What's So Cool About Manufacturing Lehigh Valley
Congratulations to ALL Lehigh Valley TEAMS!!
Fantastic work from each team this year! The videos are being watched throughout the state and country. The messaging is clear, and the videography is impressive.
Remember what Matt Lewis said- the most important thing is to finish. And every student team did more than that- the videos were AMAZING!
Power has been restored to the Penn-Kidder Campus. School will continue as a full day, with no need for an early dismissal. The staff and the students have resumed normal activity and should be commended for their actions during this brief power outage.
Attention parents/guardians of Penn-Kidder Campus students: This morning shortly between 9AM-9:30AM, the Penn-Kidder Campus power went down. Back up generators have come on providing some power in the school. However, if this power problem does not improve, it will be necessary to early dismiss student this morning at the PKC only.
I will update you on this PK Campus situation.
