Linden Hall School News

On Sunday, May 3rd, 137 students, faculty, parents, and friends of Linden Hall cheerfully donned their pink (and rain gear) and headed out into the brisk, rainy morning to walk for a worthy cause: raising money for the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition. Walking three miles around the school and into the greater Lititz community, the group formed a casual parade with their umbrellas, strollers, and positive attitudes.

Linden Hall’s sophomore class officers: Oge Erechukwu, Jacquelyn Keeney, Kelsey Burgess, Kristen Andersen, and Eleanor Rio planned and executed the fundraising walk with support from class advisors, Linda Mummert and Nora Workman, as well as, the Linden Hall Parents’ Association. The students enjoyed the opportunity to walk for a good cause. As one aptly concluded, “This is awesome—we’re doing something healthy, helping others, and having fun!”

On Monday, May 11th, the students presented a check for $1,110 to Executive Director Heather Hibsman and Director of Communications Sarah Light of the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition. It was a great first walk and the class plans to continue this community service project in the future.
