What started off as just a day of activities, only a few ideas turned into a thoughtful gift. Three students from LCCTC’s Peer Leadership joined together and brainstormed a fun way to say “Thank you” to our own, Officer Preisel and the NCPD.

| "K9 Aldo has a very friendly personality but knows when it's time to go to work." |
Here is the result of their collaborative session: On March 14th, Peer Leadership will be hosting an assembly to celebrate Pie Day. The title is sort of a nod to our Math Department at LCCTC because it is 3.14 (the third month/the fourteenth day) is often known as Pi Day, but behind our “Pie Day,” we have a sweet twist: The day will include a pie eating contest where one student from each shop week will be nominated by their shop to participate. Let’s hope everyone likes apple pie -- with whipped cream!

| "Bojar is utilized in 13 Counties in Western Pennsylvania for Explosive detection. Bojar’s favorite activity is playing fetch." |
There will also be an event where our two gym teachers, Mr Simon and Ms. K, will stand on a chair and get duct taped to the wall; we’ll pull the chair and see if they stick! Students can purchase the tape during both lunches. All proceeds will be donated to the New Castle Police Departments K9 Unit.
 |
| In addition to locating drugs, "K9 Champ assists patrol in the apprehension of dangers offenders." |
Finally, to prove the strength of our K9 division from the New Castle Police Department, Officer Preisel offered to wear the attack suit and participate in a demonstration with one of the K9s.
 |
| "K9 Diesel also enjoys playing ball with his handler Patrolman John Charmo. K9 Diesel has been on duty with the NCPD since July 2012." |
Between the pie-eating contest, the duct tape dangle, and the K9 demonstration, March 14th should be quite the interesting day! Make sure you attend so you don’t want to miss out!
