Congratulations to our "Million Word Readers"

Brookhaven Council President Susan Truesdale and Mayor Mike Hess Congratulate l. to r., Rachel Bingeman, Victoria Burgos, Suhaib Bhatti and Tyler Troutman on achieving the "Million Word Reader" status in Coebourn Elementary School's "Reading Counts" program.

As described by Coebourn's principal, Eric Kuminka, "Reading Counts" encourages students to become Million Word Readers. The project continues throughout the school year. Students must take a computer test to demonstrate what they have accomplished. So far this year, one student has read three million words, two have read two million and ten students have read one million words. At the end of the year, the top reader receives a special prize. The school has a cumulative goal of 70 million words read. Brookhaven Borough Council awards those who become Million Word Readers with a certificate noting their achievement at monthly Council meetings.

Do you know how to safely dispose of old prescription medicines?

To all Brookhaven Residents, 

I am happy to announce the DELCO MEDICINE DROP box has just been installed at the Brookhaven Police station.

Please feel free to "Drop off" unneeded or old prescription medicine. This will reduce the chance for abuse or for children getting into medicine cabinets. It also promotes environmental safety by emphasizing that medicine should never be flushed into the sewer system.

The Drop Box is open to Brookhaven residents and can be utilized during business hours.

Any questions please feel free to call Brookhaven Police Secretary Sandi Fuller @ 610 876 6142 ext 11.

Our sincere thanks to Delaware Country Council and District Attorney Jack Whelan for providing the "Drop Box".

Thank You,

Chief Randy McGoldrick
