Skyview held its second annual Community Service Day presenting five local charities with donations.
Dec. 21 was a special day for students at Skyview Upper Elementary, as they celebrated the school’s second-annual Community Service Day. “It’s structured to give back, and to learn something about the charities,” Melissa Gorla, Skyview Upper Elementary School principal, said. According to Gorla, teams of Skyview students choose local charities to support by collecting items they needed. In return, the charities stop by the school on Community Service Day, not only to receive the items, but also to share a little bit about what they do in a fun-filled and casual setting. This year, the students supported the following charities: According to fifth grade teacher Nan Davis, there are over 800 students at Skyview. She said each student has …

For the second year, the Westmont volunteer team of the Southeastern Pennsylvania American Red Cross visited local mobile park homes to ensure fire safety.
On the early morning of Dec. 15, white plastic bags with little red crosses could be seen fluttering on the mailbox posts throughout the Valley Forge Crossing mobile park community. Each bag contained emergency preparedness and fire safety literature specific to manufactured homes, and were distributed by volunteer members of the Westmont Team of the South Eastern Pennsylvania (SEPA) Red Cross. “There’s a lot of wonderful people that volunteer with the Red Cross,” Ed Kershner, a volunteer lead responder with the Westmont team, said. Kershner started volunteering with the Red Cross since 2005, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. As an Audubon resident, Kershner has since joined one of the many individual volunteer Disaster Action Teams (…

Don't wait for thunder to bring in outdoor items
In the wake of the severe thunderstorm watch issued Wednesday by the National Weather Service, the American Red Cross of Southeastern Pennsylvania offered some sound advice on its Twitter feed. Some of it you've been hearing since you were in elementary school: for example, if you are stuck outside, avoid high ground, water, tall trees, and metal objects. Other tips, however, might not occur to everyone. "Bring items in from outside NOW that could blow away during a storm," the agency said. Waiting until you see the sky darken and hear thunder rumbling can place you at risk for being struck by lightning. The agency also asked people to evacuate mobile homes that can blow over in high winds and to stay indoors for at least 30 minutes after …
