WHERE: Walnut Creek Middle School, 5901 Sterrettania Road

Mr. Thomas A. Del Fratte, Supervisor of Information Services
Bullying has been around for as long as inflated egos and heartless personalities. However, thanks to the Internet and a myriad of other digital media, bullies can now step outside of the school yard and right into your home and your child’s life. Online harassment, often called Cyber Bullying, has become a serious problem through a boundless and cruel arena. This presentation will focus on awareness, solutions, and resources in identifying and dealing with Cyber Bullying among teenage adolescents.

Pat Kennedy, Assistant District Attorney
Assistant District Attorney Kennedy will discuss the differences between the juvenile and adult justice systems. The presentation will further present the philosophy of juvenile justice and the role it plays in a juvenile’s overall well-being. Further, ADA Kennedy will address what educators and parents can do to assist both victim and offender.

There will be two 45-minute sessions with a question and answer session at the end.

Dear Millcreek Community Member:

The Millcreek Township Board of School Directors invites all residents of the Millcreek Township School District to attend a series of community meetings at the J.S.

Dates: October 1, 9, and 16

Times: 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The board has chosen three finalists for the position, and one candidate will be interviewed each evening. After the candidate makes opening remarks, community members will have the opportunity to ask questions for approximately one hour. Community members will also have the opportunity to fill out comment cards that will be provided at the event. The board will see all the comments shortly after the conclusion of the interviews.

The Millcreek Township School Board of Directors values input from the community and strongly encourages everyone to attend.

Presque Isle Rotary Club is graciously donating a personal dictionary to each 3^rd Grade student in Millcreek and Fairview.  David Mosier, a member of the club, will be distributing the dictionaries at Tracy School.  The comprehensive dictionary contains: weights and measures, The Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, maps of the seven continents, information about the 50 states, biographies of the U.S. presidents, and facts about the planets in the solar system.
