Pequea Valley Math Teacher Earns IU13 Honor

Pequea Valley Secondary (PVS) teacher Kate Stoltzfus was recently named as Secondary Math Teacher of the Year by the Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13 and the Lancaster County STEM Alliance.

Stoltzfus, who teaches Algebra I, Honors Algebra II and AP Statistics, was recognized for her honor at an awards ceremony in May.

“It’s incredibly honoring,” said Stoltzfus, who has been teaching in the district since 2015. “I work very hard, but so do so many around me. I’m just so grateful to work for a district that recognizes their faculty who works hard and supports their staff.”

Stoltzfus was nominated for the award by PVS principal John Trovato, who referred to the teacher as the “Mary Poppins of Math.”

“She strives to reach each kid where they are at, and helps to push them to reach their potential,” Trovato said. “She is a leader in the school, a role model for her colleagues, and a person that has the utmost respect of the entire staff.”

She also serves as the lead facilitator (department chair) for the math team at PVS, as well as serving as a TRIBE leader. Stoltzfus said that she elects to teach Algebra I for two main reasons: to be in-tune with the challenges her colleagues are facing, and to be involved with state testing.

Stoltzfus also runs support groups for some of Pequea Valley’s middle school students, which is an added

CHS to Hold “Saturdays on the Porch”

Event on Fourth of July

It’s an uncharted Saturday for the Christiana Historical Society (CHS).

CHS, which has held a “Saturdays on the Porch” program every first Saturday of the month from April through November since 2024, will hold a special edition of the

program from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, July 4, at the Brinton House, 17 Green St., Christiana, which is the group’s headquarters.

“It’s been around the Fourth of July, but this is the first year that it’s actually on the Fourth of July,” said CHS member Patti Shrom. “So that kind of makes it extra special for us.”

PCA&D Creatively Develops Real People

Before you can teach students, you must first reach them. Pennsylvania College of Art & Design (PCA&D) has the curriculum, the forward thinking and the professors to challenge active minds.

“People often know PCA&D as an art school, but what they may not realize is how deeply connected we are to workforce development, community partnerships and the regional economy,” said PCA&D president Andy Barnes. “Our graduates work across industries because creative thinking is valuable everywhere. Employers increasingly need people who can communicate visually, solve problems collaboratively and think innovatively. We’re also proud to be an active partner in downtown Lancaster. PCA&D contributes to the city’s cultural energy, supports local organizations and creates opportunities for community engagement through exhibitions, events and educational programming.”

PCA&D, which is located at 204 N. Prince St., Lancaster, offers eight undergraduate degree programs, as well as continuing education opportunities and certificates in a wide array of design, art and creative disciplines. This fall, the college will be offering a new degree program in creative writing.

“Education helps people develop not just knowledge, but perspective,” said Barnes. “It teaches us how to think critically, communicate effectively, collaborate with others and

Submitted by Leona Baker for the Historical Society of Salisbury Township

In 1734, James Hughes received a deed to 212 acres of land in the northeastern edge of what later became Salisbury Township. Over time, others discovered the advantages of these broad Welsh Mountain foothills. Many purchased 200-acre tracts to produce abundant sought-after crops. Mills for the goods others produced took advantage of the Pequea Creek. The busy millers had no need to name their village, “I am going to the mill” was enough.

Penn brothers in 1735. By 1851, more than 100 years later, there were still only seven homes neatly lined up along Springville Road. However, farms along Peters Road picked up their mail at the store’s post office.

Hidden among the farm fields is a cemetery used by early settlers. Businesses included a store; a blacksmith shop, and, after 1836, a one-room public school, now closed since 1964.

Joan Lorenz, in her 2002 book “The History of Salisbury Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania”,

mentioned small businesses that then thrived in Springville: Diem’s Motorcycle Shop, a blacksmith and a quilt shop. Today, businesses sprinkle the countryside, all calling Springville their village: a large RV campground, a gourd farm sales venue, an orchard and fruit market, a bake shop and several roadside stands.

By 1743, a small settlement called Mt. Pleasant had been established on what is today known as Churchtown Road, about two miles north of Old Philadelphia Pike (Route 340). No Lancaster County records recognize

further building in the area until 1807. Long before the state mandated schooling for its youth, Mt. Pleasant leaders established a school in 1813. With no records to disagree, it can be posited that this was the second oldest school in Salisbury Township, the first being in Gap.

A mill, a store with a post office inside, and undoubtedly a blacksmith shop would also have been part of the village. Outlying farms would have called the hamlet their “town.” Today roadside stands seem to dominate the business side of this quiet hamlet.

Abraham and Nancy Dierdorf arrived in 1802, with high hopes of building a new county, making a section of their land the county seat, naming it “Cambridge,” after the English university town. When a recession struck in 1818, Dierdorf had to abandon his dream and flee. By mid-19th century, Quakers had taken over. Cambridge had grown enough to support a Quaker Meeting, a Methodist church, a oneroom public school, two stores, a blacksmith and wheelwright, a carpenter, butcher and shoemaker shop. Also, a literary society and a brass band. The old stonewall-enclosed Quaker cemetery is a distinctive landmark on the village’s eastern edges.

By 2002, business was brisk in the deli and the auto-repair shop, and the mill remained active. The Methodist church’s seats were filled most Sundays. Houses nestled on most Cambridge lots, forming a tight and friendly neighborhood. 25 years later the mill is still open, there is a Methodist church nearby and surrounding prosperous farms operate small businesses.

Driving a country road for just a few miles north of Old Philadelphia Pike, one turns a bend at Peters Road … and suddenly comes upon the close-knit village of Springville. This hamlet has grown little since David Cowen bought 311 acres of land from the

Along with this iteration of the program falling on America’s birthday, there are two anniversaries being celebrated this year that give the event extra meaning. This year is the 175th anniversary of the Christiana Resistance, the successful armed escape of four slaves that helped ignite the Civil War. It is also, of course, America’s 250th birthday this year.

The event will feature many of the activities of a typical Saturday on the Porch, including live music, drinks, food and fellowship. Special for this event will be patriotic music provided by the Christiana Singers, an a capella and four-part harmony group that are all alumni members of the LanChester Chorus.

CHS also asks attendees to bring any vintage vehicles they may haveanything that “represents our USA transportation history.” There will also be a special celebration bell for visitors to ring, provided by Glenn and Cindy Kendig, Christiana Freight Station and the National Railway Historical Society.

There will also be free tours of the Resistance museum, and corn hole games will be available.

Drinks, including coffee, iced tea and lemonade; snacks, including homemade baked goods and parfaits; and ice creams provided by Christiana Borough will be available to attendees. The entire event is free of cost; donations are encouraged. Nonperishable food donations are

also welcome to help Christiana in the effort to win the Battle of the Boroughs food drive.

“They’ve all supported us so well,” Shrom said of the local community.

“We’re not selling anything regarding the food or coffee. We normally charge a little bit, but this time we’re going to just waive the costs to make it a celebration day.”

Proceeds from the event will go toward the ongoing restoration of the 1867 Brinton House, which is associated with the Christiana Resistance of 1851.

The Brinton family was also involved in the Underground Railroad, and the house was reportedly a stop on that network.

The outside of the restoration is mostly finished; most of the current work is to stabilize the inside of the building and restore its smokestack.

“We’ve made a lot of progress since the beginning of May,” Shrom said.

“It’s really a nice piece of history for Christiana that the public can view. People pass by it all the time, and it’s kind of like a feature historical reference for us in our town.”

With the extra significance given to the event, CHS is making a particular effort to honor veterans and first responders at this iteration of the Saturdays on the Porch.

“We’re hoping that they’ll come for the morning and just enjoy the time on the porch,” Shrom said of veterans

and first responders. “The main goal of the porch is to gather community together to talk, talk to each other, learn about each other, get to know other people and put away the cell phones and really get more into interactive communications and participation, just how the old-time porches were.”

For more information about the society, upcoming events and the restoration project, visit www .christianahistorical society.com or search for “The Christiana Historical Society” on Facebook. Those with questions may email info@christiana historicalsociety.com.

benefit of the schools being combined into one building ahead of the most recent school year.

TRIBE is an acronym for “Teaching Resiliency to Individuals by Experience.” It is an elective course for PVS students that concludes with either a 50-mile hike down the Appalachian Trail from the Mason-Dixon Line to Harpers Ferry, W. Va., or a trip to Glacier National Park in Montana, depending on the year.

The Mason-Dixon hike is a four-day trip down the trail; students also get trained in first aid and CPR on the expedition. On the Montana trip, a roughly 10-day experience, students volunteer in the gardens and with landscaping, working side-by-side with park rangers.

“It’s great for the kids, because they learn they can do hard things,” Stoltzfus said. “There’s nothing that instills mental grit like this

program does for them, because we hike rain or shine, and we’ve had years where we’ve had incredibly challenging weather.”

Stoltzfus said that she got into teaching because of a female math teacher that she had growing up, one that had her doctorate while instructing in a high school classroom. While earning her bachelor’s degree from Penn State, she began tutoring on the side to start paving her way as an educator.

Following in her inspiration’s footsteps, Stoltzfus

earned her master’s degree in teaching and curriculum back in 2010.

Along with crediting her administration for the honor, Stoltzfus thanked her students for being tremendous to work with. She stated that education is a tough job, but that she’s incredibly thankful to be doing it at Pequea Valley.

“I love the family atmosphere,” she said. “I know it sounds like a soundbite to say that I work for such a supportive administration, but I do, and I just can’t say enough about that.”

Pequea Valley Secondary principal John Trovato delivered remarks about Stoltzfus at an award ceremony held in May.

Resource Sharing App Launched

A new resource called the Lancaster County Food Exchange is available to help food banks, pantries, and community organizations share resources, reduce waste, and get food to families in need. The organization’s purpose is to “make sure no

food goes unused and no family goes hungry.”

Terry Kile had the idea for the food exchange when The Loft Community Partnership in Millersville received an overage of 4,800 clamshells of blueberries. Kile, a local tech entrepreneur, created the Lancaster County Food Exchange mobile web application using coding and some artificial intelligence. Incorporated as Food Exchange Resources in June 2025 and certified as a 501(c)(3) organization by the Internal Revenue Service, the Lancaster County Food Exchange was beta-tested by several food pantry directors and employees prior to its launch on Jan. 15.

The Lancaster County Food Exchange aims to help stretch limited resources further and strengthen collaboration among food assistance providers countywide. The mobile app allows registered food pantry volunteers to list surplus inventory directly

from a smartphone, request needed items from partner organizations across Lancaster County, coordinate pickups and deliveries, and view realtime shared inventory for better planning and distribution. Needs may include food and personal care products. As of May 5, the Lancaster County Food Exchange served 32 local agencies and more than 80 volunteers.

Future plans include expanding partnerships with growers, manufacturers, and distributors; integrating additional features for reporting and logistics; and onboarding more community groups that serve local families.

Initial support organizations included Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, Midwest Food Bank, and Community Action Partnership of Lancaster County (CAP of Lancaster County).

Food Exchange Resources is presently served by a board of directors, including Dana D. Myers, director of charitable giving for Brittany’s Hope; Amanda Frankeny, director of food justice at CAP of Lancaster County; Sandra Valdez, chief human services officer with the Spanish American Civic Organization (SACA); Willeta Calvin, community school director at Bright

Side Opportunities Center; and Janice Reinke, manager of food procurement and distribution at Midwest Food Bank. Additional support has been provided by Jenna Graeff, executive director of The Loft Community Partnership; Cindi Pasi, senior retail donation manager with the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank; and Paige McFarling, executive director at Lancaster County Food Hub. Financial support from three local organizations, including the Lancaster County Community Foundation, allows the food exchange to be offered free of charge to all volunteers.

Organizations and volunteers may join the food exchange by visiting www.lcfe.food and clicking “Sign-Up Here.” For more information, contact Kile at contact@lancastercounty foodexchange.org or 717598-8970, or visit the aforementioned website or www.lancastercountyfood exchange.org.

The building is handicapped-accessible. For more information, call 717442-4302 or email stjohns compass@gmail.com.

St. John’s Episcopal Church at Compass, 1520 W. Kings Highway, Gap, will celebrate the United States’ 250th anniversary with a special Mass on Sunday, July 5, at 10:30 a.m. The Mass will be followed by a birthday party coffee hour.

The staff at PCA&D is made up of 19 full-time faculty members, 76 parttime or adjunct faculty and 36 staff members.

“Our faculty combine technical instruction with mentorship, collaboration and hands-on learning,” said Barnes. “Students learn through studio practice, critiques, real-world projects and interdisci -

plinary experiences. Our faculty are working artists too, so they integrate their real-world experiences into coursework and class discussions. We also emphasize adaptability. Creative careers continue to evolve rapidly, so students need to know how to learn, pivot and apply their skills in different environments. Faculty work closely with students to help them develop both creative confidence and professional readiness.”

PCA&D was established in 1982. Over the past 44 years, the institution has added more academic offerings, developed community partnerships and participated in and promoted public events. For additional information, go to www.pcad.edu.
