Foundation Finds Matching Funds
Foundation Finds Matching Funds
The Brockway Schools & Community Foundation found a way to connect local businesses to classrooms in the school.
“Businesses could adopt a specific classroom, grade level, or department depending on their own company’s goals,” Lisa Rutherford, the executive director of the Foundation, said. “Requests were then paired with the corporate donation which most closely matched both parties’ goals.”
$250 from Brockway Drug to put math facts on the stair risers. $250 from Dr. Devlin’s office that helped the Library, and $500 from Brockway Sportsmen’s Club to buy pelts for animal identification for the ag class.
That last one may seem strange, but it is a huge help for the ag classes.
“We use them to teach students how to identify different animals,” Brockway ag teacher Matt Holt said. “We have some now, but we need better-quality ones as well as ones that we didn’t have before. Our class can then use them to learn about different animal species.”

Brockway Has Athletic Director of the Year
Brockway Has Athletic Director of the Year
Peter Grecco is a very busy person.
Not only is he the athletic director at Brockway Area High School, his also the district’s transportation director. Plus, he is a member of the Pennsylvania Athletic Director Association, which recently named him Regional Athletic Director of the Year.
This association consists of five different regions. Brockway is in Region 3, which includes all schools from Districts 5, 6, 9, and 10. He was nominated by other athletic directors in the region.
“Once you get nominated, you basically do everything you have to do for a resume,” Grecco explained. “You have to list every event you’ve hosted, everything you’ve done, what your teaching certification is, and all that good stuff.”
Grecco was very shocked when finding out he won the award. He could not believe he was chosen.
“It means a lot that they realize how hard what I do is, how many boards and associations I belong to,” he said. “It’s more than just someone here seeing what I do. It’s an outside person seeing all the hard work I put in.”
Grecco also has to make sure all of the sports and transportation at Brockway are taken care of. This adds to all of the work he does for the association. He is proud of all of his athletes.
“For a small school, we get a lot of respect in the state of Pennsylvania,” he said. “This fall was one of our greatest seasons! We have a lot of teams involved in district play. I got a lot of phone calls congratulating me on the award, but also the success of the kids here in Brockway. That means a lot to me as well.”
Peter Grecco gives a lot of credit to everyone involved at Brockway High for the success in sports. He credits the people for making Brockway a great place to go to school to learn and play sports. This includes, administration, teachers, students, and fans. He thinks our students are in a great atmosphere.
“What happens in sports is an extension of the classroom,” he said. “Our students want to be competitive, not only in school but on the field.”

Step Up To Math Facts
Step Up To Math Facts
At Brockway Area High school, students get a chance to practice mathematics skills while climbing from one floor to another.
Superintendent Jeff Vizza met with the department heads to identify a goal for each building. Elementary Teacher Mary Beth Yahner explained what she chose.
“As math department head, I picked an increase of knowledge for basic facts,” Mrs. Yahner said. “Brockway Drug awarded us money through the Foundation’s ‘Adopt A Classroom’ program.”
Getting the money was just step one. Yahner had to get the pieces made.
“We partnered with Jeff Tech to create vinyl math facts and the custodial staff installed the facts on the stair risers,” she said. She added that the students are excited to see the new facts. They can reinforce formulas and facts while going from class to class. They can also go into the stairwell and use the formulas on worksheets.
“Research has shown that practicing math facts while doing physical activity promotes the brain's ability to internalize information,” Yahner said.
This is a good way for kids to learn while also having fun doing it.

Backpack Program Gives Food
Backpack Program Gives Food
The Backpack Program is a program that helps families in need. This program gives food to students every Friday, and the program even continues into the summer.
In Brockway, this program was started in the elementary school, but soon spread to the junior-senior high school. Fifteen families are currently helped at the high school. The guidance departments are in charge of making sure there is enough food for all the students served. The agriculture departments, the teachers, the community, and the guidance departments are all involved in bringing in food.
Many things are put inside the backpacks: canned fruit, soups, chips, non-glass items, crackers, pop tarts, snack foods, ramen, and many more things.
“Having extra food can help these families financially,” Mrs. Heather Anderson said. “It will also help the students get a good meal.”
Teachers donate food or money to wear jeans at school, but they randomly donate to the program.
“I think for the community it is a great opportunity for them to give back to the students and families in need,” Anderson said. “I think the families that receive help truly appreciate it. We are always looking for new families. We are willing to help any family in need.”
Mrs. Anderson added, “If the community would like to donate to this cause, they can reach out to me at the high school. They can also just give a money donation if they want to.”

"The Shaving" Raises Money
"The Shaving" Raises Money
Brockway’s food backpack program got enough food to last the school year due to a fundraiser held at the school.
Mr. Kyle Norman and his ag students got donations. The draw? The opportunity to shave heads or beards of teachers. The candidates for the beard shaving were Mr. Matt Holt, Mr. Shawn Smith, Mr. Zac Weaver, and Mr. Justin Parson.
“My face is cold, but if that’s the worst thing to happen it’s okay,” Mr. Smith said after his shaving.
“It’s been very very cold without a beard, I had to wear a hat this morning. It was quite sad!”
Mr. Holt said his lack of beard and hair was receiving a lot of attention. Students are taking pictures, sending them to their friends. It is the hot topic of Brockway Area Junior-Senior High School.
“I think all the attention will wear off eventually,” Mr. Smith said, probably meaning when the beards grew back.
Mr. Tim Chelednik decided if they raised $100 he wouldn’t have to shave his beard. He did in fact meet his goal and got to keep his long face locks.
“Every time we reached the goal for him to shave his face, it went up,” lamented Jeremy Duckett, a student of Brockway high school.
A few of the teachers were hesitant about getting their beards buzzed off.
“I was dedicated, but it’s for the kids, so everything's good,” Mr. Holt said.
Mr. Smith initially had worried what his daughters would think about his beard.
“They’ve never seen me without a beard,” he explained. “We all had a good laugh, and I think that’s all that really matters.”
Mr. Parson's children -- teenagers -- had never seen him without a beard.
Thanks to the sacrifice of these teachers, The Shaving raised enough nonperishable food items and money to keep the Weekend Food Backpack Program running for the rest of the school year.

History Club Goes to Philadelphia
History Club Goes to Philadelphia
The social studies club went to the one and only Philadelphia. Mrs. Erin Schiafone led students Phil Shifter, Elijah Shifter, Cecilia Manno, Mariah Alanskas, Shaughny Richardson, Curtis Krug, Weston Hrin, Dalton Hook, and Jake Anderson to the City of Brotherly Love.
The past few years, the Social Studies Club went to Washington, D.C. During a club meeting, the destination was changed because the members did not want to see D.C. one more time.
“It is always fun to see all of the students’ learning come to life when they see the actual artifacts and locations that they’ve heard about for years in class,” Mrs. Schiafone said. “This year was so exciting because it was our first time going to Philadelphia. We were able to find several little shops and sites that weren’t events planned for the trip.”
While in Philadelphia the group saw Independence Hall, National Constitution Center, Franklin House, Museum of Art, Museum of the American Revolution, Penn’s Landing, Eastern State Penitentiary, Mutter Museum, Old Town, Declaration House, and more. They are also stopping at three historical sites to eat: City Tavern, the original Philly Cheesesteak stand, and Reading Terminal Market. On their way back, they took a detour to Valley Forge.
Schiafone’s said favorite part was Independence Hall. The students were the most excited about seeing all of the different historical buildings.
“The students were such troopers,” Schiafone said. “They walked a lot on not a lot of sleep.” They must have been very interested if they were walking a lot without much sleep. They were all very interested and engaged the trip, and I was very proud of them.”

Class Sees Ancient History
Class Sees Ancient History
Junior Chanell Britten joined her history class to one of the oldest human settlements in America. It’s called the Meadowcraft Rockshelter in Pittsburgh.
“They had displays at Meadowcraft that looked like Indian teepees and villages,” Chanell Britten said. “They showed us different centuries, starting back to the 1500s.”
The students on the trip were part of Mr. Shawn Smith’s anthropology class. The students got to learn about different ways people hunted in the past and even got to try some of those methods.
All of this was possible because of the age of the rockshelter.
“We went to the rockshelter and saw artifacts that date back to 16,000 years ago and an active archeology site,” Mr. Smith said. “It’s important for students to see how long people have lived in Pennsylvania and get a sense of history.”
Britten was accompanied on this trip by a group of her fellow classmates: Jake Anderson, Molly Wise, Salem Murray, Logan Bauer, and Ethan Buttery.
“The trip was actually fun,” Britten said. “I actually thought it would be boring, but the people that went made it a lot of fun and it was interesting to learn about the history. I’d totally go again!”

INAM Fights Against Bullying
INAM Fights Against Bullying
Brockway Area Junior-High School’s anti-bullying program, INAM (It’s Not About Me) has been training Brockway students in a new way to handle bullying.
INAM, a program started by Dr. Sharon Dippold, reminds students that a bully targets them because of issues within the bully’s life.
Jenna Ceriani a student at Brockway, is a part of the program.
“INAM had a skit made out for the 7th grade,” said Ceriani. “We showed them different situations with the bully and the victim and how they can avoid those situations.”
The 7th grade class got a chance to get involved and gain points to win a Redbox gift card. The students had to participate and tell each other that “It’s Not About Me.”
“This week has been extremely eventful,” Ceriani said. “We had a dance where people could wear white shirts and have people write compliments on their shirts.”
During 9th period on January 18, a group of the INAM students passed out glow-in-the-dark bracelets. These bracelets where the ticket to get into the dance. The dance was that night.
“My biggest advice for people that everyone goes through issues in their lives,” Ceriani said. “Bullies like to throw their emotions into actions and cause conflict with others. It could be a numerous amount of reasons why bullies do that.”
Bullying has been a problem everywhere and the INAM group are here to tell students that bullying isn’t about them.

Government Outreach
Government Outreach
Government Outreach is a trip where kids from a plethora of schools go and get to speak to Congressman Glenn “G.T.” Thompson. This year, the theme was about the current generation’s future. Thompson had a lot to say about getting to where you want to be.
“You’ll change career paths many times throughout your lifetime,” he said.
Speakers included a mayor, a professional runner, and plenty of other people who achieved a great deal of success. They shared insights into how they got where they are and how people of the younger generation can get there too.

Perry Winkler Inspires Artists
Perry Winkler Inspires Artists
DuBois-based artist Perry Winkler came to Brockway Area High School to teach art class students, thanks to the Artist-in-Residence program sponsored by the Brockway Schools & Community Education Foundation.
Brockway art teacher Melanie Oknefski looks forward to him coming every year.
“He normally comes for one week out of the year,” said Oknefski. “He brings some of his new work and teaches the students how to recreate them.”
The paintings that he brought this year included an outdoor theme. These paintings went from pictures of flowers in fields to horses running through water.
“I’m discovering, as time goes on, the art of teaching is coming up with different projects,” he said. “The cool thing about it is every time I do a landscape or a beach scene, there’s a whole range of different techniques you can teach.”
Winkler teaches watercolors to students in grades eight through 12. At Brockway and elsewhere, he has discovered that flexibility is the key to artistic success.
“Whenever I’m teaching at my studio in DuBois with private lessons, I’ve learned that – whether adults or children, if they haven’t painted watercolors before, they’re all starting at the same level,” he said. “Some of my classes in DuBois, I have adults in with children. It’s a matter of coming up with projects that can accommodate beginner, intermediate, and advanced students. I’ve found that with advanced students, I’m almost further ahead letting them pick out the subjects they want to do and are excited about.”
That excitement continues in Brockway year after year.
“Perry has always loved coming here and we are glad to have him here,” said Oknefski. “The students always do an amazing job with recreating his paintings and they also have so much fun doing it.”
Winkler was at the school the first week of April. He will be back next year with new paintings and new tricks for art students.

Independent Art Builds Creativity
Independent Art Builds Creativity
Every so often, students in Brockway's elective art class get the chance to choose their own projects. They can use whatever medium they want to use, aside from plaster, clay, and glass. This project gives students a chance to really showcase what they are capable of.
The students can take about three weeks to get their piece done, but most get it done in under two weeks. While they are working on their independent project, they also have to work on their stained glass project, in which they construct a small stained glass window.
“Normally I choose the projects,” Brockway High School art teacher, Mrs. Melanie Oknefski, said, “but I want to give students the opportunity to create something they are proud of. That comes from their own imagination.”
The teacher also elaborated on her statement by stating that students tend to enjoy the independent projects more than others. She said that they become more passionate about what they are doing and put much more effort into their work by adding intricate details that may go unnoticed.
“By encouraging young students to take their projects into their own hands, you are enlightening a whole new generation to the beauty that is creating art,” Oknefski said. “Hopefully, they will use their newfound abilities to fill the world with more passion and love, something that we most definitely need.”

Students Write Memories
Students Write Memories
With so many elementary teachers retiring at the end of the year, Mrs. Andrea Oknefski sent note cards over to the high school for students to write memories and well-wishes to the teachers they had many years ago.
Retiring at the elementary school are Susan Alderton, Lynda Manhart, Annette Carnahan, Sarah Mitchell, and Jacque Gillung. High school teachers John Barrow, Patty Sedlock, and Kathy Knepp are also retiring at the end of this school year.
AP Classes For Success
AP Classes For Success
Thanks to the Brockway Schools & Community Education Foundation, Advanced Placement classes are offered at Brockway for those who want to challenge themselves.
Brockway offers a total of nine AP classes. These consist of AP Government and Politics, AP English, AP Chemistry, AP U.S. History, AP Biology, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics, and AP Physics.
“Students are able to get a good understanding of the course material to better be able to help them in college,” School Counselor Heather Anderson said. “Also, they can receive Mount Aloysius Dual Enrollment credit as long as they receive a 78% or higher in the class.”
While AP courses may attract some students, everyone at Brockway gets the chance to experience a little of the world.
Brockway offers around thirty elective classes to choose from. Most often, agriculture classes, family and consumer sciences, and foreign languages are selected.
“I feel like our students have a lot of opportunities to pick their courses that will benefit them for their future plans,” Anderson said. “That could be going to the workforce or going to continue their education.”
For students, Brockway offers a chance to preview a class before the new school year begins, allowing them to decide if a class is a good fit.
“What is nice is at the end of the year, we do Move-Up Day,” Anderson said. “The students get the chance to see what their classes would be like. This also gives them the opportunity to change their classes before the next school year.”
While Brockway is a small school, Mrs. Anderson said that the students have big-school opportunities.
“For being such a small school, it is just amazing how students have the opportunity to excel in their education,” she said.

Dual Enrollment Psychs Students
Dual Enrollment Psychs Students
For four years, the Brockway Schools & Community Education Foundation has made Dual Enrollment Psychology a popular choice for Brockway students.
An added bonus is that students know the professor. Jessi Donlin does dual duty as professor and school counselor for grades 7-9.
“Learning psychology helps you grow more as a person and understand how the world works,” Mrs. Donlin explained. “Students that take the class learn topics like the history, social psychology, life skills and development, and so much more!”
Students taking the course currently are presenting their knowledge about the chapter they choose to teach the class. They must create a game, slide show, outline, and review quiz to help teach fellow classmates about the chapter.
“Taking any of the Dual Enrollment courses is an excellent idea,” said Donlin. “These classes can gain some insight into what college will entail: it’s a great stepping stone.”

Students Solve Mock Crime Scene
Students Solve Mock Crime Scene
Recently at the Brockway Elementary school, the fourth grade classes were involved in a mock crime scene. Mrs. Alissa Carnahan was the one who thought of this idea.
“I had seen mock crime scenes being used by teachers I follow on social media,” she said. “I knew I wanted to try it in my classroom.”
Officer Don Routch assisted in setting up the scene and contributed materials to the crime scene. There was a “broken” window, a set of footprints, and fake blood on the counters. One side of the room was taped off with a yellow crime scene tape, while there were also many everyday objects either just sitting on the desk or knocked over. Students then used these clues to figure out who the culprit is.
“The lesson was intended to teach the kids how their responses and conclusions needed to have support,” said Carnahan. “I wanted them to be able to explain their reasoning and work together problem solving.”
There was improvement with class, along with TDA’s, after doing this mock crime scene. Carnahan says, “Anytime kids were struggling with remembering the difference between terms or forgetting to include analysis in their writing, it was easy to refer back to the crime scene lesson and mention examples of the process we used then.”
Carnahan gave credit to Officer Routch for providing the materials and explaining to the students about the activity. She also gives credit to fellow teacher, Mr. Ben Donlin, for taking part as the guilty party.
“It will definitely be a lesson plan I keep bringing back each year,” says Carnahan.

Model UN
Model UN
A group of students traveled to Pittsburgh to take part in the Model UN event.
“Model UN is an opportunity for our students to learn about the United Nations as a whole and also to look at these world issues through another country’s perspective,” explained Brockway history teacher Rachel Chamberlain. Chamberlain has been taking Brockway students to Model UN in Pittsburgh for six years now.
The Model UN mimics real UN processes. The group gets assigned a country and then has to look at specific issues from the point of view of that country. Usually, Brockway, due to its size as a school, gets a smaller country. This year, Brockway was assigned the country of India.

Science Fair Inspires Students
Science Fair Inspires Students
For the past 18 years, Brockway Elementary School has connected students with science through the annual science fair.
This year’s fair had a slight change. Instead of allowing students to pick every aspect of their project, the teachers took a more-active role.
“The fourth, fifth and sixth grades are now teacher-directed to ensure the proper development of the scientific method,” Elementary Teacher Curtis “Shay” French explained. “They have individual projects as well as large group projects involving the whole classroom to give kids their first experience with the science fair activity.”
Students completed a variety of projects, from analyzing mouth bacteria, projects in the conduction of electricity, crystals, and soil erosion. Some were even related to household products.
“There were a wide array of great projects,” French said. “The science fair also presented projects in product testing such as paper towels, stain removal, greasy potato chips, and even light bulb brightness.” French shared.
Kids participating in events like the science fair promotes reading and mathematics while developing problem solving skills. According to French, it is important for students to learn these skills because the majority of jobs in the future will be science and technology oriented. The science fair ignites excitement in kids to measure, calculate, and predict and much more.

Brockway Does History Day
Brockway Does History Day
A group of students at Brockway Area High School got to participate in an event called National History Day. If history is your thing, you sign up to go, and pick a topic that goes along with the theme for the year. This year’s theme was “Triumph and Tragedy.”
After many months and sleepless nights, the Brockway kids took their finished projects to this event. There are many other competitions just like this one held all over the country. At the competition, the Brockway high school kids set up and each group/individual got interviewed by historians and professionals.
Three individuals or groups from each category got to move on to the State Competition in Carlisle. Sydney Manno was one of the individuals from Brockway chosen.
“When we get to States, there’s not much we can do but rehearse our interviews and hope for the best,” Manno said. “We are not allowed to drastically change our projects at all between Regionals and States.”
Manno was the only Brockway exhibitor to move on to States. Molly Wise and Shaughny Richardson had papers. Richardson took third in the state for her paper and Manno took fifth for her presentation.

NHS Raises $3400 For SIDS
NHS Raises $3400 For SIDS
The Brockway National Honors Society did a walk to raise awareness for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS. Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the unexplained death, usually during sleep, of a seemingly healthy baby less than a year old. SIDS is sometimes known as crib death because the infants often die in their cribs.
Although the cause is unknown, it appears that SIDS might be associated with defects in the portion of an infant's brain that controls breathing and arousal from sleep. Researchers have discovered some factors that might put babies at extra risk. They've also identified measures you can take to help protect your child from SIDS. Perhaps the most important is placing your baby on his or her back to sleep.
Austin Bullers, president of Brockway National Honors Society, explained the importance of the walk.
“I know a family who lost a child to SIDS,” he said. “I wanted to recognize their loss and give something to the child’s name. That’s why we’re doing this walk.”
The walk allowed the chapter to raise $3,435 to donate to Penn Highlands DuBois.
The amount raised and the turnout surprised the organizers. Over 90 people participated.
“I didn’t know what to expect,” said Brockway Area Junior-Senior High School senior Austin Bullers. Bullers is the president of Brockway’s National Honors Society and worked with other members to make the walk happen.
The walk went from the school to the Brockway Drug parking lot, where a picture was taken. The participants returned to the school for some snacks. Community members joined Brockway students and staff at the event.
Bullers and his mother, Carla, made ribbons to hand out for the walk. Callie Barber and Jordan Faith, both National Honors Society officers, made signs for the walk. People driving along Main Street in Brockway beeped in support.
“I want people to know that this cause is out there and raise awareness,” Bullers said. “I am very proud of the amount we raised.”

Willkommen Deutsche: German Students Return
Willkommen Deutsche: German Students Return
Every year, the whole town of Brockway welcomes German Students to our small town. They come over around April and get to stay three weeks. This year, Brockway had 16 students and two teachers coming from Germany. Our school provides fun school trips and after school events so the German students get to experience America in a fun way.
The German-American Partnership Program (GAPP) gives a group of German exchange students a chance to experience what American life is like, focusing on such activities as visiting New York City, high school, Easter, shopping, and petting a chicken.
“We integrate them into our classes, take them to Pittsburgh and Niagara Falls so they really get to see and experience more than just our small town of Brockway,” Mr. Eric Stawecki, the German teacher here at Brockway, said.
They even get to visit Brockway Glass and take a tour of the place. Right before they leave, Mr. Stawecki creates a scavenger hunt for the students and their hosts. This allows the Germans to explore the town and find unique aspects of Brockway.
“I want to come here and learn about the USA and see what high school is like compared to ours,” said German Student Max Renn. “American people make you feel welcome here.”
Johanna Schmidt had the advantage of talking to friends who came to Brockway before.
“I always wanted to come to America,” Schmidt said. “My friends told me that it was different and a lot of fun. The whole lifestyle is different here. Everything is bigger! The food, the cars, everything!”
Aside from having bigger everything and more choices in grocery stores, the two students felt that Brockway Area Junior-Senior High School offered more to its students than their counterpart in Hann. Münden.
“The art classes have so much,” he said. “We don’t have an agriculture shop like this in Germany.”
The students spent some time in Kyle Norman’s wood shop and Matt Holt’s metal shop. They also joined those two teachers on a tour of Brockway’s greenhouse and barn. Holt held a chicken for the German students to pet. Many were wary at first, but when they finally came up, they were surprised at how soft the hen was.
Though the trip is over, the German students went back to Hann. Münden with new memories and new friendships.

Physics Class Goes To Hersheypark
Physics Class Goes To Hersheypark
Brockway High Schools physics students, as well as the ninth grade advanced math students, went to Hershey Park. They left at 7 a.m. and arrived to Hershey at 10:30 a.m. Mr. Josh Lindemuth, a Brockway area math teacher, and Mrs. Pam Hartzfeld, the physics teacher, both supervised the trip.
In order to go on this trip, students had to be passing the class. Students were also allowed to go eat anywhere in the park, as long as they brought their own money.
The purpose of the trip is for the students to learn more about the physics behind each ride, along with their structure and designs. Physic students had to choose four different roller coasters and answer questions about them.
“We had to take the times of the revolutions and did equations to find velocities and such,” said physics student, Ashley Keith. “After we finished doing our lab, we got to ride anything we wanted and go to roam around the park.”
