Every year, the Wissahickon community, including students and families of Whitpain, Blue Bell, Lower Gwynedd and Ambler gather for the WFCA (Wissahickon Faith Community) Annual Solidarity Walk from Wissahickon H.S. To Bethlehem Baptist Church for the Martin Luther King celebration. Afterward during the service, Ron Smith gave a presentation, and Patti Smith received an award from the Wissahickon Faith Community Association.  Patti  also received an American flag that flew over the US House of Representatives. 

 

 

We had our annual Summer Splash last week and had an ABSOLUTE BLAST! We love spending time with each other, and would love to have you join us too! 

 

 

 

The Four Way Test is, put simply, a yardstick code of ethics that helps us to be better Rotarians, better citizens and better friends. Since it’s adoption, the test has been translated into over 100 languages and is used around the world as guiding set of principles.

 

Every year we hold a contest for students in our district to give a speech. We're so proud of their hard work, dedication, and community efforts. Congratulations everyone!

The Rotary Club of Blue Bell teamed up with Wissahickon Middle School Interact club to bring much-needed classroom supplies to primary schools in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya through an organization there called SHOFCO. To help raise funds for the Nairobi primary school classroom supplies, the Interact Club held a “Pie Your Principal” event on May 30. 

 

Congratulations to our newest Student of the Quarter Alison. We are so thrilled to present you with this honor and have you as a part of the Blue Bell Community. Keep up the good work!

The Beat the Streets Wrestling Program of Philadelphia is committed to helping establish youth wrestling programs in the Philadelphia metropolitan region.  The organization will foster the holistic development of student-athletes by providing the resources to support wrestling and an academic tutoring programs throughout the greater Philadelphia region. Beat the Streets Philadelphia was founded on the principle that all children have the potential to become productive citizens when provided the proper support.  This belief has endured since the establishment of our first program in 2009 located in the city of Camden, NJ.  To this day, the organization remains laser focused on running wrestling and mentoring based youth development programs for underprivileged student-athletes that alter the trajectory of their lives.

 

Today it's considered the best wrestling room in Philadelphia. It is a charter school which has 350 students and 120 of the students are wrestlers. The ribbon cutting ceremony was amazing! We are blessed and honored to be working with such an organization. Thank you for all your hard work!
