From Greaves to McDaniels they all are helpful and caring. They looked out for me when my daughter was attending and kept me in the loop.

This review is specifically for their annual Old World Festival they host each fall. My mother has…read morebeen going for years and raves about the food that brings her back to her childhood eats from her grandparents who hailed from Poland and Russia. She brought my father last year who was equally blown away. This year we decided to join and were all impressed as well. The room the event is held in was in the back of the church. It's small but cozy. It's cafeteria style eats with communal tables. It was nice to sit and chat with others. We grabbed platters and started to fill up....blintzes (here they're called blini), Greek salad, noodles with cabbage, cabbage filled puffed pastry, kielbasa, and of course, pierogis. Everything was incredible!! It was the best blinzte I've ever had!! The cabbage stuffed pastry (halupki) was unreal! It's all old school authentic recipes you can tell were made with lots of love. Food was available to-go and some, such as the pierogis and blintze can be purchased frozen for enjoying at a later date. (The timing of the event is perfect for pulling some of these trees out for the upcoming holidays!) Prices were reasonable and it was cash only. It cost us about $20 to feed our family of 4. With each food purchase you are given a raffle ticket to place in front of the basket of your choosing. There was a Red Lobster basket, a wine basket, and a local organization basket, to name a few. The winners are announced two weeks after-to allow congregants to participate too. Don't forget to put your phone number on your ticket. The dessert were impressive and available in slices and entire pies and cakes. We took They also had authentic imported wine and beer $4-$6 a glass. The kids joined in free craft making! They made snowflake ornaments in one of the preschool rooms. It was very cute! We met a few priests when they were inviting folks to take a tour of the church. We were greeted ever so warmly immediately and everyone volunteering remained sweet the whole time. It was a delicious lovely afternoon. We will definitely be returning next year with the fam! The grounds begins the church were lovely as the leaves were changing for autumn. I definitely considered bringing my plates back there and eating! Worth it if you're somewhat nearby. They don't advertise the event much? Just on their personal website, so keep your eyes peeled early October next year.

As a person that graduated from this school i'll say the school was horrible not because of the…read morestudents or teachers, its because of the school and other staff members. Its so weird coming in the morning to breakfast and have a women all up on you, telling who "get out of the cafeteria you been here for so long" mind you im there for 7 minutes. Its like the world is going to explode or something. Not only that but through the year i saw ROACHES and the teacher were telling me "oh there just beetle" Cause they know damn well those are NOT beetles those are roaches. Second of all the food. So ive been noticing every single time i look at the lunch menu its not the same as the food they be serving to us. Well i just found out that sometimes they be running out of food and they have to switch the food last minute. Which is fine to me cause i dont really care, its not like they feed us weird stuff everyday but the lack of food they be giving us is so bad. Wdym 4 chicken nuggets is going to fill me up. Im a 8th grader im suppose to be eating more than that. Another thing the recesses time NEEDS to be studied fym 10 minutes of recesses time is "enough". Not only is the school is buns and tiring, the only thing in return the school gives us is "10 minutes of recesses" which is sad. Also props to the teacher for handing kids bs cause every single time when the teacher writes them up, the school doesnt do nothing almost as if they dgaf. Their more scared of ruining their reputation then expelling a horrible student. Also another thing everytime when we have a day off on keystone THEY ALWAYS have to replace it asynchronous, Mind u the school forces us to do homework, bookreport and on top of that projects. Which is straight bs. Another thing i feel like the kids who has autism should be treated better cause if you didnt know the staff LOVES to shove them into a room destroying everything until "they calm down" which last HOURS. This school is a mess and im not finished yet. Also im so confused... the school is against ai but yet the vice principle letters are 100% ai? Doesn't make sense bae. Another thing.. Bathrooms tell me why there isnt a day where if you stay in the bathroom for too long you'll get kicked out. Which is fine if your playing around but most of the time people just get in and get kicked out pretty quick. We even used to have bathroom breaks and got taken to the bathroom while were like what in 8th grade? I think 8th graders are capable on going by themselfs. Also im saying this from experience dont trust all the councilors or any staff members. Im not kidding with you last year Ms. Tasha went through my Journal WITHOUT consent and demanded i needed a councilor. The only thing that got me through this year was the teachers. So tysm to 6th, 7th, 8th, Mrs. for helping me get through the year

This school is absolutely horrible! My child told me to leave a review and everything said was told…read moreto me by her and her friends. The grading system is inaccurate. Most teachers are disrespectful and unkind. The school water fountains are always either not working, the water is warm, and/or have a dirty filter. For tests, most of the questions are not provided for studying beforehand/on the study guide. The students are always using foul language, hitting each other, talking inappropriately, bullying each other, or genuinely not paying attention in class. The teachers only worry about their pay and not for the students sake of education. The teachers also do not reach out to parents as much as I'd appreciate. There are many bad teachers. For example, Mrs. Roth. She is unkind towards students and always yelling and touching them. She is also extremely disrespectful in general. Mrs. Fox (I think that is her name) yells a lot at her students and is not very respectful. Mrs. Ruppert does not properly educate her students. Mrs. Gale is most of the time rude. The school lunch is very horrible. When they come home from school on half days and bring a to-go lunch, it is overly disgusting. Even though they think they are doing good with the fruit cups/juice and cranberries, the food they make is why child obesity increases (sorry not sorry!!). The school air conditioning/heating is always to sometimes broken or not working well. There are probably more reasons but that's all I was told by my daughter and her friends during a 45 minute car trip.

I however being independent, explained to her, that I wear knee pads on my knees, and I walk on my knees, as you walk on your feet. you have to understand when you have no legs, people look, but you roll into a public pool in a wheelchair, people really look. I'm the type that doesn't like attention brought to my condition, I fly under the radar when possible. my point being s this female lifeguard, said to call her "Q". she was so pleasant and friendly, made me feel at ease and less of a spectacle. I'm going back soon, and it will be better this time. All because "Q" took the time to make me feel like a regular Pearson. She saw the Pearson, not the wheelchair! So THANK YOU "Q"your the best!

I took my Pomeranian there last Sunday for the annual animal blessing they do in honor of St. Francis of Assisi Day - this year it was on the actual feast day. Last year I took her to the 8AM service - this year we went to the 10AM service, which is somewhat longer since it features the (very good) choir and congregational singing. Please note this is not my regular place of worship. Last year we were the only ones there but the rector Father Robyn still accomodated us and blessed her along with the picture of my Chi mix (they bless pictures if the animal doesn't travel well. This year there were 3 other dogs there and the blessing was done in the graveyard. I found that the clergy & congregation were very welcoming. It's an easy location to get to: just 1 block from the bus stop for routes 24 & 18 and ample parking on Longshore Ave. I like the fact that they printed in their bulletin the texts of she Scriptural lessons read along with the Psalms read that day so you can follow along and refer to them in the future even if you don't have access to a Bible. Also that they pointed out which book is which in the pews (hymnal & Book of Common Prayer), where to find the restrooms and their policy on Communion. The building where they held the coffee social afterwards was named for a past rector who happened to be the brother of the only President hailing from PA (James Buchanan, also the only President to date who was a lifelong bachelor).
