Released Time Program Sets Open House

All are invited to the open house and student program featuring Warwick Released Time (WRT) John Beck Elementary students on Tuesday, Feb. 19, at 7 p.m. at Lititz United Methodist Church, 201 E. Market St. Students are to arrive at 6:45 p.m. The theme for the open house is "JOY - Faith, Fun, Friends (John 15:11-12)."

WRT is an optional nondenominational Christian two-year education program open to all third- and fourth-grade students residing in the Warwick School District, including homeschooled students. Second-grade students are especially invited to the upcoming open house to learn about WRT, as they will be eligible to attend when they enter third grade. Each second-grader in attendance will receive a small gift.

The upcoming open house and student program will offer an opportunity to see what the students have been learning in their weekly classes as they study the Bible. The third-grade WRT students from John Beck School, taught by Pamela Carr, Betsy Longenecker, and Krista Weaver, will tell what they are learning from the Old Testament by sharing songs, Scripture, and skits. The fourth-grade WRT classes, which learn from the New Testament, are taught by Breanna Bergman, Kerri Frank, Jen Heller, and Renee Reinfried and will share what they are learning about Jesus and His teachings as they apply to each student.

An offering will be received to continue the work of WRT, which has been in existence for 54 years. WRT has been approved by the Warwick school board through a cooperative effort with the Warwick Released Time board. The WRT director is Sue Rohrer, and the on-site director is Kim Reese. Other WRT staff members are Cathy Eberly, Jill Moseman, Jen Gallinaugh, Beth Nolt, Lauren Schwartz, Deb Lobb, and Ruth Groff.
