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.
