World's Largest Swim Lesson

LVCC's Summer Explorers

On June 24th, LVCC joined millions of people around the globe to send the message that swimming lessons save lives. Swim-in Zone in Center Valley, PA hosted 31 of LVCC's Summer Explorers, ages five to 12, from Salisbury Township, PA for The World's Largest Swimming Lesson^TM, a fun, yet critically important swim event. Swimming is a life-saving skill for children and adults. And thanks to our generous friends at Two Rivers Health & Wellness Foundation and Wells Fargo, an additional 110 children from Allentown and Bethlehem enrolled in LVCC's Summer Explorers program are currently learning to swim, a vital tool to reduce the risk of drowning.

Preschool Artist Residency

Bethlehem artist Bill Christine encourages expression using the visual arts

"What color should we make this man's shirt?"

The children, ages three to five, sitting in circle time eagerly raised their hands as resident artist, William Christine, sketched a picture of a man. Initial sessions of the 15-week artist residency began with a similar introduction to allow "Mr. Bill" to build rapport with the preschoolers, and help the artist learn about their interests and abilities. LVCC at Stones Crossing in Easton makes our eighth preschool artist residency with William Christine since 2007, made possible through the Arts-in-Education Partnership of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and LVCC's Fowler Education Fund.
