There are two great ways to help your college student stay in touch with hometown news. Sign your student up for a Patch newsletter, and let them know about adding the Patch apps for iPhone and Android phones. 

Did we mention it's all free? Your family scholar can keep up with local news, including the wide variety of events going on at their high schools and in their communities back home.

Besides, we want to stay connected to some of our most loyal readers.

Simply visit Limerick-Royersford-Spring City Patch and sign up college-bound students for the newsletter (you'll find the button at the top of the homepage).

Good luck to all college bound students. Visit often!
