Let's rally around Chase as he completes his treatments. 

 

The Act 34 Hearing for the high school construction project is now scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, February 17, with a snow date of Thursday, February 19, in the board room at the administration building, 200 Church Street, Landisville.

An Act 34 Hearing in Pennsylvania is a mandatory public meeting for school districts to present and get community input on major school construction or substantial additions, detailing the project's need, costs, and options, ensuring transparency for projects over certain cost thresholds, with requirements for public notice and comment periods before further board approval. 

Registration for 10U, 12U, and 14U Travel Baseball closes on January 18. Any child who lives in the Hempfield School District is eligible to play. If financial difficulty is preventing you from registering, please reach out for assistance: MYAAbaseball17554@gmail.com.

Following the close of registration, Travel Player Evaluations will be held at Keystone State Sports in Manheim from Mon 1/26 through Wed 1/28. Additional details will be shared soon.

After evaluations, your next communication regarding the Spring season will come directly from your head coach. Please note that it typically takes a couple of weeks to form teams and assign coaches.

2026 Spring Instructional Ball and T‑Ball registration remains open until February 22, 2026.

There is also still time to join one of our Winter Workout sessions. Both 2‑week and 1‑week registration options are available.

All registrations can be completed online near the bottom of this page:

At Farmdale, we use golden fish tickets to reward students for being respectful, responsible, safe, and engaged. A student’s love for the song Golden inspired us to create our own Farmdale version for Falcon Friday. What began as a fun idea became a hit—students sang it all day, building community and reinforcing expectations. Life at Farmdale is golden when we work together!
