Members of
the 2007-08 Key Club
undertook a project to help
students in a Russian
school in Afghanistan with
school supplies and hygiene
articles such as toothbrushes
and toothpaste. The club sold
ornaments which were created
by the Art Club for a
Christmas tree in the main
lobby of LAHS with donated
supplies from the students
and staff at LAHS. The
proceeds from the sale of the
ornaments were used to
purchase and send eleven
boxes of supplies to LT. Col.
Stephany Hartshirn of the
205th RSAC Navy Garrison,
stationed in Khandahar,
Afghanistan.
Complete project information
is available from the LAHS
web area.
The LAHS Key Club was
awarded 1st Place at the 62nd
Annual Pennsylvania District
Key Club Convention, which
was held at Hershey on
February 29-March 2, 2008.
The first place award at the
State level advanced the
project into the
international competition,
which took place at the
International Convention in
Denver, Colorado July 9-13,
2008. Club advisors and
members were notified in late
August that their service
project had received 2nd
place in the International
Competition.
Congratulations to
the 2007-08 Key Club members,
co advisors Randy Fluke and
Vicky Henry, and to ALL the
students and staff at LAHS
who helped, not only to make
the project a success, but to
give aid to those in need. |
Kevin
Cahill, a 7th grade student at Lewistown Middle School, has
recently been named as one of the top entries in the 2008
Alcohol Awareness Poster Contest. This contest challenged
students of all ages to create a poster discouraging underage
drinking. This year, more than 1,600 entries were submitted to
the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. Only fifty-seven students
were chosen as award winners.
