One of the Special Things That Happens Around Our School

April 23, 2010

We recently became aware of a chilling event that unfortunately occurred in another high school in the state. An AP Biology teacher from the Neshannock Township High School in New Castle, PA experienced a massive heart attack while teaching his AP Bio class and, sadly, passed away. News of this event quickly spread across the state through a variety of sources – one of which being through the contacts of the state CFF (Classrooms for the Future) coordinators/coaches. The dilemma for a specific group of students at Neshannock was that the substitute teacher now responsible for preparing student s for a rigorous AP Bio exam needed a variety of materials, resources, and information in order to help this class do as well as possible when the test is given in May. Through the help of Mrs. Linda LaCoe, Loyalsock’s CFF coordinator/coach, Mrs. Kindra Brelsford, our AP Bio teacher, got in touch with Neshannock’s teacher with a variety of those resources to assist in the teaching of those students who have just lost their teacher. Mrs. Brelsford and Mrs. LaCoe are to be commended for their tremendous efforts in assisting another school with such a burdensome task. The truly eerie part of the story is that Neshannock’s mascot is also the Lancers! In doing so, we, as a school, and Mrs. Brelsford, as one of our teachers, again showed people from another part of the state how classy our people are in Loyalsock – the students and faculty alike! Thanks, Mrs. Brelsford and Mrs. LaCoe, for the contributions you have made to other students in this very unique and special experience as well as to our students each and every day.

Cross-Age Teaching Program Spotlight!

For approximately twenty-five (25) years, Mr. Stanzione, one of our school counselors, has facilitated a program that looks to work with young people in middle school to understand the dangers, effects, and recent research on drug and alcohol trends among our youth. The Cross-Age Teaching program at Loyalsock is designed to make an impact with sixth grade students regarding the pressures experienced by most young people in our society today. High school students are trained for several days and then develop their own curriculum that is designed with various activities to get to know and work with students at the middle school level. It is an extremely beneficial program that we can only hope grows and continues making a difference with young people who will soon enter our high school. Special thanks and congratulations are extended to Mrs. Stanzione on her tremendous efforts and to the young people, both past and present, who have been Cross-Age teachers. Together, we can continue to make an impact with young people in making them all aware of the dangers and effects of drugs and alcohol on the youth of today.
