The school gets a big assist from Acme.
Erial Elementary School guidance counselor Janet McCarthy submitted the following to Patch on Thursday: This year, Erial Elementary School was able to help 17 families in need for the Thanksgiving holiday. Our staff, parents and students donated their time, money, food and turkeys to help make this event a huge success. On distribution day, we were in need of four more turkeys but did not have enough funds. Thanks to the generosity of the Acme on Cross Keys Road in Sicklerville we were able to fulfill this void. They graciously donated four complete turkey dinners (including a turkey, stuffing and potatoes). They refused to accept any monetary contribution. We are very fortunate and proud to have Acme supporting our community.

Is the Sicklerville store on the chopping block?
Although 38 Acme supermarkets—including three in the Delaware Valley—will close due to underperformance, the Sicklerville store will survive.

The chain, which owns Malvern-based Acme, spared the Sicklerville store. According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, Morrisville and Sharon Hill, PA, stores and Glassboro will see their Acmes close before Dec. 1. Wayne Sales, SuperValu's president, said in the statement: These decisions are never easy because of the impact a store closure has on our team members, our customers, and our communities. Today’s announcement …

The grocery chain's most recent quarterly report raised the question of whether it might be up for sale.
Acme Markets parent company SuperValu Inc. on Monday replaced president and CEO Craig Herkert with board chairman Wayne Sales, less than three weeks after the grocery chain's dismal quarterly report.

In the report issued July 12, the company reported falling sales, vowed to cut costs and said it planned to withhold investor dividends. Moreover, its stated plan to "explore strategic alternatives" was characterized by The Philadelphia …

Join the Great American Backyard Campout tonight for family fun in the great outdoors.
Ever feel like you have to literally push your kids out the door to get them to play outside? Grab the whole family this weekend and participate in tonight's seventh annual Great American Backyard Campout. This National Wildlife Federation’s fundraising event encourages parents and kids alike to trade screen time for green time by spending a night under the stars. In the last two decades, childhood has literally moved indoors with kids spending more than seven hours per day in front of electronic media, according to the National Wildlife Federation.
