HHS To Hold Fundraiser At Variety Show
Holiday Shoppe Posted in Hempfield
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
Last year, Hempfield High School (HHS) introduced a new fundraiser to its yearly Variety Show, which will take place this year on Saturday, Dec. 3, at 6 p.m. the school’s performing arts center. Students, staff and attendees of the Variety Show will have an opportunity to purchase tickets for a gift basket drawing, and all funds raised will directly benefit students in need throughout the district. “The fundraiser was very successful last year. My goal this year was to expand on the idea and get more gift baskets,” said Maguire Younes, Student Council president. Avery Landis, the 11thgrade Student Council representative, contacted several businesses in Lancaster requesting donations for the baskets. Landis found that local businesses were overwhelmingly supportive of the See Variety Show pg 2 Hempfield High School students (clockwise from front left) Tony Stauffer, Lydia Maldonado, Mallory Bitts and Xavier Duprey-Diaz will operate stands at the event.

the Landisville Education Center. Beatty’s life skills class will operate a stand for The Grind, a mini business that serves coffee and snacks to Hempfield High School faculty every Friday. During the Holiday Shoppe, Beatty’s students will serve hot chocolate, coffee, doughnuts and hot dogs at lunchtime. Last year, the life skills class visited the Philadelphia Zoo with the money raised from The Grind. Some of Beatty’s other students will operate the Hempfield Magnet Makers and Knights of the Red Tablet stands. Each stand will sell custom-made holiday refrigerator magnets, as well as writing tablets, respectively. For the magnets, students use glue and fabric to create a design for the finished
products. “We make sure everything is perfect,” said student Lydia Maldonado. “The kids work so hard to make these items. I love seeing everything come to fruition,” said Beatty. “(The kids) display and sell the items and see the profits of their work.” Beatty also noted that the support from the community each year is tremendous; without the high turnout for the event, the school would not be able to continue it. So if you’re looking to purchase a holiday gift for yourself or a family member, or if you would just like a cup of fresh hot chocolate, check out the Holiday Shoppe at Hempfield this Christmas season.

empfield High School, 200 Stanley Ave., Landisville, will host its annual Holiday Shoppe on Friday, Dec. 9, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at its Franklin Gymnasium. Multiple stands will sell holiday items and treats in the gym, and each stand will be operated by a different class from within the Hempfield School District. The stands will only accept cash payment for goods. This year marks the seventh year that Hempfield has hosted the Holiday Shoppe, an idea that was inspired by the Lancaster Holiday Student Mini-Business Bazaar, sponsored by IU13. “We had been attending the IU13 holiday bazaar
for many years and realized how many Hempfield classes were participating,” said Kristie Beatty, who teaches the life skills class at the high school. Ranging from elementary school to high school, different classes run mini businesses for the Holiday Shoppe that sell items such as food, holiday gifts and crafts. All of the funds raised by each mini business directly benefit their respective class, used for things such as school supplies, field trips and special events. This year, 12 classes will set up stands for the event, including classes from Centerville Middle School, East Petersburg Elementary School, Landisville Middle School, Mountville Elementary School and
