Students in Ms. Murray’s Driver’s Ed class were tasked with finding an organization that they would consider supporting. The organizations are non-profit and their primary purpose is service to the community. Once they found an organization, they had to create a PA plate to represent them and their organizations. A few examples chosen were breast cancer awareness and suicide prevention as well as various colleges and sports teams.

In chemistry with Mr. Crawford, students are learning how electrons of atoms emit different colors of light as they go from their ground state to their excited state. Different elements give off their own distinct wavelengths of light, which cause different colors.

Congratulations to this week’s Artist of the Week, Kurrah L. Bohner. She does an amazing job of jumping in headfirst into every art challenge presented to her. Kurrah also has a great respect for the visual arts and really enjoys learning about new art techniques. Recently, she has been the recipient of the Judge Greevy Award – Best in Show at this summer’s Lycoming County Fair in the colored pencil division. This is her second Greevy award during her high school art career. The award is given to only two works of art in Lycoming County that display mastery in their craft. Kurrah has also been chosen to represent Montgomery High School’s visual art program for the WVIA Artist of the Week broadcast. Her artwork will be displayed on the WVIA channel along with other representatives across the state. After high school, Kurrah plans on attending Bella Capelli Academy in with a concentration towards hair and nails. When asked what art means to her, she stated, “Art allows me to feed into my creative obsessions. There is no right or wrong answer. Art is completely subjective.”
