Pennsbury Forever is a nostalgic look back at a high school in Bucks County, Pennsylvania that grew exponentially in the 1950s as the Baby Boomer generation advanced from kindergarten through graduation. The rapidly growing suburban communities forced parents, school administrators, and school board members to proactively act on long-range goals. The school district had to keep pace with the population explosion, passing bonds to build new schools to contain the overflow as the 1950s turned into the 1960s.This book features stories written by teachers, administrators, and students, looking back 50 and even 60 years to capture the essence of a high school that still binds old friends together. Although Pennsbury opened a new high school in 1966, the former high school pictured on the front of this book still exists as a junior high, which is why we have named this book, Pennsbury Forever. Our old school lives on!
This is the story of two friends, Alice and Fay. Alice lives in a stony house in the wall of a garden in the South of France, and Fay lives nearby in a leafy house under a rose bush.One hot, dry summer Alice and Fay and the other garden folk hear a call for help coming from the ruins of the old chateau. When they learn that the tiny tadpoles who live there are in trouble, they know they have to do something, because, as Alice says, "When someone small and frightened needs your help, you have to be brave."Alice and Fay go together to the chateau, where Fay uses her fairy magic to save the tadpoles and Alice uses her lizard magic to save Fay. In the end, all is well, but what has happened to Alice's tail?
A business owner and a mom to four amazing kids, Deb went back to college in 1994 to study sign language and in 1996 she completed additional courses at Rhode Island School for the Deaf. Owning a children's party planning business, she incorporated original whimsical sign language lessons and songs into each event. The news of the fun lessons spread quickly to surrounding schools and Deb was hired to teach sign language as a second language to classrooms of hearing children across the state. In 2004, she created a children's sign language pilot for Rhode Island PBS and in 2006 she opened her own school with an emphasis on Sign language, which received letters of excellence. Today, now a grandmother of three wonderful grandsons, Deb has completed two books including "Clumpy the Cloud" and "The Signing Kids Present: Learning Sign Language through Laughter". She is currently working on her second "The Signing Kids Present" book to continue the ongoing series.

The impact that Adolf Hitler's Third Reich had on European Jews, Communists, Poles, Gypsies, homosexuals, the disabled and various others deemed by the Nazis to be "Asocials", is a well-documented fact of history. Less discussed, however, is Hitler's disdain for organized religion and his attempt to eradicate Christianity from Europe. Dachau, the first and most brutal of all the Nazi concentration camps, was also the site chosen to assemble the largest gathering of Catholic and Christian clergymen in history. Their inhumane treatment at the hands of the most ruthless collection of behemoths known to humanity, is brought to graphic life through the eyes of a Catholic priest imprisoned in Dachau in the early 1940s.Darkness at Dachau is the remarkable true story of Father Jean Bernard's stay at Germany's most brutal prison camp. The Luxembourg priest had been a vocal critic of the Nazi regime and used the Catholic film office to advocate his anti-fascist views. Following a year-long incarceration, Fr. Bernard was given an unprecedented ten-day furlough during which time he was presented with an opportunity that would result in his permanent release and the release of the hundreds of other clergymen housed at the Nazi camp. All he had to do was admit that he had been wrong in his opposition to the Third Reich and endorse its policies. Would he comply with their wishes to free himself and his fellow priests or would he return to the daily torture, starvation and inhumanity that was life at Dachau?Darkness at Dachau: A Clergyman's Perspective, is destined to become a tour-de-force in the study of the impacts of Nazi Germany on religious freedom. It also exposes a dark and critical history that receives far too little attention.
