Band Director John Eckstine and 5/6 Center Principal Ed Smith say goodbye officially to Spring-Ford.
The Spring-Ford Area School District officially approved the resignations of Band Director John E. Eckstine Jr. and 5/6 Center Principal Edward J. Smith at Tuesday night's regular meeting.

Photos and musings from the Girl Scouts' latest service project.
Girl Scouts Troop 7902 held its Earth Day Project 2012 at the 5-6 Center on April 18 after school. The scouts, along with members of the high school's National Honors Society, sixth grade teacher Dacia Williams, and scout leaders Arlene Hudak and Jennifer Kuklentz, planted flowers and shrubs, cleaned up the area and worked on the pond at the school's courtyard. All of this was done with the skies darkening, but the rain held out long enough for the project to complete. "Mrs. Hudak came to me and had an idea for a service project to work with us every year," said Williams. "I try to come out here with the classes I have and clean up the courtyard, fix the pond, work on different things. We're about five years into this project with this …
