High School Teachers and Admin Make Meals at Ronald McDonald House

   
The last thing a family wants to think about when dealing with a sick child is meal preparation. That's why the Ronald McDonald houses provide home cooked meals to all the families staying there. And yesterday, members from the high school along with the administrative team, several students, and our school resource officer prepared meals at one of the Ronald McDonald houses in Philadelphia.
     School Resource Office, Bob Lee, organized the trip. The Ronald McDonald House is a place where families who have children facing serious medical challenges can stay in comfort while receiving care at nearby hospitals, including Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Volunteers regularly donate money to provide food for the meal and then put on their aprons and get to work.
    The team prepared a delicious meal of pork loin with cranberries and herbs, chicken breast with roasted shallot au jus, mac and cheese, roasted beets, broccoli, salad, chicken nuggets, and chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies for dessert.
     High School Chefs teacher, Chris Polk, attended and recruited some of his students to participate. Others who volunteered their time were members Courtney Artau, George Banas, Lori Litchman, and Laurie Christine. They were joined by Officer Lee and high school administrative team: Mr. Van't Hoenderdaal, Mrs. Carolla, Mr. Dinney, Mr. Magditch and Mr. Soto.
     The Ronald McDonald House is always looking for guest chefs. Click here for more information about volunteering.

QCEA President Shares Statement at 11/12/20 School Board Meeting

QCEA President Ryan Wieand shared the following statement at the November 12, 2020 QCSD School Board meeting. You can view the entire school board meeting with this YouTube link:  https://youtu.be/VyVSJ28Sb6g    Good Evening, In the past, this board has used low community spread as one of its reasons for claiming our schools should return to live instruction, five days a week. At the beginning of the school year, only one county had a “substantial” level of community spread; however, that has quickly changed and the upward trend is frightening. As of last week, there are now 38 counties that have the highest level of community spread, designating them as “substantial,” including Bucks County. The QCEA membership resides in nine different counties and every one of those counties is currently labeled as “substantial,” and their community spread is increasing, as well as hospitalizations. Those staff members are traveling to and from their hot spot counties each day, working...
