIAA rules, opening the door to district and state competition. But for head coach Kellye Herbert, that milestone was only the beginning.
“I was determined to grow this program beyond that to the regionals and nationals stage,” Kellye shared. “The team attended a regional qualifier called the Keystone Regionals at Santander Arena in Reading back in December. The team placed a second-place spot, earning them a bid to attend the National High School Cheer Championship.”
In 2016, Immel passed away from kidney failure. The loss prompted the Schaums to take action in Immel’s memory.
“We thought it would be nice to honor her, and she liked the Relay so much, we decided to start our own team,” Jeffrey said.
Recalling how much his mom liked the survivors’ dinner part of Relay For Life, he had an idea.
“We thought, ‘Why don’t we start a survivor breakfast?’” Jeffrey said. “Growing up, any time we had big events, my mom cooked. We thought, ‘What a great way to honor her by cooking for the cancer survivors and their caregivers.’”
They named their team The Breakfast Crew, and they served

From Jan. 28 to Feb. 3, 14 athletes and two coaches traveled to compete in the Universal Cheerleaders
Association (UCA) national championship in Orlando, Fla.
“This is a history-making event for Donegal School District’s cheer program as we are the first to attend

nationals. Nationals overall was the best experience. The energy was unlike anything we’ve ever experienced,” Kellye recalled. “The atmosphere was dreamlike, lumped in with the best of the nation, and we earned our qualifying spot here just like the rest.”
For the competition, the team debuted two routines, a traditional two-and-a-half-minute routine that would typically be performed at PIAA-level competitions and a gameday routine, which is three and a half minutes long.

“(It) features things you’d typically see us do at a football game, a band chant which we perform to band music followed by situational - offense or defense chant - then cheer and finish up with our fight song dance,” Kellye explained, adding that this type of routine is newer to the cheer world and a favorite of hers due to its high energy and focus on skills the team members hone all season.
The team performed the two routines in one day at nationals.
“Traditional really proved to be difficult for us this year,” Kellye said. “Our choreography was challenging. Mastering elite-level stunts was not for the weak.”
She continued, “There were hundreds of teams from the nation in our division, so the pressure was on, but the team stepped up to the challenge. It’s the hardest routine I’ve ever coached, and the pressure truly was a privilege.”
Although the team fell short of winning it all, Kellye noted she’s proud of the athletes and their performance.
“The team had a beautiful performance and missed advancing to semifinals by .5,” she said. “Just being national qualifiers and attending was such a joy. This team is so resilient and
their first meal of pancakes, baked goods, meats and more in the tent at the Relay For Life site at Conestoga Valley High School.
“We were hoping we could bring in people who couldn’t come for the Friday night meal,” Jeffrey said, noting that at the time, Relay For Life took place from Friday to Saturday.
The Breakfast Crew features about 20 members, all from Joan and Jeffrey’s family.
“My brothers and sister help, and Joan’s family jumped right in, too,” Jeffrey said.
Over the years, the group has served hundreds of people, providing upwards of 150 servings at each meal.
“He never does anything little,”Joan said with affection toward her husband. “He was feeding the Relay For Life workers, the EMS people on-site, anybody walking the track.”
After the pandemic, the format for
Relay For Life changed. It became a one-day event that takes place in the afternoon and evening, negating the need for a breakfast, but the Schaums continued to serve the cause.
“The organizers asked us if we’d like to do a dinner instead, so we did,” Jeffrey said. “Last year, we made chicken potpie. This year, we’re doing homemade chicken corn soup and vegetable beef soup.”
They still call their team The Breakfast Crew, even though they are now serving dinner, and their contributions have extended beyond Relay day.
Each February, they help to host Taste of Relay, a potluck-style dinner for cancer survivors and their caregivers. During the Christmas season, they organize a Breakfast with Santa event.
On Saturday, March 28, they’ll host breakfast with the Easter Bunny at the Easter Egg Hunt, Breakfast & Spring Vendor Market. The event is open to the public and will take place at the Church of the Apostles, 1850
Marietta Ave., Lancaster. Doors will open at 8:45 a.m., and the event will run until noon. For more information, visit https://bit.ly/4aUSP6V.
“Everything is donated for the meals we provide,”Joan said. “We don’t charge Relay for anything. Our family members all help out, even if they can’t be there the day of the meal. They’ll make something or donate something.”
The Schaums encourage others to get involved in Relay For Life, noting that the organization has numerous ways for people to volunteer, including helping with setup or cleanup at the Relay or volunteering with other activities throughout the year.
Although they didn’t realize how big a part Relay For Life would play in their lives when Joan joined that first team decades ago, they both say they can’t imagine not being involved with the cause.
Both emphasize how positive Relay For Life is, focusing on optimism and joy.
“It’s not a morbid event. It’s a celebration,” Joan said. “It’s about the mission to celebrate life, remember loved ones, fight back and offer hope.”
Both Joan and Jeffrey agree that tackling a cause like eradicating cancer is an overwhelming task, but they believe that everyone can make an impact.
“Everybody says, ‘What can I do? We can’t fix this,’” Jeffrey said. “Well, there’s strides being made every day in the fight against cancer. Having The Breakfast Crew is something we can do. We can’t do everything, but we can do this.”
The 2026 Relay For Life will be held on Friday, June 12, from 3 to 11 p.m. at Conestoga Valley High School, 2110 Horseshoe Road, Lancaster. Now called the Festival of Hope, the event will feature survivor activities and dinner, a caregiver area, a glow run, inflatables and other kids’ activities, food trucks, vendors and more.

play in a student’s success.
A Lancaster County native, Beekler has an impressive career in visual arts and has won an Emmy award for his special effects work.
Along with remarks from Beekler and Barker, the event will feature a book giveaway, door prizes and resources for families, sponsor tables and a silent auction/basket giveaway, as well as a student-run snack bar with items for sale. Beekler will offer a meet-and-greet opportunity following the presentation.
The Janus School is the only independent school in central Pennsylvania dedicated to helping students with a language- or math-based learning
disability, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, executive function difficulties, a nonverbal learning disorder or an auditory processing disorder. It serves students from seven surrounding counties at its Mount Joy campus.
“At Janus, our mission is centered on empowering students with learning differences to recognize their strengths and thrive,” Keller said. “The ‘Breaking Barriers’ series is a natural extension of that mission. We want our students to see successful adults who share similar challenges. We also want our community to better understand the incredible potential that exists within students who simply learn differently.”
Keller emphasized that awareness leads to understanding and understanding leads to opportunity.
“This series helps build that bridge, and we want to serve our community with this important type of outreach,” she said. “If even one attendee leaves that evening believing more fully in their own potential, then we’ve accomplished exactly what we set out to do.”
Proceeds from the event will support program expenses and operations of The Janus School. Sponsors, including community businesses, are

invited to join the school in presenting “Breaking Barriers” to celebrate resilience, education, empowerment and the power of laughter and joy, Keller shared.
“‘Breaking Barriers’ isn’t just a program - it’s an experience,” Keller said. “Drew Beekler’s personality is captivating, and he brings natural humor, honesty and talent together in a way that makes people feel seen and inspired. Whether you’re a parent, educator, student or community member, you will walk away thinking differently about learning, resilience and potential.”
She said the evening will be uplifting, entertaining and deeply meaningful.
“So many families and educators have been touched by dyslexia, ADHD or other learning differences,” Keller remarked. “Hearing from someone who has lived that experience - and thrived - is powerful. Drew’s story resonates not just with students who struggle, but with anyone who has ever felt underestimated. There’s something incredibly special about gathering as a community around a message of perseverance and possibility. People desire hope and celebration, and this event will deliver that.”

already looking ahead to next year and hoping we can re-qualify again.”
The Donegal cheerleading team comprises captains Ashley Dommel, a senior, and Kylie Becker, a junior, along with seniors Olivia Martin and Izzy Zellers; juniors Tyra Cannon, Ashley Herbert and Keiana Reed; sophomores Shayelyn Heck, Mya Morales, Ahna Weinhold and Connelly Weymers; and freshmen Olivia Alvarez, Olivia Ripamonti and Jaylah Mann.
Kellye is the head varsity coach, and she’s joined by assistant coach Jaema Bonte.
Looking ahead to this season, Kellye is optimistic for another great year.
“My goals for the incoming team are to continue the momentum we have created,” she said. “The hard work and dedication of these athletes continues to make strides
towards greater success. Commitment and growth are my goals individually for my athletes and as a team to be resilient under pressure.”
She noted she’s proud of her athletes all around.
“The overall team GPA was 4.2 for the winter season, so this class-act team was focused on the mat and in the classroom,” she said, adding that the team members also volunteer with community organizations such as ECHOS. “There are no academic-related awards for cheerleaders, and I think it’s very important to note how successful this team is, truly putting the student-athlete in the spotlight.”
She encourages students entering grades seven through 12 to consider trying out for cheerleading. Tryout packets are available in the offices of Donegal High School, Junior High and Intermediate School, and tryouts will be held Monday, March 23, through Thursday, March 26.
