LTHS Plastics and Polymers Program Featured on WVIA-TV

Last year, Loyalsock entered into a cooperative with the Pennsylvania College of Technology's plastics and polymers program.   An enormously growing field, Loyalsock students in Mr. Lorson's Engineering class last year worked together with a Penn College crew in the development of a program in plastics.  Students learned about the growing field, and participated in a model car competition which included the design of a car using plastics technology.  The joint venture was chronicled by WVIA-TV and the Careers that Work initiative at Penn College.  The product documenting their work has arrived. The segment is due to air on WVIA-TV in the near future.  For now, follow this link to learn more about this very exciting opportunity for our students and our program with Penn College.  Congratulations to Mr. Lorson and his Engineering class from last school year in a very successful experience!

Snow Ball a Hit

Last Saturday evening, students showed up in their best attire and rocked the night away at our annual winter formal.  Typically held later in the winter, this year's student council group put on a fantastic event with a "snow ball" theme.  Special thanks to the student leaders and advisors Miss Warren, Mr. VanFleet, and Mrs. Williams for all of the amazing decorations, food, and fun.  At the event, our Mr. 'Sock court was introduced.  A special twist for this year's crowning involves naming Mr. 'Sock at half time of the first home boys' basketball game with Montoursville on Friday evening.

Key Club Spreads Holiday Cheer

Members of Loyalsock Township Key Club and the Lycoming College Circle K took time to spread the holiday spirit to some private nursing homes on Tuesday, December 8.


A total of 31 carolers piled onto a city bus on Tuesday armed with songbooks, holiday cards, and elf costumes. The idea of this outing was to visit small nursing homes that don’t receive many guests throughout the holidays. Miss Jennifer Beck, Loyalsock’s Key Club advisor, said “When I called to check with the homes, all managers were so grateful and commented that no one came to spread cheer last year.” The students sang for the residents of Tilburg’s Home for the Young at Heart, Insinger’s on Campbell Street, Insinger’s in South Williamsport, and Our House-Your Home.

The residents were visibly enthused by their spirited guests. Circle K made elf costumes for Key Clubbers Bryan Keith, Eric Djikowski, Jonathan Havens, Michael Hayes and Joe Cipriani. Tessa Harris, a sophomore, stated, “It was so rewarding to see how much they [the residents] enjoyed having us. Some sand and danced along, and I could tell they appreciated it.” Many students felt the same, and Miss Beck plans to make this an annual event.

"A Date Which Will Live in Infamy"

For those of us who are decendents of relatives of the "Greatest Generation," we should take pause and recall the events on this date in 1941.  FDR's famous speech and the 2001 film "Pearl Harbor" recounts much of what our fore-fathers (and mothers) withstood on this fateful date.  It is equally important that we continue to educate today's youth of the historical events that made the United States vulnerable then (and now) to other world powers.

EcoAct Club Going Green

We have a variety of students who are very interested in preserving our natural resources.  For some, it is a passion.  Each week, members of the school's EcoAct club take turns going around the school and collecting a variety of containers in order to recycle.  Headed by their advisor, Mrs. Kindra Brelsford, EcoAct  recycles 400 plastic bottles, 150 aluminum cans, 50 glass containers, and empties on a very regular basis various paper bins (including magazines) each month.  It is not uncommon to see students doing so during REACH and after school.  In fact, two students, seen in these pictures, take paper and magazines to the community recycling centers with their own vehicles.  Kudos to each of them, and to the other twenty students and Mrs. Brelsford, for truly making a difference in Loyalsock's attempt at going green!

Lancer Football Defeated by Lancaster Catholic

If you happened to go to this past Saturday's PIAA game at Shamokin, it was definitely cold, snowy, and sloppy. But, it was obvious our Lancer football team came to fight. Slowing down a very powerful Lancaster Catholic team, our offense and defense both showed it could play with anyone. Going against the number one team in the state is no small task, but our young men made everyone proud and had a chance to defeat the state's highest ranked team - it just ran out of time. Congrats to our young men, their families, and a dedicated coaching staff on such a tremendous season. You can read more on this season's Lancer football team here.
