lake Jacyszyn did not envision a career in education. As he embarks on his first year as a full-time teacher, he cannot imagine doing anything else. Known to students as “Mr. J,” the 2018 Penn Manor High School graduate is a physical education instructor at Central Manor Elementary School. He considered a couple other occupations before ultimately discovering he belonged in a school setting. As a freshman at Temple University, Jac yszyn star ted studying physical therapy because he had suffered a significant shoulder injury during his senior year at Penn Manor, which prevented him from playing basketball and competing on the track and field team. He switched his focus to injury Blake Jacyszyn in his “office” at Central Manor Elementary School. Hours

While not all suicides are preventable, many are. Sometimes the smallest action, the simplest word from a single individual can be the difference between life and death. This year’s theme for the Mental Health America of L ancaster County’s (MHALC) annual suicide prevention conference is the power of one. “We want to believe all suicides R121237

September is a big month for the Conestoga River Girl Scouts. T he or ganiz at ion, w hich includes a total of approximately 250 girls from Penn Manor, Lancaster city, and Hempfield from kindergarten through 12th grade, will hold a recruitment event and a fundraiser. The recruitment event will be held Sunday, Sept. 7, from 1 to 3 p.m. at Strickler Pavilion in Manor Township Community Park, 2670 Charlestown Road, Lancaster. The Conestoga River Girl Scouts are part of the GSHPA, which stands for Girl Scouts Heart of Pennsylvania. “They’re really encouraging service units to do recruitment events to get girls signed up to expose them to girl Scouting,” said Beth Valentin, the events coordinator for the service unit. “We said this year we have capacity, and we would like to do that, so we’re going for it. We don’t always have a service unit-wide recruitment event that any girl can come to. I think we have a little bit more volunteer support for events, and we want to get girls signed up.” Valentin stated that the event is designed to “give girls a taste of what Scouting can be.” There will be s’mores, and girls will be introduced to the tradition known as SWAPS (Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere), where Scouts can make, swap, and collect items. Valentin, who has also served as a troop leader, touts the benefits
