Safety concerns have been brought to our attention involving the MES parking lots and throughway behind Dayspring Christian Academy.

We urge you to use caution in these areas, watching for students, and driving slowly. Thank you for your attention as we work together to ensure the safety of all students and staff!

In October 2019, Dan Snyderman, Gifted Support Teacher for Mountville Elementary School and Landisville Intermediate Center, was notified that he has been awarded the Pennsylvania Association of Gifted Education’s (PAGE) Educator of the Year award!    
 
According to PAGE, the 2019 Educator of the Year Award is awarded based on the following criteria:

• Outstanding performance as an educator in or beyond the classroom
• Understanding the unique traits and learning needs of gifted children
• Successful networking with school staff, parents, and community on behalf of gifted programs
• Involvement in advocacy efforts for the gifted at local and state levels

 

On November 15, Dan attended a dinner to receive this award. He said, "I’m excited for the opportunity to bring this award home for Hempfield. I also wanted to thank everyone for your continued support of our gifted programming."

The Pennsylvania Association for Gifted Education is a nonprofit advocacy organization dedicated to helping gifted learners, parents and educators. An affiliate of National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC), since 1951, PAGE has assisted countless parents, teachers and administrators in helping Pennsylvania’s gifted learners reach their full potential.
