We loved seeing so many students, teachers, alumni and community members stop by to see us at our booth at the Oley Fair. It's always a wonderful way for the community to join together to enjoy the music, animals, food, and more! In fact, this year we had a contest to see what everyone's Oley Fair Favorites actually are, and while it was a close race for awhile, the results were clear: 1st place - Animals 2nd place - Food 3rd place - Rides

Thanks to an Education Grant, students in Mrs. Scholl's Medical Interventions class had an exciting opportunity to dive into a real-world scientific experiment—the ELISA test! This lab, part of the *Project Lead the Way Biomedical Science Pathway* curriculum, provided students with a hands-on experience using tools like microplates and pipettes to perform an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The ELISA test is an essential technique in the medical field, used to detect diseases by identifying specific antibodies or antigens in patient samples. This method helps diagnose conditions such as meningitis, HIV, Lyme disease, and more. During the experiment, the students carefully followed each step, observing a visible color change in the microplates, which signaled a positive result for the condition being tested. It was truly inspiring to see these students engage in this practical learning experience, applying what they’ve learned in the classroom to an experiment that mirrors real-life scenarios in the medical field. These types of labs not only build critical thinking and problem-solving skills but also introduce students to possible career paths in healthcare and biomedical science. We are incredibly grateful for our dedicated teachers who constantly seek opportunities to prepare students for life beyond high school. Their efforts, combined with the support of individuals and businesses that contribute to the Oley Valley Community Education Foundation (OVCEF), make experiences like this possible.  Thank you to everyone who helps OVCEF fulfill its mission of enhancing educational opportunities for students, residents, employees, and alumni of the Oley Valley School District. Together, we are creating a bright future for the next generation!
