Support for the Hill Family
Samantha Hill, a third grade student at Cumru Elementary, was recently injured by a falling tree limb. Since that time, she has been a patient in the Hershey Medical Center. A recent prognosis revealed that she may need to remain at Hershey for up to two years.
In support of the Hill Family, senior high business club, Dynamic Deliveries, will coordinate letters from Santa for your child or grandchild. If you know a child who has written a letter to Santa, please submit it, along with the downloadable Santa Questionnaire and a minimum $1 donation, to: Dynamic Deliveries, Attn: Mrs. Kathy Sherry, 10 S. Waverly St., Shillington, PA 19607. All letters, questionnaires and donations must be received no later than Tuesday, December 9, 2008. Letters from Santa will be available for PICK UP in the senior high main office on December 17, 18 and 19, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Tip Line Established as New Method of Communication
The Governor Mifflin School District recently implemented a telephone TIP LINE, a new method of communication for district residents, students' parents and students who may have information or concerns of a sensitive matter.
The TIP LINE IS designed to be used as a communication tool, providing information pertaining to school safety issues. Examples of information that you may wish to provide through the GM TIP LINE may include:
1. Concerns regarding district facility safety.
2. Concerns regarding school bus transportation issues.
3. Concerns regarding "bullying" within our school setting.
4. Concerns regarding student safety issues both during the school day and after school hours.
5. "Tips" concerning activities that may disrupt the school or learning environment.
6. "Tips" concerning possible criminal activity affecting members of our school family including, staff and students.
This program will be evaluated throughout this school year. Mr. Kevin Smith, GM Director of Safe Schools, is hopeful that the TIP LINE will prove to be a successful tool. If you have information or a concern you feel is appropriate to be communicated to the District you can now contact Mr. Smith directly at 610-775-5089 ext. 6762 or choose to leave an anonymous tip on the TIP LINE. The new Governor Mifflin TIP LINE phone number is 610-603-2232.
