🍁 Harvest Feast Happiness! 🦃
Our District Office friends enjoyed yesterday’s Harvest Feast lunch thanks to The Nutrition Group — and it was delicious! Students and staff were able to purchase this yummy Thanksgiving-style meal, and let’s just say… we were all very thankful not to have to cook it ourselves! 😄
A huge shout-out to The Nutrition Group for bringing the flavors of the season right to our cafeteria. 🍽️

🚀 Ninth Grade Students Explore Local Careers Through Berks Business Tours
On Thursday, our ninth-grade class took part in the Berks Business Education Coalition’s annual Business Tours—a key experience within the Freshman Leadership Network program.
The Berks Business Education Coalition (BBEC) works to build strong partnerships between local businesses and schools, helping students explore career pathways and develop leadership skills that prepare them for life after graduation. Through programs like the Business Tours, BBEC connects students with real-world learning opportunities and the many industries that drive our region.
Students began the day with an opening session led by a local business representative before traveling to their assigned tour site. Each group visited one of the following Berks County businesses for a behind-the-scenes look at daily operations and career opportunities:
🔹 Cambridge Lee Industries
🔹 East Penn Manufacturing
🔹 Electro-Space Fabricators
🔹 Classic Harley-Davidson
🔹 New Castle Lawn & Landscape
🔹 Muhlenberg Greene Architects
This hands-on experience allowed students to see potential careers in action and learn directly from professionals across a variety of industries.
📸 Included are photos of our students touring Classic Harley-Davidson.
We’re grateful to BBEC and all participating businesses for opening their doors and helping our students explore their futures!

We continue to highlight the meaningful ways our High School Life Skills students gain hands-on experience through community partnerships.
Once a week, students visit Keystone Villa to support their dining services—clearing and wiping down tables after lunch and resetting them for dinner.
These tasks may seem simple, but they build essential skills—responsibility, communication, attention to detail, and the confidence that comes from being part of a team. 💙✨
We’re proud of the growth we see each week and the positive connections our students are forming across Blazer Nation!
