Manheim Township

Link Crew Leaders Know What It’s Like To Be Freshmen

BY JEFF FALK

The Manheim Township School District (MTSD) Link Crew program teaches and fosters kindness, empathy, inclusivity and equality. Those qualities are timeless life-affirming virtues that are especially relevant around the start of school.

“Here at Manheim Township, Link Crew is something I feel very passionate about,” said Chris Houck, one of five Link Crew advisers at the high school. “I feel good every time I walk away from training or activities; just seeing the work that (student leaders) do is astounding. We have a very good Link Crew program because it’s supported by teachers, administrators and the community. We have students who want to do better and want to make a difference.”

Part of a national peer mentoring and student transition initiative called the Boomerang Project, Link

Crew is a club activity in MTSD that combines elements of extracurricular activities and students helping students. Older students take younger students under their

wings, show them the ropes and help them feel welcome as they transition from the middle school to the high school and from elementary schools to the middle school.

The special attention is intended to help the younger students feel less anxious and more comfortable and also is meant to create an environment

There are so many great causes in Lancaster County. Locally, there are so many life-affirming nonprofits performing life-altering work.

The only thing greater is the generosity of Lancaster County residents.

Faithful Give seeks to link those donors and causes and to enhance that great work.

“Lancaster County has got to be one of the most generous counties

in the nation,” said Dave Kieffer, president of Faithful Give. “I feel like it gives God glory to highlight every way that Lancaster County needs to be served. There are a lot of people here carrying out Jesus’ ministry. It’s about giving your money, but it’s also about giving your time, treasures and talents. Our goal is to connect the donors and the need.”

Overseen by an eight-member board, Faithful Give is a county-wide, online giving extravaganza that also promotes volunteering, committed

The Benefits of Home Health Aides

Caregivers come from all walks of life. Doctors and nurses may be the frontline medical providers people encounter most frequently, but plenty of others do their part to maintain the well-being of individuals. Among these caregivers are home health aides.

Home health aides, sometimes called personal care aides, assist people with activities of daily life. An

aide typically helps a person who may need assistance with tasks he or she cannot perform due to illness or disability. The aides may work in a person’s home, in a group home, or in another care facility.

AARP says home health aides are considered health care paraprofessionals and must meet established training requirements, which vary by location.

Their duties may include assistance with personal care, such as dressing, toileting, feeding, and moving from a bed to a chair; checking vital signs; monitoring a client; light housekeeping; meal planning and cooking; picking up prescriptions; and providing companionship. Aides typically will not provide skilled nursing care and may not be able to offer recommendations on treat-

ment or medications. Individuals can enlist the services of home health aides who work independently or are placed through agencies. Sometimes a doctor or hospital has connections to aide services and can make referrals. It can be useful to interview several potential aides to find one who will fit with the needs and personality of the person requiring assistance. A good aide is

compassionate, patient, and flexible. As illness or injury also can affect a person’s mood, aides must be able to adjust if a client is reluctant to receive help or is depressed or anxious from his or her limitations.

Home health aides serve an important role in the health care community by providing care and companionship to those who can no longer live independently.

Take to the Water for Improved Health

Exercise provides a number of measurable benefits for people of all ages, including older adults. Swimming is one exercise that may be especially beneficial for seniors. Many people learn to swim in childhood and sharpen that skill as they get older. Although swimming devotees may get in the water for fun rather than fitness, this pastime may be the ideal exercise for seniors looking to improve their overall health, particularly because it is very low-impact.

Because the water provides buoyancy, there is reduced risk of injury and minimal strain on the body. Water exercises, including swimming, work all the muscle groups, so it can be a complete exercise, says American Senior Communities. Swimming also is a great cardiovascular exercise that can strengthen the heart muscle and improve lung function and endurance. Because it lowers blood pressure and improves circulation, swimming is a great way to get the heart pumping.

A gentle, 30-minute swim can burn up to 200 calories, which is more than would be used when walking. A faster swim can burn calories more quickly than running or cycling, and since water supports up to 90% of the body’s weight, this activity will put less stress on muscles and joints while one is exercising.

Individuals with mobility issues or arthritis pain may find that swimming helps relieve discomfort and improves range of motion. The water is doing much of the work holding up the body, which takes the stress off joints, helping a person to feel better while moving.

Even seniors who don’t know how to swim can reap the benefits of water exercise. Walking in shallow water or using a kickboard

prayer partnerships and general feelings of altruism. This year’s Faithful Give will be conducted over three days, from midnight on Sunday, Oct. 19, to midnight on Tuesday, Oct. 21.

Contributors to Faithful Give can donate to a general fund or designate their donations to specific participating causes or nonprofits.

Donations to Faithful Give can be made by credit card, electronic fund transfer or e-check at https:// faithfulgive.org/donate-sponsor.

“Faithful Give exists to support and advocate for faith-based, biblically faithful organizations in Lancaster County,” said Kieffer. “We’re not designed to compete; we’re focused on Faithful Give and what we do. Healthy competition can improve the outcome for all organizations. Generosity begets generosity.”

Faithful Give is also sponsoring two in-person events as part of this year’s initiative.

Faithful Give will informally conclude its efforts with a community celebration event and expo on Oct. 21 from 5 to 8 p.m. at DOVE Westgate Church, 1755 W. Main St., Ephrata. That family-friendly gathering will feature bounce houses, a strolling magician, balloon animals, face painting, nine holes of miniature golf and fellowship.

“One hundred percent of your money goes straight to where you designate it,” said Kieffer.

“We encourage people to give to nonprofits throughout the year. Lancaster County people steward their money well. We’re really trying to expand our definition of generosity. The organizations I get behind most are the ones who have won my heart. It helps me to buy into their mission.”

Faithful Give, which does not maintain a physical office, is

The first is a kickoff prayer breakfast that will be held from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 20, at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 2151 Oregon Pike, Lancaster. Leaders and representatives of some of the charitable causes will be present to meet donors and answer questions.

Link Crew

more conducive for learning. After an application process, a selection process and hours of training, the older students learn leadership skills, patience and communication skills.

It’s a classic win-win scenario.

“In the high school setting, younger students look up to upperclassmen,” said Oly Sponaugle, a senior and a Link Crew leader. “But Link Crew looks at it differently, like we’re one big family. I think younger students look up to older students in a different way.”

“We make it a point to be on the same level,” said Luke Reinking, a senior and another Link Crew leader. “We make sure the younger students know that we’re all friends here. We want their first year to be a good year.”

There are currently 105 juniors and seniors involved as leaders with the Link Crew program at Manheim Township High School (MTHS). Those upperclassmen are broken down into teams of four or five and assigned to groups of about 25 to 27 freshmen.

The leaders spend about an hour every two weeks with their groups of freshmen, engaging in activities, playing games, interacting and getting to know them better. The bonds that are formed spill over into the high school hallways, the cafeteria and even outside of the walls of MTHS.

“I’m a member of the girls’ tennis team, and in the fall, we have freshmen girls coming out for the team,” said Caroline Schuler, a senior and a Link Crew leader. “I build stronger

aiming to raise a total of $2 million for 130 Lancaster County causes like Christian schools, youth and college programs, adult programs, elderly care, human services and overseas organizations headquartered locally. Last year, Faithful Give raised more than $1.568 million from 2,933 donors.

“There are probably a thousand great causes in Lancaster County doing great work,” said Kieffer. “Faithful Give is designed to come alongside nonprofits with a Christian vision or a Christian philosophy of what benefits the community. Our goal isn’t to replace anything else. It’s to help in ways we can and feel called to.”

“The youth will be educated,” continued Kieffer, “the homeless will be cared for, families will find resources they need, the arts will be advanced in a way that will help the community, houses will be built, and early education programs will be supported. Some of these ministries cross over.”

Since its inception in 2023, Faithful Give has raised more than

$2.3 million for local nonprofits.

“I think Lancaster County has a rich heritage of biblically led, faithful-led nonprofits,” said Kieffer. “Faithful Give exists to celebrate and nurture that and protect that mission for the future. Since it was started, it’s grown in number and in quality. It’s also grown in reputation. I think we’ve grown in trust with our donors, and we’ve grown in trust with our causes. We’ve delivered on what we’ve promised.”

relationships with them through Link Crew. It makes me feel like I’m a better person. It makes me feel appreciated.”

“I remember I had a Link Crew member when I was a freshman,” said Matea Daigle, a senior and a Link Crew leader. “She was in the musicals, and she was telling us about herself. It was really cool to have a role model and have someone to connect with. You get to know Link Crew members on a personal level.”

The 2025-26 school year in the MTSD began on Aug. 25.

“When I was a freshman, I felt lost,” said Oly. “It’s a big school, and I was scared I wouldn’t know where to go. But I could go up to my Link Crew leader and ask them where to go. Freshmen can feel isolated. We’re kind of giving freshmen a person to look up to.”

“I love the energy at school,” said Caroline. “It’s a place where all of my friends are. Just being at school is so exciting. Seeing everyone feels so welcoming because we’re all in the same environment.”

The Link Crew program was established at MTSD in 2019. Since then, thousands of students have been directly or indirectly impacted by it.

“It started when one of our stu dents asked to have someone come alongside of them, and it started as a connect club,” said Nicole Eshelman, one of Link Crew’s founding advisers at MTHS. “Link Crew is very energetic; it’s hands-on. I feel like the program has really grown. We put these actions into practice, and we don’t always see the results, but it’s chang ing the community of our school.”

Swimming and additional water activities are great ways for seniors to stay in shape. As always, individuals should speak with their doctors before beginning any exercise regimen to ensure that it is safe.

Event To Focus on Scams

State Rep. Nikki Rivera, in partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, will host a $CAM JAM event from 10 a.m. to noon on Thursday, Oct. 9, at Calvary Homes by Tandem Living, 502 Elizabeth Drive, Lancaster.

Representatives from the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities will lead the interactive event, which will educate attendees on how to safeguard their money from financial fraud and abuse. Attendees will also play Fraud Bingo, with a chance

to win prizes.

Rivera chose to host the event at Calvary Homes by Tandem Living because millions of seniors are targeted each year, resulting in an estimated $3 billion in losses annually, according to the FBI. Seniors are often targeted because they tend to be trusting, have savings, own homes, and have good credit.

Light refreshments will be served. Space is limited, and registration is required by calling Rivera’s office at 717-295-3157 or emailing RepRivera@pahouse .net.
