TubeSOCK goes Live!

February 22, 2010

Under the supervision of Mr. Lorson, the school's multimedia class each semester produces the morning video announcements. Groups of students takes turns anchoring, editing, directing, and producing the morning announcements. While production of the announcements each day is just one part of all that students learn in this course, students definitely are engaged and have a great time learning about some very cool 21st century skills. Kudos go to Mr. Lorson for making this happen and to our students for being a class act in their productions!

Lancer Swimmers Do Well with Williamsport

February 17, 2010

Loyalsock has many talented swimmers, but they sometimes go unrecognized since they swim for Williamsport in a co-op that has been going on for 4 years. The small addition of 11 swimmers is actually a huge asset to the Millionaire swim team. This season has been extremely successful for both boys and girls. The boys are currently undefeated in the conference, and the girls ended Danville's winning streak. Jacob Mackey, Evan Nardone, Matt Runtas, and Williamsport's Trevor Harris broke Shamokin's pool record for the 200 medley relay. Loyalsock swimmers are also going to be a big part of the team at districts, which will be held in Wilkes Barre on March 6 and 7. The Millionaires have high hopes this year, including sending some swimmers to states. Evan Nardone, Bryan Nardone, and Molly Serfass will all be swimming the distance events, which are the 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle. Matt Runtas is Loyalsock's and Williamsport's best sprinter, which he hopes to prove by beating the team record of 22.5 in the 50 freestyle. Reid and Ryan Hartzell, Catherine Campana, Chris Stiefield, Alex Isaacson, and Emily Trautwein will each be swimming various individual events with the hopes of dropping time and earning points for the boys' and girls' teams.
