SCA Senior MolliLyn Petro has earned many awards throughout her competitive Rabbit Hopping career, namely “Best of Breed” at Holland Lop Nationals in 2022 and in 2023 with a homegrown rabbit named Gavin. MolliLyn and her Havana rabbit Blueberry did a Rabbit Hopping demonstration at the Bloomsburg Fair this week. Please see the link to an article published on the Lancaster Farming website to learn more about this "rabbit queen" (as her mother calls her).

On Saturday, September 23, our school held its annual Homecoming. This year's theme was Starry Autumn Nights. The Homecoming Court consisted of Caitlyn Brent, Mason Barvitskie, Anesa Brown, Sean Buhay, Sayla Chapman, Isaac Carter, Victoria Conway, Garrett Garcia, Jadyn Jankowski, Gavin Krebs, Quinn Johnston, and Louden Murphy. On Friday, Isaac Carter was crowned King at our Homecoming Pep Rally. Later that night, Quinn Johnston was crowned Queen during the football game. The Homecoming Dance was the perfect way to celebrate the 2023 Homecoming King and Queen, and it provided the student body with a fantastic evening of fun and friendship.
