United Way Day of Caring

I had the pleasure of spending some time at McCullough Elementary School this week while the United Way day of caring was taking place.  Employees from Excela Health were at the school working on the landscape of the playground.  I also learned about all of the hard work that went into building the playground.  What a great story and a wonderful result for our children.  The work that Mr. Mickey did to find grants for the playground and the assistance that the school district gets from the PTO and other outside organizations to maintain the playground is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of Mr. Mickey.  Thank you to the United Way and to everyone who has helped with the project over the years.  I received this email from Mr. Mickey and I want to share it with you:

“On Wednesday, September 14th McCullough Elementary hosted a United Way Day of Caring at McCullough’s Boundless Playground.  Excela Health’s administrative staff volunteered the time to landscape and do general maintenance at the facility.  I personally would like to thank Denise Addis, Carol Fox, Marcia Cook, and Scott Koscho from Excela Health for their work at McCullough’s Boundless Playground.  The playground looks great and their effort made a difference for the students.  

This is truly a team effort between The United Way of Westmorland County, business, McCullough’s PTO and the teachers at McCullough Elementary.  I would like to extend a special thanks to Cyndi Phillips at the United Way of Westmoreland County for her continued support of our students and the Penn Trafford community”

The more I learn about the community and schools of Penn-Trafford, the more I know the decision our family made to move here was the right one.
