He said it’s important for students to feel special and important in school, where youngsters spend most of their time, as some of them might not always feel that way. “It’s a hard time to be in education right now, and we're trying to keep the mo- rale up,” said Traver. “I think this program helped all of us.” Ten-year-old Emma Sarley, of Trucksville, regularly par- ticipates in classroom reward programs because it helps her be “happy and a good friend.” “If you be nice and be be- haved, good things can hap- pen,” she said. © When first-Graders S€€ piumimiiimiimim im iiiisiiiim ii Sidi ia fii jan Sin the color blue, it means ac- ceptance 1 e Second-graders should} know that green means trust- | worthiness : e Yellow is synonymous with responsibility for third- graders e Fourth-graders were as- signed the color orange, which means respect e Fifth-graders ship.

Some traveled far and wide to make it to the amateur competi- tion. Mark DeStefano of Chesa- peake Beach, Md., had his 2-year- old mutt Rory make the four-hour trek to the Dallas Township cam- pus to be entered into the con- test. “She’s the epitome of man’s best friend,” he said. Rory is the definition of a mixed breed — she’s part Bernese Mountain Dog, part Chocolate Labrador Retriever and part Box- er. “A friend’s friend had a litter of puppies, and she was the last one,” said DeStefano, a business student at Misericordia. “Her original name was Mini because she was so much smaller than the other dogs.” The event was sponsored by the Misericordia University Peer Advocates, a group that fosters programs about education, awareness, service and advocacy for first-year students. Andrea Carr, of Dallas, said 31 dogs participated in this year’s event and $576 was raised for Blue Chip Farms Animal Refuge in addition to supplies that were donated. Winners were selected in cate- Pories including biggest, small- est, celebrity look-alike, cutest, best trick, best hair/fur, best per- sonality and best in show. Prizes included gift certificates to local businesses and various pup pam- pering supplies. Marge Bart, owner of Blue Chip, said the event helps get the no-kill animal shelter’s name out to the public and that every little bit of financial aid helps the ani- mals. “It also brings all the animal lovers together,” said Bart as she judged the cutest category. “It’s great to see everyone socializing their dogs. There aren’t many op- portunities to do that.” Valley Tennis & Swim Club MEMBERSHIPS * Single * Family & Friends ® Combo Package with Rock Rec * Family Swimming ® Student Tennis & Swimming Package * Private Tennis or Swim Lessons PRIVATE PARTIES * 2 Hour Birthday Party ® 5-8pm Private Party (Mon.-Fri.) * "All Day” Sat. or Sun Party (Family Reunion, Graduation) * 7 Days a week 2 hour Swim Birthday Parties 2 DISCOUNT : CLUB RENTALS & MEMBERSHIPS embembip & Private Parties Only) $3 Divorce Made Fasy * We'll help you get what you want * You can save up to 90% of regular cost Call for a free Consult : 570-814-3563 BARONESS JULIANE VON SCHMELING MBA, EJD (across from Children Service Center) 334 S.
