Two PV Runners Headed to Kutztown University

It’s just a matter of chance that recent Pequea Valley graduates Jonah Zink and Aubrey Ressler are both headed to Kutztown University.

Both chose the school for completely different reasons but will continue to run together on the Golden Bears’ cross-country and track teams at the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) NCAA Division II school.

Zink, who plans to study education, also toured PSAC schools like Millersville and West Chester, but he fell in love with Kutztown’s small-town, very Pequea Valley-like feel.

“I’m not much of a city person, and Millersville and West Chester very much fit that description,” Zink said. “Kutztown is very by the farmland; it’s very open. It’s a block on either side of Main Street, and then it’s farmland from there. I really do appreciate that.”

Ressler, on the other hand, knew she wanted to study something involving sports. She initially thought that sports medicine might be right for her, but she decided that sports management is a better path.

July Is Disability Pride Month

More than one in four U.S. adults have a disability. That is why July is Disability Pride Month.

While it is not a nationally recognized event, Disability Pride parades and events have been recognized since 1990, commemorating the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), signed into law by President George H.W. Bush on July 26 of the same year.

At Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development’s Circle of Friends

Academy, inclusivity is at the forefront.

At the academy, an early-learning child care center, children with disabilities are not separated from neurotypical kids, something that Penn Manor School District resident Maria Steele loves. Steele, who is a parent to two children at the academy, also works as a speech-language pathologist at Schreiber. Her mother also worked at Schreiber, and Steele herself attended preschool there.

“It’s a really cool experience to be

LCCTF Invests in Students’ Futures

Some would have you believe that money makes the world go ’round. The Lancaster County Career & Technology Foundation (LCCTF) is of the opinion that young people need money - or scholarships and grants - to make money.

“Scholarships and workforce grants are investments in students’ futures,” said Jennifer Baker, who’s been the executive director of LCCTF for seven years. “They help students complete their education, enter the workforce with valuable skills and credentials, and pursue careers that offer long-term stability, growth and opportunity. Scholarships and workforce grants help remove financial barriers so students can access education, training, equipment and certifications needed to prepare for successful careers in high-demand fields.”

Recently, LCCTF distributed a total of $87,000 - $46,500 in workplace grants and $40,500 in scholarships - to nearly 70 adult students and recently graduated high school students from almost every public school district in Lancaster County. The $87,000 total represented the most that LCCTF has ever awarded in its 23 years of blessing students. Scholarships are applied to costs related to continuing education. Workforce grants are used for uniforms, tools and testing fees for individuals beginning careers.

At the end of the school year’s third marking period in March, the application process, which included written essays,

financial information and grades, was opened to students. The applications were reviewed by school counselors and program directors, and their recommendations were passed along to the LCCTF.

A majority of LCCTF’s workplace grants and scholarships are funded through the organization’s Fly on the Run fundraiser, which features a banquet and a fly-fishing tournament at Millport Conservancy in Warwick Township. Other awards are funded through private donors.

This year, LCCTF raised more than $140,000 in support of students and education programs.

“These scholarships and workforce grants have a transformative impact on students’ lives,” said Baker. “These awards not only help students overcome financial barriers but also empower them to pursue rewarding careers and achieve their full potential. As Lancaster County continues to face a growing demand for skilled workers, these students represent the next generation of talent entering critical industries and strengthening our local workforce pipeline.

“It’s the generosity of the donors whose investments make these opportunities possible,” continued Baker.

“Through scholarships and workforce grants, the foundation fulfills its mission of supporting career and technical education that will benefit Lancaster

County for years to come.”

Since its inception in 2003, LCCTF has raised over $7 million toward its mission of supporting the Lancaster County Career and Technology Center (LCCTC), which operates four campuses in the county. There were 1,784 adult students enrolled in LCCTC programs during the 2025-26 school year, and LCCTC’s high school enrollment for 2026-27 is expected to exceed 1,650 students from every public school district in Lancaster County.

“Beyond these scholarships and grants, the LCCTF supports the LCCTC by awarding teacher innovation grants for new program equipment, supporting student assistance programs and providing for the workforce talent initiative - a program that recruits, educates and places adult students into high demand, skilled advanced manufacturing and transportation jobs like CDL and welding,” said Baker.

LCCTC Students

Compete at National Event

Three students from Lancaster County Career and Technology Center (LCCTC) recently traveled to Atlanta, Ga., to compete at the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference. The event took place from June 1 to 5.

Carly Hoffman placed first in the Dental Assisting - Secondary competition, and Ashton Gonzalez placed first in the Dental Assisting - Postsecondary

competition. Both are students in the Dental Assistant program at LCCTC’s Willow Street campus. Hoffman is from Elizabethtown Area School District.

In addition, Alyssa Nessinger participated in the Advertising Design competition, placing 13th. Nessinger is from Cocalico School District and is enrolled in the Commercial Art program at LCCTC’s Brownstown campus.

Triathlon Has Become Health, Fitness Day in Lititz

The Lititz recCenter looks at life through the wide lens. The Lititz recCenter is in it for the long haul. The Lititz recCenter goes the distance.

Of all the events that it sponsors, few epitomize the Lititz recCenter’s mission in quite the same way that its annual triathlon does.

“You don’t have to be really fit to do it,” said Simon Ababou, Lititz recCenter’s fitness director, who founded the triathlon in 2015. “Our triathlon is good for beginners. You just have to practice a little bit and take your time.”

The Lititz recCenter’s annual triathlon is approaching. This year’s version of the unique community event will be contested from the recCenter’s headquarters at 301 Maple St., Lititz, at 8 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 9 - with one

notable supplementation.

In addition to the swimbike-run triathlon, the event will also feature a new bike-run competition for athletes not necessarily interested in swimming. Pre-event registration for both races can be completed at https://lititzrec .com. Registration will also be available in-person on the day of the race, between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m.

Prizes will be awarded to the top overall female and male finishers, and medals will be earned by the top three male and female finishers in nine age categories, from under 20 to over 70. Snacks, ice towels and goodie bags will be provided for the contestants.

“The feel is really, really community,” said Ababou. “The energy level is high. Everybody has come to this cool town, and you see

At Stevens & Smith Center, History Teaches Important Lessons

In the area of equal rights, our country has made great strides. But the process continues; there is still much work to be done.

The brand-new Stevens & Smith Center sheds a wider, more colorful light on the issues of equality.

“The center explores the ongoing struggle to expand freedom, equality and democracy in America,” said Jason Traverse, the

director of marketing and communications for the Stevens & Smith Center.

“Through the stories of Stevens, Smith and countless others, visitors are invited to consider how ordinary and extraordinary people alike have worked to advance these ideals, and how that work continues in America today.

“What makes the center special is that it doesn’t

simply present history as something that happened long ago,” continued Traverse. “It asks visitors to consider how the questions that defined Stevens’ and Smith’s lives - questions about citizenship, equality, justice and democracycontinue to shape our lives today.”

Recently, the Thaddeus Stevens & Lydia Hamilton

United Way Awards Scholarships

United Way of Lancaster County recently awarded more than $102,875 in Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Pre-K Scholarships. The scholarships are intended to help children and families across Lancaster County. Through Pennsylvania’s EITC program, eligible businesses receive tax credits for contributions made to qualified organizations like United Way of Lancaster County. The contributions to United Way are then transformed

into scholarships for families experiencing financial hardship, helping children to access early learning programs. By increasing access to these opportunities, United Way hopes to strengthen both family stability and long-term community well-being.

Scholarship funding was distributed to the following early childhood education providers throughout Lancaster County: Diamond Street Early Childhood Center,

more than $40,559; Elizabethtown Child Care Center, more than $21,806; Elizabethtown Community Nursery School, more than $3,891; Lititz Christian Early Learning Center, $8,550; Little People Day Care School of Columbia, $3,300; Luthercare for Kids, more than $6,093; Tomorrow’s World Early Learning Center, $3,375; U-GRO Learning Centres, $2,250; and Uni-Vision Childcare in Lancaster, $13,050.

able to watch the neurotypical kids interact with these kids with disabilities,” said Steele. “My oldest daughter, who’s in the preschool class, they’re her friends. She doesn’t see them as any different because she’s so exposed.”

Stephanie and Nate, of Lancaster, parent 2-yearold Maverick at the academy. Maverick, an autistic child, receives speech therapy services at Schreiber.

“I wanted him somewhere that would have atypical children and neurotypical children,” Stephanie said. “I really, really like that they have mixed classrooms.”

Both families expressed how important early exposure and familiarity is to inclusivity later in life, especially when children get into grade school.

“I think it’s good for him,” Nate said. “Schreiber’s has been really good with (Maverick). ... Him being around other kiddos is really bringing out more and more stuff that we wouldn’t see from him going to the other day care he went to before that.”

The Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development was founded in 1936 in response to the polio epidemic. Now serving over 2,000 children every year, the center is the region’s only pediatric provider that offers a continuum of care under one roof, according to its website.

“We have speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy,” said Lexi Cahill, the center’s marketing and communications manager. “Those kids range from children with physical disabilities to kids that come in with acquired injuries - maybe they’ve been in a car accident or something similar.”

Last year, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro issued a proclamation recognizing Disability Pride Month in July. Disability pride parades are held annually in both Philadelphia and Pittsburgh during the month of July.

There is a disability pride flag, created by Ann Magill, a writer with cerebral palsy.

“Schreiber’s has done wonders with (Maverick),” Stephanie said. “We’re very, very thankful that I put him on the waitlist to go to the school, and I love that he’s with all types of kids.”

For more information about the Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development, visit www.schreiber pediatric.org or call 717393-0425. The center, a nonprofit organization, is located at 625 Community Way, Lancaster, in East Hempfield Township.

The Circle of Friends Academy enrolls kids from six weeks up to five years, many of which are developing children with disabilities. The academy has three classrooms, an infant classroom (six weeks to two years), a toddler classroom (two years to three years) and a preschool classroom (three years to five years). It is a full day care program with therapy services as needed.

The preschool room is one of three classrooms at the Circle of Friends Academy.
Lydia (pictured), a 1-yearold child, attends the Circle of Friends Academy alongside her older sister, Naomi.

Smith Center for History and Democracy opened its doors at 13-15 E. Vine St., Lancaster, to visitors. The new museum, which is located on the site of Stevens’ home and law offices, is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Stevens & Smith Center is associated with and a part of LancasterHistory.

“The project has been many years in the making - more than a decade,” said Traverse. “It grew from painstaking research, preservation efforts, archaeological discovers and a growing recognition that Lancaster - and this historic landmark in particular - played an important role in some of the most consequential chapters of American history. The center represents a communitywide commitment to preserving and sharing that history

for future generations.”

Housed in a multistory building, the Stevens & Smith Center tells its tales through exhibition galleries, original artifacts, educational programs and immersive experiences. Visitors connect local history to national history through stories about the Underground Railroad, the Civil War, Reconstruction and the Christiana Resistance.

“Many people are surprised to learn that some of the most important stories in the fight against slavery and for equal rights happened right here in Lancaster,” said Traverse. “We want visitors to understand that Lancaster’s history is not a footnote to the American story - it is American history. Lancaster County’s history is remarkably deep and diverse. Lancaster has long been a crossroads of people, ideas and movements that

helped shape the nation.”

An influential statesman from Lancaster County during the 1800s, Stevens actively assisted individuals in search of freedom through the Underground Railroad, and many of his ideals helped form national laws. Steven’s longtime confidante, Smith was a successful businessperson and property owner who shared Stevens’ home.

“History helps us understand how we arrived at the present moment,” said Traverse. “It gives us perspective, context and a deeper understanding of the choices individuals and communities have made.

Preserving history allows us to learn from the past while inspiring future generations to engage thoughtfully with the challenges of their own time.”

“I’m super excited for it,” she said about Kutztown. “I visited a couple places my senior year, and Kutztown just felt like the right fit.”

Ressler made her decision in the winter, which led Zink to look into a school that he had initially overlooked.

“I was like, ‘What’s Aubrey seeing that I haven’t looked into yet?’” he said. “I’m definitely excited to have someone to grow connections with already going in there.”

Zink said that he is not sure what subject he wants to teach yet but that he will likely settle on science or math. Ressler is also open

to some different possibilities with her prospective sports management degree but is initially thinking about becoming an athletic director.

Unlike most schools in the area, Pequea Valley does not have a school-sponsored track and field team. The Braves have gone through different cycles in recent years, including a track co-op with Lancaster Mennonite for a few years, but elected to operate as an independent team this year.

Operating as an independent team allows Pequea Valley’s athletes to compete in Lancaster-Lebanon

League, PIAA District III and PIAA State Championships, but the students lack the recognition or funding of varsity athletes.

the girls to be district champions, so what he could do with a track team is immeasurable.”

The team was sponsored by Rittenhouse Builders, E&E Commercial Contractors, Kauffman Kitchens, Walter & Jackson Lumber and the Little Braves Running Club this season. The team practiced at Lancaster Mennonite a few days a week and was gifted some equipment from both Manheim Township and Coatesville.

Both runners have been trailblazers for what they hope is a school-sponsored program in the near future. Both would love to see the school add a track on its campus but acknowledged the lack of room for a traditional setup around the football field.

Zink highlighted how the school’s cross-country program was only started five years ago and has already won a District 3 championship.

“I think we’ve definitely laid the groundwork,” Zink said. “Coach (Keith) Andrew already brought

Zink, who also participates in school choir and band, started running in his sophomore year after recovering from a stroke he suffered in eighth grade. This spring, he placed third in the Class 2A 800-meter run (1:55.18) at the state meet at Shippensburg in May, 12 spots higher than he was seeded. It was his first state medal in his final attempt.

Ressler placed 16th at the District 3 Class 2A cross-country meet last fall. Both gave a shoutout to rising Pequea Valley sophomore Reagan Gates, who won the district 2A meet in cross-country before placing seventh at the PIAA event. She also medaled in the 1600m and 3200m run at the PIAA track meet.

“She’s doing incredible stuff,” Zink said. “I think she’s going to have more heads turning towards the program, and she’s going to be the face of it going forward. She will show what this program can be.”

people going to businesses downtown. It’s about bringing people together. We want people to enjoy healthy lifestyles.”

Spectators are welcome, and a food truck will be parked on-site. The Lititz recCenter’s Triathlon is being supported by 15 sponsors.

“We always hear nice comments from the participants,” said Ababou. “They appreciate how much work we put into it. It’s well organized. The roads are well marked. I think it’s the best in the county, period.”

Competitors will navigate 300 meters of swimming, 15.8 miles of biking and 3.1 miles of running. The Lititz recCenter’s outdoor pool will provide the swim venue, scenic backroads between Lititz and Manheim will serve as the cycling course and historic downtown Lititz will serve as the setting for running.

“If you put some practice into it, it’s good,” said Ababou. “It’s also good to be familiar with the course, but you won’t get lost.”

Nearly 300 contestants, mostly from Lancaster County and from surrounding communities like York and Harrisburg, but also from as far away as Maryland, New Jersey and New York, are expected to compete.

In addition to its role as a fitness and health promoter, the event also

serves as a fundraiser for the Lititz recCenter. Organizers are hoping to raise $30,000 from the triathlon and bike-run.

The proceeds will be used to finance programs at Lititz recCenter, particularly youth programs.

A combination of 40 staff members and volunteers is required to efficiently stage the event.

The Lititz recCenter welcomed 119 competitors when Ababou initially established the event 11 years ago.

“I said, ‘Lancaster County needs a triathlon,’” said Ababou. “We were just learning at first, but it went fine. The number of participants and the number of sponsors has grown; there’s more interest in it.”

Overseen by a board of directors, the Lititz recCenter, which takes a holistic approach to wellness, conducts activities and classes like yoga, Pilates, strengthening, sports programs and child care.

“(The triathlon and bike-run) fits with what we do at the recCenter,” said Ababou. “We have different programs for every age, from babies to seniors. The recCenter is a great, great organization with great leaders, great staff and great members. I think the organization is growing, but it’s all about the community.”
