Ginger Goudie with a student at The Janus School
Community invited to 5K and Fall Fest BY CATHY MOLITORIS
or more than 20 years, Ginger Goudie taught students at The Janus School in Mount Joy, making an impact every day. “She taught math, and she also taught our junior and senior success classes, where she helped students with internships and opportunities to be more involved in the community,” said James Dempsey, dean of students. “She was also a big fan of fall and a big fan of the outdoors. She was an incredible person who gave it her all in the classroom and outside the classroom for our students.” Goudie passed away from cancer last November, and the staff members at The Janus School wanted to honor her memory. They are organizing the Ginger Goudie Memorial 5K and The Janus School Fall Fest on Saturday, Oct. 28. The events will be
“You can walk or run and then walk around and check out the Fall Fest activities.” The 5K will begin at 10 a.m., followed by a kids’ half-mile fun run at 11:30 a.m. The Fall Fest will also begin at 11:30 a.m. Medals will be awarded for various age groups in the 5K, and trophies will be presented to the top male and top female finisher.
The Fall Fest will feature a variety of family-friendly activities, including bounce houses, crafts and food. Food trucks on-site will be Gourmet Julie’s Way, Noel’s Café, Stoney’s Burgers and Fries, What’s For Supper and TJ’s Ice Cream. The festivities are open to anyone in the community, and head of school Heather Strunk hopes the day will raise awareness of everything The Janus School does. “We are the only K to 12 independent school for students with learning differences in southcentral Pennsylvania,” Strunk explained. “We serve students in six counties Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon and York.” The Janus School currently has 74 students enrolled, but new students are accepted throughout the school year, she noted. “We’re working to empower our

“This world can be a dark, gloomy place, from things going on in the world to personal trials in our lives,” said Jessica Rockey, children and youth director of Glossbrenner United Methodist Church. “We want to offer you a break from that to have some good old-fashioned fun.” The church will host a Family Fall Festival from 5 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 7, at 713 Church St., Mount Joy. Rockey said people can expect a free, fun evening out of the house, with opportunities for children to
win prizes, jump in a bounce house, paint pumpkins, make crafts and enjoy free food, including hot dogs, popcorn and build-your-own s’mores. “My personal favorite is the family photo we provide, where the kids can make a frame, and they can look back every year to see how they grew from one Fall Fest to the next,” Rockey shared. “The best part is everything is free. I know how it can be, being a mother myself and your children constantly begging for money at an event. We are blessed to have some generous folks in our
