Girls Can Do!

Kathy Allen and Rebecca Flanagan were role models for the Girls Can Do! project on Oct 29. The project offers 9th grade girls hands-on workshops taught by successful women who are working in math, science, technology, and the skilled trades. The purpose of the conference is to provide support and encouragement to girls interested in nontraditional courses and careers.

Kathy Allen covered surveying, delineating watersheds and water cycle in her sessions.

For the Good of the People Fun Facts about Farmers and Ranchers

A new student educational publication, PA-1936 For the Good of the People, is intended for use by elementary school-aged youth to inform them about the need to have a good conservation ethic. The publication describes a good conservation ethic and tells the story of America's farmers and ranchers, and illustrates the importance of agricultural products in our lives.
