Fun Fact For The Week: Some old firehouses have circular stairways because the engines were at one time pulled by horses. The horses were stabled on the ground floor, and figured out how to walk up a straight staircase.
Thought For The Week: If you dream that you’re exercising, does it count? I’m going to say yes.
The East Lycoming School District continues to get rave reviews because of the green projects in the district. The leader and shining star at ELSD for green is none other than our own Dave Maciejewski. Dave began this journey for East Lycoming, and he continually provides leadership and direction. He has involved community, faculty and our students to the benefit of all. Congratulations to Dave on his accomplishments. We look forward to his leadership as a “green machine” for many years to come!
