Bicen at Grandview
Grandview Elementary
School’s 380 children and
their teachers have been
involved in their Bicenten-

reached during the weeks of
April 26-30 and May 3-7.
Five special events have
been arranged for the last
week in April. Monday,
children will witness a sheep

Mount Joy R2. The follow-
ing day, a spinning demon-
stration will be given by
Mrs. Jay Eberly, Mount
Joy; and Wednesday, Peter,
Stralo of Reading, will
present a muzzle loader
shooting demonstration.
Phillip Bollenbacher, school
principal, will conduct the
making of root beer, among
all the children. Friday, an
Arbor Day program will
feature the planting of a
Bicentennial tree.
May 3-7 will be known as
Living History Week. Pat-
terned after county high
schools that have special
goal weeks, all regular
classes will be cancelled and
thirty-four classes related to
activities of 200 years ago
will be taught by all the
teachers, aids, secretary,

largest banks in the US.,
according to a survey in
Business Week magazine.

One of the 34 classes will
be going to school in a
one-room school. For the
first time since 1927, the
doors ‘of the Donegal
Springs ‘‘little red school-
house’’ will reopen to teach
children who selected the
class. Portions of old school
books have been re-printed
to use in the school that will
be taught by Mrs. Donna
Hosteter in the mornings
and Mrs. Claudia Webb in
the afternoons. Permission
was granted for this venture
from the trustees of the
Donegal Presbyterian
Church, owners of the
school.
Research had been done
on all classes that are going
to be taught at the school in
addition to historical re-
search being done on the
one-room school. Different
classes will be taught in the
morning and afternoon.
Children had the privilege to
choose from classes that
meet four times that week or
classes that only meet one
time thus enabling them to
take several different class-
es. These classes are knit-
ting, to be taught by Mrs.
Marina Roland; quilting,
Mrs. Zella Rehrer; cross-
stitch, Mrs. Mary E. Eberly;
primary toys, Mrs. Ann

who are Grandview patrons,
some of the children will
have the opportunity to visit
the house, hear about its
history, and see a fire
burning in one of the fire-
places. Fireplaces are locat-
ed on three levels of the
four-level house.
Following the trips, Fri-
day, a Johnny Tremain film

view the decorated school
and see the results of the
classes that were taught
during the week. The event
will begin at 7 p.m.
As a remembrance of
their Living History Week, a
book will be printed which
will include pictures, history
of classes taught, research
conducted, plus any recipes
used during the week. A
contest will be held among
the children to determine a
name for the book. The book
will be distributed next fall.
