This year’s LIONS International Peace Poster contest invited students to celebrate the things that helped make them feel connected to each other, their communities, and the world during these unprecedented times. From the Junior High, three Exeter students were recognized and received cash prizes by the Exeter Township Lions Club for their outstanding interpretation of this theme through their artwork, including third place winner, Danny Wright (left); second place winner Madelyn Rismiller (second from right) and first place winner, Faith Hartman (center). They were joined by Lions Club representatives, Principal Alex Brown and art teacher Kimberly Lopez, and congratulated by Leo the Lion! Awesome work, Eagles!
Exeter Athletic Director Tom Legath inducted into Manheim Township’s Athletic Hall of Fame
Exeter Township Athletic Director Tom Legath was honored by Manheim Township School District earlier this month as he was inducted into their Athletic Hall of Fame. A 1996 graduate of Manheim Township, Mr. Legath earned 7 varsity letters as a member of the soccer, basketball and baseball teams. In 1994 and 1995, he won Section 1 titles as a member of the soccer team. In 1996, Mr. Legath was a member of both the soccer and basketball all-star teams, as well as the PA Mid-State All-Star basketball team. He also finished that season as Manheim Township’s all-time leading scorer in basketball with 987 points and all-time leader in 3-point field goals.
Upon graduation, Mr. Legath earned an athletic scholarship to Kutztown University, where he was a 4-year member of the basketball team and served as captain in his senior season. He was the Athletic Director at Daniel Boone from 2007-2011, and since 2011, serves as the Athletic Director for the district. Congratulations Tom!

Please contribute your feedback for our Health & Safety Plan
As we look forward to the 2021-22 school year and a full return to in-person instruction, we are updating our Health and Safety Plans to reflect the latest guidance. These plans will then be submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Education so that we may receive a one-time, emergency federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) grant of $3.1 million, which must be used for specific programming and expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you’d like to share your feedback or suggestions on the development of this Health and Safety Plan and/or the utilization of the grant funds, please visit https://forms.gle/Gpjgg6rxfm5YJEzd8
