Emily Niditch, daughter of Dr. Scott and Stacy Niditch, is the February Student of the Month, nominated by LTHS's social studies department.  Currently, Emily is #1 in her graduating class, and she is highly active in her school and community and has been recognized at a variety of levels for her work and dedication to others.  In 2012, she was one of 19 Loyalsock students recognized by the College Board as an AP Scholar.  She is a member of the National Honor Society, and was the Hugh O’ Brian Youth Leadership Representative for Loyalsock in 2011.  In addition, Emily was nominated for and received the President’s Volunteer Service Award Bronze Level for Community Service, and she was the recipient of the Johns Hopkin’s Center For Talented Youth since 2005.  Emily has been on the high honor roll for the past four years, and her favorite subjects are math and the social sciences.  Emily plans on attending a four year university majoring in Economics, and will choose from the schools to which she has applied, including, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, and Brown, among more.  Another strength of Emily's resides with the amount of community service she has undertaken over the past several years.  Emily received a Gold Award for Girl Scouts that involved creating a health and fitness program using modern technology, like the Wii, at the Hillside Assisted Living Center. She also received a Silver Award by doing a door to door Breast Cancer Awareness program and fundraiser for Kathryn Candor Lundy Breast Health Center. Emily has also coordinated relief projects for Unicef, Christmas Baskets at the Salvation Army, and a school-wide Red Cross blood drive as President of Key Club.
