The Conestoga Valley Zip Code Show
The Conestoga Valley Zip Code Show
24 APR 2019 · Welcome to the Conestoga Valley Zip Code Show! In this introduction, I tell my own Conestoga Valley story, and what led to the creation of the show.
30 APR 2019 · In this episode I welcome Sue Orth to the podcast. Sue is long-time member of Zion Lutheran Church of Leola where she served as Director of Outreach. During her tenure, as she describes in the podcast, Sue was deeply involved in the Conestoga Valley community. She continues to serve as director of the CV Home of Hope, providing transitional housing for those experiencing homelessness. It is an amazing ministry that has changed lives, as you will hear on this episode. If you want to learn more about Homes of Hope visit: https://loveinclancaster.org/homes-of-hope/
2 MAY 2019 · Dr. Sally Bredeman, principal of Smoketown Elementary School (Conestoga Valley School District) joins us to talk about her experience in the CV Community. Smoketown serves 650 students, supported by about 50 teachers and 50 staff. As Sally describes for us, education in 2019 has transformed well beyond the days of students showing up in classrooms where teachers communicate content. What does education look like in our school district? You might be surprised! (Visit Sally's Principal's Page on the Smoketown website for more info: https://www.conestogavalley.org/domain/213)

Katie and Carla share their CV stories, and talk about the diversity and concerns they see everyday as they interact with a wide variety of families in our school district: those struggling with homelessness, English as a second language, cultural diversity, and more.
