Faculty, staff and students from Solomon Plains Junior High School have continued their community outreach into May. We, along with local businesses from the community have been providing lunch for fifty Veterans since January. This month, a special thank you to SFC John Rushkowski and the 300th Field Hospital Retired Army Reserve, Handles Ice Cream in Plains and Toronys Hot Dogs in Plains. The retired Veterans from the 300th Field Hospital also donated pins for the men that have served.
It has been a pleasure to serve the men at the VA and we hope they have enjoyed all of the lunches and desserts for the past five months. Don’t forget to check out Handles Ice Cream and Toronys Hot Dogs, both in Plains, PA. Also, remember to always support local, family owned businesses! A special thank you to Brenda Banaszek and Melinda Heffron, teachers at Solomon Junior High as well as the continued support of principal, Tony Khalife.
