​NE​WS & EVENTS​
Reading for Change
Posted February, 2024
In past years, our brave students have accepted the Reading for Change – Open-Book Challenge! Reading opens doors to new adventures and new opportunities for a hopeful future. Our goals:
​
-
to improve reading readiness skills for the vulnerable students we serve;
-
to help students develop a life-long love of books, and;
-
to raise funds to further each child’s education.
In 2023-24, the school has received substantial book donations, thereby meeting our need!​
Grant Street Plan - 2023-24
Posted February, 2024
​
So far, our first full school year at our Grant Street location has been a blessing.
We first relocated to our new campus on October 24, 2022 and completed our 2022-23 academic year on Grant Street.
Providence 360 - CVSM Lessons
Posted January, 2024
Providence has partnered with Cumberland Valley School of Music for keyboarding lessons with Mrs. Marie Hershey. In light of the restrictions imposed during the pandemic, we put a pause on these lessons.
There is a possibility that lessons might begin in the 2024-25 academic year. Thank you for your patience and understanding during these uncertain times.
Advancing Science
Posted July, 2023
Providence benefits from the Advancing Science program through Gettysburg College. The college receives our requests for experimental equipment and transports materials to and from our school. Mr. Michael Chase established this collaboration in our school's founding year, and it has been a consistent blessing ever since.
STEAM - Model Railroading
Posted January, 2024
Mr. Tom Clark, Mr. Douglas Glass, along with our Art teachers Mrs. Fitzpatrick and Mr. Hannaman have developed our innovative STEAM program. The program teaches science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics in an application that scales and builds a model community and railroading transportation system. The students learn ratios and other mathematics and engineering concepts, while practicing painting and craft skills in creating beautiful scenery. The work is on display for open house events, particularly Christmas at Providence.
