I am reaching out to provide you with a flyer promoting an event organized by the Frankford Schools Coalition.
The coalition is a vision brought to life by the principal at Warren G Harding Middle School, Mary Sanchez. In the light of several deaths of young people that she had a close association with, Mary felt it her purpose and duty to do more to uplift the citizens of Frankford and in turn create an environment where families and youth have productive outlets, support, tools to improve their lifestyles and a sense of connectedness to their fellow citizens.
Her first step was to reach out to other schools in our section of the city as well as some community organizations that had a common vision and invite them to join in on the initiative. Through the passion and outreach of those core members, the Coalition has taken on a life of its own and is growing beyond what anyone had originally imagined. This is only one event that we will be hosting and there will be many more in the future which we hope to share with you.
The Grand Army of the Republic Civil War Museum and Library,
4278 Griscom Street, www.garmuslib.org,
will reopen to the public every Tuesday from 12 to 4 beginning June 1, 2021.
Please call the Museum at 215-289-6484 before planning your visit,
to confirm that our volunteer staff will be in attendance.
Our “Open House Programs” will continue on Zoom.
The Museum will follow the current CDC guidelines.
THAT’S OKAY
You may not feel the way that I do.
But, I lost my best friend when I lost you-
And that morning breeze just keeps blowing through.
So, if you should stumble, If you should fall,
And you need someone to talk to – Give me a call.
Because in my heart you will always stay-
My best friend.
Because best friends have a meeting of the soul, and my soul refuses to let you go.
So, If I don’t hear from you – That’s okay.
Because In my mind you will always stay-
My best friend – Forever, and a day.
