Agencies on Aging Survey - Please Participate!
Pike and Wayne County Area Agencies on Aging have developed surveys for citizens to provide input on the services they would like to see in our community. The aging population in both counties continues to grow and there is a definite need to enhance services not only for senior citizens but also persons with disabilities. An emerging issue is the number of families that are taking care of aging parents or relatives and the need for adult day care, long term care, and support groups for caregivers.
If you are a resident of Pike or Wayne County and would like to assist the agencies with their needs analysis, please click on the appropriate link below and submit once when finished.

Students Take Part in Regional Virtual Business Plan Competition
 On January 17th, 2012, Wallenpaupack’s Virtual Business Class, Snow Den, took part in the Regional Virtual Business Plan Competition, via video conference in the District Office’s Board Room. Snow Den is a virtual business, based on Ski-Big Bear, which maintains a ski mountain, repairs equipment, and operates a lodge. The business plan team consisted of five students: Seniors, Scott Sullivan, and Garrett Zeiler; Juniors, Kaitlynne Young, and Ean Hibian; and Sophomore, Rocco Scartelli. The business plan team competed against five other schools from the tri-state area in an attempt to gain a place at the national business plan competition in March in New York City. Each team was judged by four professors from Mercer County Community College, in New Jersey. Although the team will not be advancing to the next level in the competition, they did get rave reviews from the judges on their mature level of professionalism and confidence conveyed throughout the presentation. |
