Local Government Week

Each year Pennsylvania commemorates Local Government Week, which focuses attention on the

need for strong, independent, and active local governments. Pennsylvania recognizes the valuable

contributions their elected officials make in our communities.

The New Milford Township likes to bring awareness and celebration of community to the Blue Ridge Elementary

students through it's annual Local Government Week contest.  This year the students were challenged to

support our Service Men & Women by donating Dept. of Defense approved goods to be shipped overseas

to those currently serving our country. Items were collected March 18th - March 22. 

The Kindergarten students collected the most items.  They were awarded for their participation with

patriotic goodies, as well as, a movie ticket to a show of their choice at the Montrose Theater. 

The theater helped co-sponsor the event by donating a portion of the tickets.
