Quotes
"I thought that Mini-Thon was really fun even though at some points I could fall asleep wherever I was. I also thought it was astounding how much we were able to make as a HS and how much we raised total. I do hope that there will be another Mini-Thon in the near future." -- Sean Burke, 10th grade
"It's the best night of my life. I don't usually get to stay up this late." -- Sawyer Lancaster, 7th grade
"It was awesome ... staying up all night!" -- Maggie Swarr, 5th grade

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!
