🎒 BACK TO SCHOOL & BACK TO CAMPUS — PLEASE SLOW DOWN! 🚌

As the 2026–2027 school year begins for the Huntingdon Area School District and students return to Juniata College, our community will once again see a significant increase in pedestrian and vehicle traffic throughout Huntingdon.

The Huntingdon Borough Police Department reminds everyone to use extra caution during this transition.

🚌 Watch for school buses.
Be prepared for frequent stops, flashing lights, and students entering or exiting buses.

🚸 Watch for pedestrians.
Children, college students, and families will be walking throughout the community, particularly near schools, campus areas, intersections, and crosswalks.

🚗 Slow down and stay alert.
Allow extra travel time, obey posted speed limits, and expect increased congestion during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal.

📵 Eliminate distractions.
Put the phone down and keep your attention on the roadway.

⚠️ Expect the unexpected.
A child may enter a crosswalk, a bus may stop, or traffic may slow with little notice. A few extra seconds of patience can prevent a tragedy.

Whether you are driving to work, dropping off a student, traveling through town, or walking to class, safety is a shared responsibility.

Slow Down. Be Patient. Stay Alert.

Let’s work together to provide a safe start to the school year for our Huntingdon Bearcats, Juniata College Eagles, and everyone traveling throughout our community.

CALLED TO SERVE

We were not called to live only for ourselves. We were called to serve, to show up when others are hurting, carry what is heavy, protect those who cannot protect themselves, and step into hard places with courage, humility, and love.

Serving is not always comfortable or noticed, and it does not require recognition. Sometimes it costs us our time, energy, sleep, pride, and comfort, but that is the calling.

Our fitness, the training we do on our own time and our own dime, and the time spent reading, studying, reflecting, and applying what we learn are not simply for personal achievement. They prepare us to serve others more effectively when they need us most.

Jesus did not lead by demanding to be served. He led by washing feet, touching the broken, feeding the hungry, healing the hurting, and ultimately giving Himself for others. If we claim to follow Him, service cannot be something we offer only when it is convenient. It must become part of who we are and how we live.

The highest calling is not status, attention, praise, or recognition. The highest calling is to love God, love people, and faithfully serve with whatever He has placed in our hands.

“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

- Mark 10:45
