Reading store will supply

uniforms for charter school in city

The I-LEAD Charter School is pleased to announce that the VILLA

clothing store, 547 Penn St., Reading, a long-time friend of I-

LEAD Inc. and popular local merchant of urban apparel, will

serve as the inaugural vendor for custom-embroidered student

shirts displaying the I-LEAD logo — part of the school uniform.

As an employer with an interest in developing a skilled work-

force, VILLA volunteered to invest a portion of proceeds from

uniform sales to a college scholarship fund and provide intern-

ship placements for I-LEAD Charter School students.

The school, the first charter school in Berks County, will open

Sept. 6 in the former Ludens building, Eighth and Walnut streets,

in Reading. More than 200 students have enrolled.

VILLA has agreed to offer generous discounts on student shirts

and a selection of pants and shoes approved as uniform apparel.

To promote shared ownership of school culture, students them-

selves selected the pants and shoes that will comprise full I-LEAD

Charter School student attire.

Please note that students and parents are free to purchase ap-

proved pants and shoes from any vendor.

To highlight its support for and celebrate the pending first day of

the I-LEAD Charter School, VILLA will open its doors exclusively

to students and parents for a special opportunity to purchase

uniforms from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 11.

To encourage students to set and reach their goals even before

the school year begins, we invite students to enter an essay con-

test to win two free sets of uniforms.

Two student essay winners will be selected during the one-hour

sale.

To enter, please submit a typed 500-word essay describing your

future goals, challenges you face in reaching your goals, and

steps you plan to take to reach your goals.

You can submit your essay via email to leann.duprey@i-

leadusa.org or via mail to:

Longtime restaurant in Reading

deserves a visit, or revisit...bctv.org

It's still standing there at 140 W. Buttonwood St., between a church

and Schuylkill Avenue in Reading, Pa., — a diner that has seen the

great and the small come through its doors.

The food seems to be getting better, there's plenty of parking and the

workers are courteous and wonderful.

Ms. Marguerite is a jovial, lovely person who aims to please her cus-

tomers — that's the main reason for the House of Good Food's lon-

gevity.

Please revisit this beautiful, quiet, peaceful wonderful diner that

many of us have forgotten about.

You will not be disappointed.

Of course you won't have to be able to spell Schuylkill Avenue to get a

great meal, fortunately for Nate.

Ha ha

The staff is waiting for our return. Please

don't disappoint these

wonderful cooks and patrons from our

city.

Thanks much. By Nathan Washington

Learning to Move on and Letting Go of the Past Being excited about moving on and starting over isn’t always enough to let go of

someone that treated you badly. Loving this person may block positive people and

opportunities from coming into to your life. Your mind tells you to move forward and

never look back but your heart keeps reminding you of what could have been. Your

heart says, “We could have been so happy together!” Your mind says, “It would have

never worked out between the two of you!” Never pass up an opportunity for great-

ness because of pure nonsense. Be cautious of those people who are lurking and pa-

tiently waiting to jump in and take advantage of your love. People like this will only

hinder your success and bring you crashing down in the process. Avoid manipulative

characters that have hidden motives. Embrace loving and kind-hearted individuals

that will enhance your life. Hard work will lead to success and success will lead to fulfillment. A fulfilled heart

is a happy heart and love will enter your life from all directions. Never settle for less when you’re worth a mil-

lion times more.
