Over the past seven decades, Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc. (EPC) has grown from one couple producing one paper to a company that employs 150 people, distributes 16 community newspapers and multiple specialty publications to close to 200,000 people, and provides printing services for numerous clients. Although the scope of the business has changed, one thing has remained constant: community.
On Thursday, April 4, Pequea Valley School District (PVSD) has planned an opportunity for students to exercise their creativity. The third annual STEAM Flight Night will be held at Paradise Elementary School, 20 Belmont Road, Paradise, from 6 to 8 p.m. The public is invited. The STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) event will give visitors the opportunity to experience firsthand how students learn about those subjects in PVSD.
