| ELL students finish program
DALLASTOWN SCHOOLS — The Dallastown Area School District recently finished its summer program for English Language Learner students and their parents. Instructional Program Specialist Alma Row said 13 students, from first grade through high school, and two parents participated in the week-long program. The program helps the students and their parents to connect with the community and increase communication skills in English, Row said. The group took a virtual road trip through the United States to have a greater understanding of the country, she said. The trip started in York County and went to Philadelphia, St. Louis, San Francisco, New Orleans and Washington, D.C. Google Earth, literature, games and cooking were incorporated in the activities. "It was tons of fun," Row said.
