The LycoCTC Student Advisory group has recently organized a number of ways for our students to get involved with helping support and raise awareness in the community.

* Diabetes Awareness - Students and staff wore blue to support diabetes awareness

* Thanksgiving Food Drive - A competition was held to see which class could bring in the most food to donate! LycoCTC donated 203 food items to the Central PA Food Bank!

* Dwell Orphan Care - Donations of gift cards, forever stamps, and money are being accepted to help with foster families and children.

The students in Auto class are learning to sand and weld.

The Automotive class had a special guest. Dakota graduated 5 years ago from our Auto class. He now owns his own heavy equipment repair company. He did a presentation on rebuilding a hydraulic cylinder for the students.

Students learned to configure a RAID array (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) to combine the storage space of multiple hard drives.

Students from our flex class recently re-built a park bench that sits outside of Automotive. The students disassembled the bench, prepped and painted the metal sides, cut new wood, sanded and finished all the new wood, then re-assembled the unit.

Students are practicing their defense tactics in the Criminal Justice class. They learn defensive counter-strikes, pressure point control tactics, balance displacement and takedowns.

The Culinary students had a fun contest to see who could carve the best pumpkin. This gave them a chance to practice their knife skills. After the winner was chosen they took all the pumpkins and made pumpkin pies. Just in time for Thanksgiving!

The student teachers continue to work with the preschool students every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in the LycoTykes Preschool! Everyone had a wonderful time preparing for the Thanksgiving holiday with fun filled activities.

She is now a Deputy with Lycoming County Sheriff's Office. Odessa had this to say about Lyco, " LycoCTC was a great stepping stone to lead me to where I am today!
