The plaque reads, “Unsung Heroine. 1991, Ruth Jackson, Children and Youth Advocate in Central Pennsylvania. In apprecia tion of the contributions you have made to improve the quality of our community, and in recognition of your respect for each individual, the International Women’s Day Coalition of Harrisburg offers you the Unsung Heroine Award with our deepest gratitude.” Ruth Jackson, home economics teacher at John Harris High School, Harrisburg, has been an advocate for children both on the job and in the community. The honor of unsung heroine, recently bestowed on her is a token of ap preciation by her peers through NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo ple) peers who nominated Ruth for this prestigious award. In 1979, Ruth began a program titled “Deb-etts” which is open to girls from ages three to 16 years of age. “The purpose is to prepare young ladies for adulthood.” At DEUTZ ALLIS Naw Tripoli, Pa. 215-767-7811 Olay, Pa. 215-987-8257 age 16 they make their debut as young ladies. Between those years, the emphasis is placed on building positive self-esteem and leadership skills. Leadership is built with the older girls helping with the leadership role. Being concerned with the image of African-Americans’ skills lying in athletics only and not scholas tics, Ruth joined forces with NAACP to begin a “mind Olym pics.” ACTLSO (Academic, Cul ture, Technical, Logical. Science, Olympics) philosophy is to go for the goal with your mind use brain power. Students compete in brain Olympics at the local level with the winners advancing to Texas for the national competition as part of the Conference on Black Basic Education. Winers receive medals just like athletes do in their Olympic competition. Newly organized is Ayudamos, which is Spanish for “we help.” It is comprised of members from all class levels, providing they have good grades, interests that fit the mission and their behavior is up standing. Ruth’s desire to help teen par ents is also a vital part of her award. She has built a program at John Harris High School to give teen moms life skills, including parenting, decision-making, and 3 Sizes Available... 16’, 18’, 20’ with or without running gear • Also will fit sides onto your flat wagon r snuTZFiis woodwork Rt. 897 North - Gap, PA 17527 717-442-8972 CHELATION THERAPY THIS MAY BE YOUR ANSWER TO; Heart Problems, High Blood Pressure, Poor Circulation, Arthritis, Diabetes, Leg Cramps, Numbness, Tingling, Cold Hands And Feet & Atherosclerosis.

I want kids to learn the value of earning their own money real independent living,” Ruth said. She carries that desire beyond the school setting as well. Ruth is a Mentor Mother volunteer with the Penn State Cooperative Extension 4-H/Family Living program in Dauphin County. This program matches volunteer moms in the community with teen mothers as a support and mentoring to aid the teens with their parenting skills. Ruth was matched with a home less teen this year. “Working with a homeless teen mother is a big challenge, but I know she needs my help,” Ruth said. When asked why she expends so much energy on youth, her eyes light up and a smile spreads across her face. “It’s my little mission. I’ve never experienced failure when I’m working to help young people. The kids keep me young they energize me!” Her energies seem endless as she gives to youth on the job and in the community.
