Rainbow Corner Preschool Celebrates
Week of the Young Child

Rainbow Corner Preschool students are marking the Week of the Young Child with several activities this week. On Tuesday, Safe Kids McKean visited the preschool to talk about riding in car seats. Children were measured and weighed, and then completed an activity sheet that shows the correct car seat for their size.

On Wednesday, students were visited by Bradford Area School Board members Carla Manion and Paul Ridley, who read aloud Stop Snoring, Bernard!, which is the selection for the seventh annual Pennsylvania One Book, Every Young Child program. PA One Book highlights the importance of early literacy development in preschoolers ages three to six.

On Thursday, the students will be focusing on the outdoors with a playground activity, nature craft and picnic. The Week of the Young Child, an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), focuses public attention on the needs of young children and their families, and recognizes the early childhood programs and services that meet those needs. This year’s theme for the Week of the Young Child is Early Years Are Learning Years.

Rainbow Corner Preschool is part of CARE for Children. For more information on Rainbow Corner or CARE for Children, visit www.careforchildren.info.

Pictured Bradford Area School Board President, Paul Ridley, reads Stop Snoring, Bernard! to Rainbow Corner Preschool students Wednesday, as part of the Week of the Young Child celebrations. Stop Snoring, Bernard!, written and illustrated by Zachariah O’Hora, follows the adventures of loveable sea otter Bernard as he tries to find a place in the zoo where his loud snoring won’t disturb the other animals. Each student was given a copy of the book to take home. Getting a closer look are Andrew McCormick, Jr., Asa Walt, Shaine Croker and Arianna Hale. McCormick, age 3, is the son of Alyssa Hawk and Andrew McCormick; Walt, age 5, is the son of Dr. Michael and Mrs. Deb Walt; Croker, age 3, is the son of Shawna Reese and Darryl Croker; Hale, age 4, is the daughter of Megan Forquer and Steve Hale.

Corbett said the nearly 2-year long grand jury investigation, known as “Operation Diamond Drop,” used court-ordered wiretaps, undercover surveillance and controlled drug purchases to identify large-scale cocaine and marijuana traffickers in the region. “Drug trafficking at this level is ‘big business’, including upper-level suppliers, mid-level distributers and street-level sales people,” Corbett said. “Our investigations focus on following the drugs and money to their source, allowing us to attack an entire drug distribution network when we make our arrests.” Corbett said the chief figure charged today is Miguel Angel Burgos, 31, 9891 Holly...
