Pottsville, Pennsylvania’s, Trinity Episcopal Center for Children to close

Due to declining enrollment and a lack of funding, the preschool at Trinity Episcopal Church in Pottsville will close June 3.

"I think it's a shame because there aren't many programs in the area that offer a spiritual component to a sound educational background," said Tiffany L. Reedy, Pottsville, whose daughter, Samarra, 5, is a preschool student there. Reedy is also principal of D.H.H. Lengel Middle School, Pottsville.

"The school's been operating in the red for the last three years," said the Rev. James Rinehart, a member of Trinity Center for Children's board of directors. "We had some money invested, but we've gone through our investments ... Last year, we didn't even hold our summer program because of lack of registration."
