Lehigh Parkway Elementary faculty and staff participated in their third annual “Community Walk” on September 21 with a goal of strengthening the bonds between our families and our school. During this event the Parkway staff provided information to parents about Literacy Strategies to practice at home, Sapphire Community Portal Instructions and details about Lehigh Parkway being a Leader in Me School. Allentown Youth Symphony, The Allentown Public Library, The Community Music School, the YMCA, and the Allentown Young Professionals joined us in the Parkway neighborhoods. The highlight of this year’s event was the distribution of 122 backpacks filled with school supplies, 60 restaurant gift cards, 10 gift certificates, and 12 special prizes to our Parkway students in their neighborhoods!! This extra special endeavor was made possible by the generosity of our community partners. Below is a list of all those individuals, organizations and groups that helped make this event so special. The Allentown Young Professionals, Horace Mann, Sugar Hill Jazz House, Ringer’s Roost, Louie’s Fine Italian Food, The Cellular Connection, Egypt VFW Post 7293, Mary Craig, Allentown School District Elect Program, Parkway Church of Christ, Allentown Symphony Association, The Community Music School, William Allen High School, South Mountain Middle School, Wild Condor, The Allentown Public Library, The Allentown School District Foundation, State Representative Peter Schweyer, SkyZone, The Archive, and the YMCA. We are very grateful for their help and support of our students and families!
