Muncy resident and teacher Shawn McCahan recently organized a donation rally for the Lycoming County United Way organization, tapping school district staff employees to donate $5 every week in January in exchange for one “dress down day” per week. For every donation received came the opportunity to win a pair of NFL football tickets to a home game of the Philadelphia Eagles next season. School district superintendent Dr. Craig Skaluba donated the tickets in an effort to accelerate donations. According to Shawn, $1,121 was tallied for the United Way while math teacher Sharon Wagner won the NFL tickets. Thanks Shawn, Dr. Skaluba and everyone who helped the United way help our residents!

Do you believe a specific teacher, student, coach, volunteer or community should be recognized by the school district for “leading the way” in meeting the district’s mission statement to educate, empower, collaborate and inspire?
