NOCTI

NOCTI and NIMS season is here!  Seniors -- we wish you the best of luck!

What can you do the night before a test to make sure you're at the top of your game?

1.  Prepare things the night before:  Make sure you have what you need -- pencils, calculator, glasses, all gathered and packed, waiting for you by the door (so you don't forget it).  

2.  Wake up your mind and body:  Give yourself plenty of time to wake up.  Does a shower help you in the morning?  How about a coffee (minus too much sugar so you don't carb-crash in the middle of your test.)  Your mind is bright -- use it!

3.  Wear appropriate attire:  Within school rules, be as comfortable as you can.  If your clothing is too itchy or too tight, your focus will sway from your task -- doing your very best!

4.  Eat a smart breakfast:  This might include eggs, bacon or sausage, and a piece of fruit.  If you overload on grains like a big, gigantic bowl of sugar pops or ginormous chocolate muffin from Dunkin, you'll be tired from the get-go.  Think healthy!

5.  Warm up your brain:  Read a little, sing the words to a song, look over (with confidence) your study material before you walk into the room.  You "got" this!

6.  Allow ample time to arrive:  Just like work -- 15 minutes early is ON TIME.  You don't want to be rushed and wound up when you come in.  In some cases (SAT), students are not admitted late!  Be on time!

Most importantly -- be confident.  You have worked hard to get to this point.  Your teachers have taught you well.  After all -- any test is simply this:  A Celebration of Knowledge!

Prom Dreams ~ by Savannah Harris

"Life has "issues" and we encourage them to find a solution that fits." 

Dresses in every color of the rainbow waited for just the right girl on Friday, March 18th and Saturday, March 19th.

Lawrence County CTC sends a big THANKS to Feed My Sheep, Diane D’Amore Mangino, Kurt (Machine Tool Tech Teacher at LCCTC) and Melissa Miller, Leslie McClellan, LCCTC students and several from the community who helped to make the dreams for many girls from all across Lawrence County come true.

Over 120 FREE prom gowns, shoes, purses and accessories, some with tags still in tact, were gifted to students in need at Feed My Sheep and Prom Dreams of Lawrence County.  

Several LCCTC students were able to earn community service hours by setting up, cleaning up , tearing down and modeling some of the beautiful gowns on display. 

"It was beautiful, almost like a dream! Knowing that all these beautiful gowns were on display for us to choose from" said one student from LCCTC.  "Life can be tough, but this will really help me enjoy myself at the next dance."  

Another student from LCCTC said "It was a very fun and an exciting experience to see so many girls get these beautiful dresses!  I was very excited for them." 

Feed My Sheep is an outreach ministry where people can come for spiritual and physical help in New Castle, PA. People from different churches in Lawrence County work alongside the staff of Feed My Sheep to find jobs or simply help anyway they can. 

LCCTC would like to thank Feed My Sheep and Prom Dreams of Lawrence County for all the beautiful gowns. LCCTC would also like to thank Feed My Sheep, for the time and devotion they put into this event. Many of the girls from LCCTC would like to  thank you for your generosity and time! They cannot wait to wear those beautiful gowns they have received!  We cannot wait to see them!

If you or anyone you know may need help, Feed My Sheep Ministries may help you!  They invite you come and attend a service, or even join them for a cup of coffee and lunch. 

What IS a Keystone?

According to dictionary.com, the "keystone" is "a central stone at the summit of an arch, locking the whole together."  It is a "key position" -- one of great importance.  It is able to do its job -- even under pressure.  It is greatly valued.  

While every adult wishes the very best for us, they understand that we must prepare us for the trials ahead; life is never without pressure.  

Every adult in our school wants us to work to our greatest potential -- from the Administration who works diligently to make sure we have the tools you need, to the teachers who work with great determination to ensure we have learned all we can, to the office staff who makes sure every "t" is crossed and every "i" is dotted, and even to the cafeteria staff who provides us with nutritious meals so our bellies don't grumble and we can focus.

It's time to prove what we know.  It's time for us to prove that we have a great educational system.  It's time for us to make our teachers proud of us.  It's time to do our very best.  

We're ready.  We're able.  We can do this!

Wee Welcomes to our LCCTC Staff

With spring comes hope.  It is a time for the weather to warm, for the flowers to bloom, and for the birds to return to their nests to begin their new families.  

Giada Marie Lamenza, 8 lbs 3 oz! 
Welcome to the world!

This spring, the staff at Lawrence County CTC has welcomed wee ones, as well!  The Eagle Staff would like to welcome Giada Marie Lamenza, daughter of Mrs. Lamenza -- our front office secretary; Quinn Rose Ovial, daughter of Mr. Ovial -- learning support teacher; and Aleya Weisenstein, daughter of Mrs. Weisenstein -- math teacher.

We hope to be role models to these precious lives who have brought into the world. We would like to show them the "tricks of our trades" needed to successfully travel through the 12 years of school. 

Quinn Rose Ovial, 7lbs 8oz! 
Welcome to the world!

Imagine, Giada, Quinn, and Aleya -- by the time you are seventeen years young, we will be thirty-six or thirty-seven years old!  But we're not too young today to pass along words of wisdom. 

Aleya Jaylin Weisenstein 8 lbs 11 oz! 
Welcome to the world!

One piece of advice we can share with you can be best spoken by Maeve Binchy, novelist, short-story writer, and playwright: "The great thing about getting older is that you ... can see the good in things much more easily rather than getting enraged as you used to do when you were young."  We hope you always see the good in life; you are blessed to begin your lives with wonderful parents, so your odds are pretty good.

We bid a sweet, "Hello to the world" to these beautiful babies who were born this school year. Welcome to our LCCTC family!

It's More Than Flipping a Switch ~ Kylie Smith

Imagine this: You’re sitting at the movies with your favorite melted buttery popcorn and a sizzling soda in the cup holder next to you. But wait, that's not all-- your seat reclines with the push of a button! 

Recently, the Electrical Occupation students and their instructor, Mr. Montini, traveled to West Mifflin, PA to work on a 10-plex cinema for the Gold Star Group. 

Both A and B weeks work on the wiring for the fancy new reclining seats along with the exit signs, decorative lights, sound cabinets and digital projectors! 

“What the kids have been doing on this job cannot be simulated in a classroom,” says electrical occupations teacher Mr. Montini.  “This is the real thing!”. 

It is very relieving to know there is a comfy seat waiting for us to enjoy our favorite movies -- all thanks to our EO students!
