During a night filled with business leaders, their guests and clients, (and Philadelphia Eagles' Quarterback, Carson Wentz!), a few Lampeter-Strasburg students took to the stage to open the Lancaster Chamber's 146th Annual Dinner. 
Straight out of the award winning movie "The Greatest Showman", Third Graders Piper Davidson, Cooper Frizado, and Zack Frizado, Seventh Grader Tanner Emerling, and Seniors Nolan Davidson and Brendan Massar dressed in "steampunk circus" dazzled the crowd with singing and dancing to open and close the event. 
Having only two days to pull together a crowd-pleasing opening, they worked with other students active in local theater to entertain over 2600 guests! It truly was a night to remember!

Career Development Events (CDE’s ) are contests that FFA members participate in to learn skills and knowledge for a specific career. Members have to opportunity to compete at the county, regional, state, and national level for their contest.

Many members of the Garden Spot FFA have been practicing for different CDE’s in teams and individually. Some contests require teams and individuals to qualify for the regional and state competitions, while others only compete at state competitions with chances of moving on to the nation competitions. Members are required to attend weekly practices outside of school to prepare for their competition to the best of their ability.

Together they qualified for Penn State for the individual and team events. The contest consisted of a engine manual reading …

The Lampeter-Strasburg Softball team had many accomplishments this season in section three. The varsity team ended with the section title, beating their rivals, Donegal, two days in a row. 
The Lady Pioneers only posted three losses all season. They lost their first two games, first against Dallastown and second against Donegal, and later in the season against Penn Manor. 
Going into what turned out to be the last game of the season, they were behind Donegal by one game. A win meant a tie-breaker for the section title, a loss meant second place and a final game against Warwick.
The softball team played fantastically that Tuesday afternoon. They ended up defeating the team 9-3. The game featured a tremendous over-the-fence home run. The home run was a good thirty feet over the fence before it finally hit the ground. With the win, the team had forced another game the next day.
The final game started off with a 3-0 L-S lead after the first inning. That got extended to 5-0. Donegal was b…

Late last month, Logan Davidson was the lone Lampeter-Strasburg wrestler competing at the Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Association’s Eastern Nationals Tournament at the Wicomico Civic Center in Salisbury, Maryland.
MAWA’s as they are called are a scholastic wrestling tournament series under the AAU organization that starts after the scholastic season finishes with District Qualifiers all over the East Coast of the U.S. If you place in the top 3 at the District Qualifier, you advance to one of 4 regional tournaments (North, South, East, and West). 
The top four finishers from the Regional Tournaments meet in a 16 person bracket at the Eastern Nationals Tournament in early May.

Logan placed fourth as the Western Regional Tournament which was held in the Utz Arena in York, PA on March 30. This Saturday and Sunday, after losing his first match 3-0 to another Regional Champion, Logan pinned two wrestlers which put him into the second days competition and in the top 8 which is placing.
