Winter 'Snowball' Formal a Good Time!

We hosted the first ever Snowball Court at this year’s winter formal on December 9^th. Over two hundred students in formal attire attended to watch the crowning of the first Snow Princess. The court was made up of five ninth grade girls who each chose a charity to represent. On the court were Hannah Bower, escorted by Brennan Casale; Miah Dunkleberger, escorted by Michale Pastore; Lydia Hall, escorted by Tommy Baggett; Gianna Rockoff, escorted by Elijah Solley; and Makenna Winner, escorted by her brother Brady Winner. Loyalsock students crowned Makenna Winner as the 2011 Snow Ball Princess and the LTHS Student Government donated $200 to Makenna’s charity, the Wounded Warriors Project. Other charities represented were the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Special Olympics, and the March of Dimes. Student government also made donations of $25 to each of these charities. Overall, the night was a success as the students had a blast.  The Student Government thanks all who were involved, and special congratulations to Makenna Winner on being crowned Snow Princess!

LTHS Receives Grant for Greenhouse

The holiday season was especially appealing this year for us at Loyalsock as we learned just before the break that the grant that was written for a greenhouse project in the high school was approved and an award of $30,000 was granted by The First Community Foundation.  You can read more about this organization's efforts here.  We are so excited by this amazing news!  Special thanks go to Mrs. Sarah Puderbach, LTHS Science Department Curriculum Coordinator and Mrs. Sherry Griggs, Supervisor of Curriculum and Instruction, for co-authoring this grant.  Thanks to their efforts, plans for a good-sized greenhouse are under way with construction to occur sometime in the spring to early summer.

Holiday Concert a Beautiful Event

 

Each year, the last week before the holidays is an absolute blur for many.  With last minute plans and purchases for friends and loved ones, many of our students are also equally busy celebrating the season by entertaining full house crowds at the many concerts held throughout the school district.  Special thanks to the students in our Lancer Band and Lancer Choir on a very special and well done performance that week!  Clearly, Mr. Barrett and Mr. Saville-Andree had everyone well prepared to host a great evening of holiday music spanning multiple cultural genres and cultures.  Also, special thanks to members of Knight Music for performing the next morning in the high school lobby as students entered school for the last day of school before the holidays!
