Dallas Post Dallas, PA April 25, 2001 Showcase (continued from page 1) our letter and they were really happy with us,” said Amy Za- merowski. “We know that some of the other residents were sorry they didn't when they heard how much we did,” said Shelby Swan, the fourth member of the group. The gymnasium was filled to capacity with project displays of various volunteer activities and benefits. For example, John Popko helped build a house with Habitat for Humanity; Melissa Sorber, a candy striper volunteer, connected with the 74-year-old founder of the Can- dy Striper program; Kieran Lu- carino and Arlette Kline worked 40 hours at St. Vincent's soup kitchen and collected 500 cans of food for that organization; Nathan Peterson and Jamin Smith’s band held a benefit con- cert for the American Cancer Society; B.J. Lewis and Liam McHugh collected 167 coats for distribution to area needy; Ja- son Harabin and Ken Sprau cleaned up a wooded wetlands area near Lehman Jackson Ele- mentary School where they will mount bird houses they built; and Aerial Frost and Patricia Kipp silk-screened tee shirts for the United Way. “We probably saved them $5,000 to $7,000,” said Patricia. “We've finished 1,000 already but they need 500 more,” she said as she demonstrated how they were done. The girls had the equipment set up in the’ school’s main hallway and worked on the shirts during the showcase. Students can highlight their interests and talents through their projects. “I've been train- ing English setters for a few years,” said Ryan Spencer, whose research paper was about the history of the breed. Ed Wallo displayed pictures of a two-story horse barn he built. “We milled all of the lumber for the barn at our own saw mill,” he explained. John Schaffer built a beauti- ful Pennsylvania Dutch chest and Stephen Moyer demonstrat- ed his skill at fly-tying. “This is my hobby actually,” he said. “I fish a lot and I only use my own flies.” Students also showed their volunteer spirit through the Learn and Serve program in the school district. “We have 17 students involved in that pro- gram,” said Gail Keen, biology teacher at the high school. “They go into the elementary schools and present science projects. They are totally re- sponsible for finding the project, making sure it meets curricu- lum needs, adapting it to the age level and picking the other students to assist them. This year’s seniors were the first class to benefit from the program when it started and they wanted to give back to the district. They've been terrific.” Various science projects from Learn and Serve were detailed at the showcase. Luke Kasper and Nick Leonard took owl pel- lets into an elementary class- room. Students pulled them apart to find the bones of the animal that was the owl's last meal. “Some of the kids were disgusted at first but then they all got excited as they got more involved,” said Luke. It was a very moving experi- ence to see all of the talent and work so proudly displayed. “They grumble a lot in the be- ginning,” said Cathy Wolfe. “But it is just wonderful what they can accomplish.” All of the hard work culmi- nates with their half-hour oral presentation. “We'll start work- ing with next year’s seniors in just a few weeks,” said Wolfe.

Lemmond and Gov. Ridge to see the results.” Mrs. Cathy Wolfe Senior Project Committee POST PHOTOS/M.B.
