Communities in Schools Communities In Schools http://cislv.org/ is the nation’s largest dropout prevention organization bringing coordinated, integrated student services into public schools to meet the needs of at-risk students. Our mission is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. To help our students achieve their greatest successes, we determine students’ needs and establish relationships with local businesses, social service agencies, health care providers, and parent and volunteer organizations to provide needed resources. Community resources provide the substance to our “Five Basics” model that has allowed our students to flourish over the last 35 years. Cities In Schools of Bethlehem opened its doors in 1983 and after name changes and expansions became Communities In Schools of the Lehigh Valley in 1994. Since then, the agency has provided site coordinators and integrated student services to schools, provided alternative education support services, student health initiatives, career services, after-school and summer programs, and support services to young fathers. Our goal continues to be the same: to stop the drop out epidemic and provide every opportunity to help kids graduate from high school. Communities In Schools of the Lehigh Valley is focused on helping children build the best life they can by helping them overcome obstacles. Every child is unique and requires and individualized approach in order to succeed. Whether a child needs extra academic help, a mentor, a health check-up, additional food supplies, or even employment training, Communities In Schools of the Lehigh Valley is there to make sure that all children get exactly what they need.

  • Philadelphia County One of the Three Original Counties Created by William
    Philadelphia County One of the three original counties created by William Penn in November 1682, and its name to him signified “brotherly love,” although the original Philadelphia in Asia Minor was actually “the city of Philadelphus.” Philadelphia was laid out in 1682 as the county seat and the capital of the Province; it was chartered as a city on October 25, 1701, and rechartered on March 11, 1789. On February 2, 1854, all municipalities within the county were consolidated with the city. The county offices were merged with the city government in 1952. Swedes and Finns first settled within the county in 1638. Dutch seized the area in 1655, but permanently lost control to England in 1674. Penn’s charter for Pennsylvania was received from the English king in 1681, and was followed by Penn’s November 1682 division of Pennsylvania into three counties. The City of Philadelphia merged (and became synonymous) with Philadelphia County in 1854. Thomas Holme made the physical plan for the City, and the Northern Liberties were designated to give urban lots to all who purchased 5,000 rural acres in Pennsylvania. The City had eighty families in 1683, 4,500 inhabitants in 1699, 10,000 in 1720, 23,700 in 1774. Philadelphia was economically the strongest city in America until surpassed by New York City in population in 1820 and in commerce by about 1830, although Philadelphia was strongest in manufacturing until the early twentieth century. It led the nation in textiles, shoes, shipbuilding, locomotives, and machinery. Leadership in transportation, both as a depot and a center for capital funding, was another Philadelphia attribute.

  • The Scandalous Indian Policy of William Penn's Sons: Deeds and Documents of the Walking Purchase
    THE SCANDALOUS INDIAN POLICY OF WILLIAM PENN'S SONS: DEEDS AND DOCUMENTS OF THE WALKING PURCHASE BY FRANCIS JENNINGS* I N1737 Thomas Penn and James Logan produced a show that came to be called the Walking Purchase or Indian Walk. This much-described incident ostensibly was the fulfillment of a con- tract by which some Lenape Indians had sold a quantity of lands to be measured by a man walking for a day and a half from a fixed starting point. Penn and Logan forced the Walk upon un- willing and resentful Indians who charged fraud consistently from the day of its performance until they finally received compensa- tion twenty-four years later. During this period the anti-proprietary forces in Pennsylvania came to believe that the Walk was a cause of Indian hostilities in the French and Indian War, and they used it as the basis for a political campaign against Thomas Penn which led to a petition by Benjamin Franklin for a royal inquiry. In 1762 the Crown's commissioner, Sir William Johnson, presided over a turbulent hearing during which the chief Indian spokesman withdrew his charge that Thomas Penn had forged the Walk deed; but Johnson paid the Indians anyway at the end of the inquiry out of Thomas Penn's funds, thus raising some suspicions about the nature and purpose of the proceedings. There has been much contention over these highly dramatic events. Using the voluminous justifications prepared by Penn's lawyers and administrators, one school has held that Penn was libeled unscrupulously for the partisan purposes of some schem- ing Quakers working with that greatest schemer of them all, Benjamin Franklin.

  • A William Penn Deed
    A WILLIAM PENN DEED. In answer to a referred question as to what is a " William Penn Deed," Mr. Hensel exhibited an original deed from William Penn for three hundred and seventy-five acres of land situated in that portion of the "Chester Valley" which runs through Lancaster county beginning at Quarryville. It is signed with the genuine signature of William Penn him- self and is written on stout parchment, with his seal. The full text of the deed is as follows, and the land, therein de- scribed rather indefinitely, comprises the tract upon which Ambrose Pownall now resides, east of Nobleville in the township of Sadsbury: "This Indenture witnesseth yt William Penn of Horminghurst in the county of Sussex, Elgd., for & in consideration of Twelve pounds four shillings to him in hand paid Hath by these presents granted Three Hundred Seventy-five acres of Land Cleare of Indian incom-branches in the Province of Pennsylvania (towards the Susquehanna River) to John Kenner- ley of Shavingta, County, Chester cheese factor his heirs and assignees & him there of enfeoffed every acre to be com- puted according to the statute of yc thirty-third of King Edward the First to have and to hold to him his heires and assignes for ever together with all & every the Lands Isles Islands Mynes Mineralls (Royall one Excepted) woods fishings hawkings fowlings & all other Royalltyes profits comodityes & hereditaments insoever unto the same —belonging Yielding & paying there- fore yearly and every year unto the ad William Penn his heirs and assignes imediatly from

  • Fifty Shades of Censorship?
    Editor: Henry Reichman, California State University, East Bay Founding Editor: Judith F. Krug (1940–2009) Publisher: Barbara Jones Office for Intellectual Freedom, American Library Association ISSN 1945-4546 July 2012 Vol. LXI No. 4 www.ala.org/nif It did not escape the notice of Tim Cole, collections manager for the Greensboro Public Library in North Carolina, that Fifty Shades of Grey was “of mixed literary merit,” as he politely put it. He ordered 21 copies anyway. His patrons had spoken, Cole said, and like other library officials across the coun- try, he had gotten the message: Readers wanted the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. They have besieged libraries with requests for the books, signaling a new wave of popularity for these erotic novels, which became the best-selling titles in the nation this spring. In some cases demand has been so great that it has forced exasperated library officials fifty shades of to dust off their policies — if they have them — on erotica. In April the trilogy, which includes the titles Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades censorship? Freed, was issued in paperback by Vintage Books, part of the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, sending sales through the roof when the publisher printed and dis- tributed the books widely for the first time. That enthusiasm has carried over to libraries. At many, Fifty Shades of Grey, by the previously unknown British author E. L. James, is the most popular book in circula- tion, with more holds than anyone can remember on a single title, including 2,121 as of May 18 at the Hennepin County Public Library, which includes Minneapolis, up from 942 on April 9.

He used his inherited wealth and rank to benefit and protect his fellow believers. Despite the unpopularity of his religion, he was socially acceptable in the king's court because he was trusted by the Duke of York, later King James II.
