Zephyr Elementary’s Love of Literature Night will be held 5:30-7:30 p.m. Feb. 26.

Ms. Muenker and Mrs. Stroup will guide families through a series of reading strategies. The first 50 families to join them for the reading strategy workshop will win a free copy of “Superfudge” by Judy Blume. “Superfudge” is the latest novel all Zephyr students read together with faculty Mondays and Fridays at the end of the day.

During the workshop, families can expect to learn a few helpful strategies that can be put to use right away at home.

In addition, a book fair, hosted by Whitehall-Coplay PTO PLUS, will be available in the cafeteria 5:30-6:30 p.m. and 6:15-7:30 p.m. in the library.

WHS Student Council is excited to host its own Minithon, a fun-filled event that combines dancing, activities and community spirit to raise funds for the Four Diamonds organization!

Four Diamonds supports children battling cancer and provides crucial funding for research, treatment and family support through Penn State Children’s Hospital.

This exciting event, taking place Feb. 28, is a mini version of the larger Penn State Thon, and it’s an opportunity for students to come together, have fun and make a difference in the lives of families affected by pediatric cancer.
