program, Chris Lupolt, Selinsgrove High’s guidance counselor, introduced six
students from the district who attended PFEW this past summer: Kealy Howell,
MiKayla Kuhns, Kristy Richard, Abby Reed, Ruth Mengstead, and Kristin Gilson.
Each student spoke about their experiences (developing a product, financing it,
advertising it, learning about team work and all the components it takes to run
a business, making good friends, hearing motivational speakers). Charlie Ross,

shared reasons support of this program is important. Hal Schriver noted that
