Keeping things cool for the Summer, we recently invited Andrew from Susquehannock Wildlife Society to drop by school and talk with everyone in our adult program. You see, Andrew knows a lot about animals and he even brought some slithery friends with him!
Over the course of a couple hours, our adults and staff learned a lot about lizards, snakes, and turtles. While not everyone wanted to hold the animals, we had a bunch of individuals who did (a few even surprised us with their courage)!
We would like to thank Andrew and the Susquehannock Wildlife Society for sharing their knowledge with us. If you would like to see the rest of the photos,

The Courage of Cruz
Through the tremendous amount of support we receive, John Paul II Center has been able to help students and adults reach for their goals, conquer fears, learn new skills, and give back to others. Sometimes, to overcome a challenge, all our individuals need is a guiding hand and the rest they are able to find within themselves.
It should come as no surprise that Cruz is, once again, raising money to go Over the Edge, and ultimately, help those that find comfort and nourishment at Bethany Children’s Home.

Not only does it save time (and checks!), but by the end of the year, you can rest assured that your tax-deductible donation is being put to good use on things like school supplies, fuel for vans, and lunch (fuel for sharp minds)!
To setup your monthly recurring donation, click below and then select the option for "recurring donation". We thank you for your continued support!

Our Garden is Flourishing
With the help of some students and adults (and Priscilla, of course), our garden is flourishing! The garden features herbs for pizza, peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, pumpkins, watermelon, eggplant, potatoes, and more. It's deliciously healthy!
