Legislation Would Increase Mental Health Professionals in Schools

As part of a comprehensive effort to make our schools safer, I am introducing legislation to increase the ability of school districts to hire additional professionals to focus on the mental health needs of their students.

Happenings at Home

I want to thank Jerry and Jeremy Jackubowski and John Coyle,  as well as the employees at the McDonald’s in Richland Township, for a tour and their hospitality on April 11.  I enjoyed working the drive-thru and welcomed the experience of preparing a Quarter Pounder.  I also learned about the wonderful initiatives and programs McDonald’s offers to their employees and customers alike, including:

• Archways to Opportunities Education
• Packaging/Recycling Commitment, and
• Healthier Food Options

On April 20, I had the pleasure of attending the 5th Annual Arbutus Senior Spirit Awards Banquet. Congratulations to those who were recognized for their outstanding contributions to the community.

District Offices Serve as Locations for “Cell Phones for Soldiers” Donations

Area residents can do their part to support members of the military and veterans by donating used mobile devices to “Cell Phones For Soldiers” at one of my district offices.

“Cell Phones For Soldiers” is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to serving troops and veterans with free communication services and emergency funding. Founded in 2004, the organization has provided more than 300 million minutes of talk time to troops serving around the world.

Donations of newer or gently-used cell phones and tablets from all wireless carriers and brands are accepted. Each donated device valued at $5 will provide troops with an estimated 2.5 hours of free talk time.

This is a great way to show our support for troops who are often far from family and friends, serving our country.  I urge area residents who may have a phone they are no longer using to donate it to Cell Phones for Soldiers as a way of thanking our members of the military and veterans and helping to them to keep in touch with those at home.
