Community Partnerships<br />
Partnerships in the community allow the P-H-M <strong>Education</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> to further support students and staff. Most notably in 2011-2012 were the<br />
partnerships with Barnes & Noble Bookstores and Penn Wrestling Club.<br />
The Penn Wrestling Club Challenge brought together nearly<br />
100 wrestlers in a 100-, one-minute wrestling challenge at<br />
Penn High School in January. The Penn Wrestling Club is<br />
a nonprofit organization and is led by Penn High School<br />
wrestling coach Brad Harper. Funds raised from the challenge<br />
were split between the Penn Wrestling Club and<br />
P-H-M <strong>Education</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>.<br />
A holiday book drive at Barnes & Noble Bookstore at the University<br />
Park Mall generated 1,836 books for five P-H-M elementary schools that<br />
have the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The<br />
books, valued at a total of $10,246, were distributed to Elm Road Elementary,<br />
Elsie Rogers Elementary, Meadow’s Edge Elementary, Moran<br />
Elementary and Walt Disney Elementary schools. Many thanks to the<br />
P-H-M families and the general public who donated books to support<br />
elementary students.<br />
“It’s fun to see my fifth-grade boys excited about reading. These books<br />
very much filled a void.” — Shelli Treely, reading coach at Moran<br />
Elementary School.<br />
