The Daniel Boone Area School District Primary Center is asking for community support to help replenish its supply of student clothing.

School officials say the nurse’s office is currently in need of pants and shorts in sizes XS through XL for both boys and girls. These items are kept on hand for students who may need a change of clothing during the school day.

Community members are encouraged to donate new or gently used clothing, which can be dropped off at the Primary Center main office.

District staff say the donations play an important role in helping students remain comfortable, confident and ready to learn throughout the day.

The Greater Reading Chamber Alliance (GRCA) is preparing for its 113th Annual Dinner, featuring a keynote address from former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino.

The annual event will also recognize outstanding local companies through the Business Excellence Awards, highlighting achievements across multiple categories.

In addition to the program, attendees will have the opportunity to network with more than 700 members of the regional business community during a cocktail hour and throughout the evening.

Organizers note that advance registration pricing is available for a limited time, with tickets currently on sale online.

The Schuylkill River Sojourn will mark a major milestone in 2026, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States with special programming highlighting the river’s historical significance.

Participants will travel between 14 and 18 miles per day by kayak or canoe, accompanied by trained river guides. The experience includes meals, camping and gear transportation, making it accessible for a wide range of paddlers.

Pricing is set at $130 per day for adults and $75 for youth ages 16 and under, with full-trip rates of $775 for adults and $500 for youth.

Organizers say this year’s event will place a special emphasis on the Schuylkill River’s role in American history, offering a unique way to connect recreation with the nation’s 250th birthday celebration.
