About CUSA:
The Chester Upland School of the Arts (CUSA) is a public school with over 400
students located in the under-resourced community of Chester, Pa. CUSA’s
mission is to improve the community and prepare children for success as
individuals and as active, responsible citizens through a marriage between
arts, dance, and education.
Why: CUSA
teachers have been inspiring leaders, at times working with no pay, donating
materials, and overcoming obstacles each day. One of the school’s major
challenges is the lack of a safe outdoor playground for children to play, be
physically active, and release surplus-energy and stress. Among many goals, SIG
strives to raise $50,000 in order to rebuild CUSA’s playground before classes
start in September 2015.
Who should attend/how:
Attendance is open to the entire public. Ticket prices are $30 for a single
ticket, and $100 for 4 tickets.
To buy tickets or donate, visit https://www.localevelevents.com/events/details/1119.
Every single dollar will benefit CUSA. Donations are 100% tax deductible.
When: Thursday, June 18, 2015 from 5-8
p.m.
Where: The Wharf Waterfront, 2501
Seaport Drive, Chester, Pa.

Chester High School Law Day 2015
Assistant District Attorney Erica Parham and Judge Linda Cartisano |
Chester High
School wrapped up Law Day events with an annual visit from Assistant District
Attorney Erica Parham and Judge Linda Cartisano. They discussed several nationwide
current events including the riots in Baltimore, incidents involving law
enforcement, and prominent cases in the news. The Law Day theme was Magna
Carta. Based on a hypothetical situation, students discussed whether there was
evidence sufficient to sustain a conviction and whether there was legally
adequate defense to the offenses charged; a very complex case with lots of
twist to hold students’ interest in the legal process. Looking forward to next year’s
Law Day.
