Four LTHS Eagle Scouts Recognized

At last week's school board meeting, four LTHS students were recognized for their efforts within the community as part of their culminating projects in which they earned the rank of Eagle Scout.  From a variety of sources, it is safe to say that, of the thousands of students who choose to begin an experience as a Boy Scout and stick with the program as they grow and actually finish the task of becoming an Eagle Scout, there are few students who actually complete this extensive process.  Loyalsock is proud to recognize four young men who were given citations at our recent school board meeting.  Special congratulations and thanks to the families of these young men on their efforts as an Eagle Scout, including from left to right:  Brian Patel, Giacomo DiNicola, Isaac Hoffman, and Andru McCusker (along with Mr. Grantier, Superintendent).

Key Clubs Spreads Holiday Cheer

We are so fortunate to have youth in our building who choose to participate in activities and school organizations that promote volunteerism.  Such was observed last year during the Flood of 2011 that devastated the Montoursville area, the students who volunteered time on Staten Island for the Hurricane Sandy relief work, and for experiences like the one had last evening at Valley View Nursing Home in Loyalsock.  Several Key Club students, headed by advisor Miss Jennifer Beck, sang holiday songs and visited with a variety of elderly folks.  Special thanks to those students who lit up the night in a special way for those folks in our community!

LTHS Hurricane Sandy Relief Trip

On Tuesday, November 20, a bus load of students and adults from LTHS boarded a bus and headed to a devastated area of Staten Island, NY:  an area hit very hard by Hurricane Sandy.  Borne out of an idea by one of our English teachers, Mrs. Kelly June, a quick approval by our school board and fast preparations in order to get there prior to Thanksgiving.  It was amazing to see how many of our students quickly rose to the challenge and joining us in a significant volunteer effort to assist thousands in need.  We are so proud of our students and adults who chose to go and assist for a single day.  The lessons learned with on this relief "field trip" are the pinnacle experiences that students will remember for the rest of their lives.  We encourage you watch the brief video below to see what we experienced as a school that day.
