LS Curls Up With a Warm, Furry H
o
liday Story
Loganville-Springfield Elementary students welcomed a special guest this week with a heartwarming message to take home for the holidays.
York County resident M.J. McCluskey, MBA, has been storytelling since she was a child, with a lifelong dream to write children's books. Her first published book,
Grace Comes at Christmas: Gracia Viene en la Navidad, is written in both English and Spanish telling the story of a lost, lonely kitten in search of a name, a family, and a warm home.
McClusky also talked to the 2nd and 3rd grade students about exploring their own career pathway as an author.

HS Student Blood Drive
Blood is the most precious gift that anyone could gi
ve
an
other person--a gift of life.
Donating blood can save more than just a single life when it is separated into its components: red
cells, pla
telets, and plasma, which can
be used by up to
three patients with
specific conditions.
On Thursday, December 20th, a student blood drive will be held at Dallastown Area High School. Coordinated by high school seniors Ashleigh Brady and Vignya Dontu, along with Anatomy & Physiology teacher Tad Gould, the drive will be administered by the Central Penn Blood Bank. Be a donor and help the high school students reach their goal of 100 donated units.
For additional information, access: I Want to Donate Blood

A Season of Giving
In addition to the 2018 Remember the Troops drive, students and staff throughout Dallastown Area School District have been engaged in numerous activities in support of local charitable organizations during the holiday season. We thank the school community for its support of those in need.

New Year, New Menu
T
he new Student Choice program is another in a variety of ways that Dallastown Area School District and its food service partner, Chartwells K-12, are reimagining the school dining experience.
Using new technology,
Student Choice gives students the opportunity to taste and vote on a variety of new menu items and concepts that will be introduced in the cafeteria the following month. Dallastown is one of 150 schools across the country introducing Chartwells K-12's Student Choice program this fall.
Recently, Chartwells offered students three sandwiches from its
Made to Melt Concept, Tuna Melt on Toasted Bread, a Pork Canitas Torta, which was on Flatbread, and a Chicken Parmesan on a Ciabatta Roll. More than 600 students sampled the sandwiches with Chicken Parmesan narrowly beating out the Tuna Melt. Both items will be featured on the January menu.
