I was moved & inspired by the courage of these college students to discuss their experiences during a Senate Education Committee Hearing on antisemitism on Pennsylvania college campuses yesterday in Harrisburg. My thanks to Mackenzie, Alon and Benjamin for sharing their stories.
One key takeaway from their testimony - leadership matters. University/College presidents must proactively take steps to protect students and hold both their staff and students accountable.
In honor of National Intern Day, I’d like to thank our intern, Isaac Good, for all the hard work he’s done for us this summer! A graduate of Mount Calvary Christian School in Etown, Isaac is now a student at Grove City College.
We love having Isaac as part of the team!
Students from Schaeffer Elementary School in @manheimtownshipsd toured our gorgeous State Capitol building to learn more about the history, architecture, and purpose behind this national historic landmark.
Happy belated 100th birthday to Elizabethtown resident Jack Crow! Born in Hollywood, CA, in 1924, Jack is the beloved husband of Margaret Crow and the proud father of 3 children. He has also been blessed with 7 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. To his great credit, Mr. Crow served this country with honor and distinction as a member of the United States Army from 1943 to 1946.
@pasenategop is proud to welcome Ephrata resident Austin Thompson as an intern in the Computer Services Department this summer!
Grateful for the opportunity to discuss recently enacted legislation to support schools who wish to free our kids from smartphones & social media during the school day with @JoelDReports on @CBS21NEWS Face the State. Thanks for elevating this critically important issue!
It was a pleasure to host Manheim Central HS junior, Laci Nelson, and her family at the PA Capitol last month. Laci won 1st place in the Class AAA Girls’ Shot Put event at the 2024 PIAA State Track & Field Championships with a throw of 40 feet, 2.50 inches. Congratulations, Laci!
It was great to see so many children unplugged from digital devices, outside, enjoying nature, and learning about agriculture this week at Heritage Creek Farm Camp!
I don’t often rock out, but when I do, I rock out at Rob’s Rock School in Lititz! It was a pleasure to visit with Rob Reese and his team earlier this week.
A new parent group has recently organized in the Warwick area to advocate for smartphone free schools in the Warwick SD. I spoke with the leadership team of this group earlier this evening.
The PA Senate honored @lcatholic junior, Margaret Bila, for earning the gold at the PIAA Track and Field Championships. Not only did Margaret win, but she also hit a new PR on each of her 3 consecutive discus attempts, ultimately securing the Class 2A gold. Congratulations, Margaret!
