McTeacher Night with CE!

Many of the Cambria Elementary teachers volunteered their time at our local Ebensburg McDonalds for McTeacher Night. Many of our students came out to see them and everyone had a great time. McDonalds donated 15% of the sales to our school for the 3 hour event. This includes the drive thru sales, as well as the dining room sales. Our total was around $700.00. A big thank you goes out to our teachers and McDonalds for making this night possible.

STEM

On Thursday, October 23^rd, Central Cambria’s Exploring Concepts of STEM class went on a field trip to the Colver Power Project and the Patton Wind Farm.  The cost of the transportation was generously funded by PA Career Link.  Dennis Simmers, a member of Central Cambria’s Board of Directors, along with a few other Colver Power Project employees took the students on an exciting tour of the co-generation plant.  The students learned how waste coal can be efficiently burned to generate electricity.  They also learned how the clean-up of this waste coal can have  a positive impact on the environment.  Two individuals from the Institute of Energy at Saint Francis University accompanied the group for the tour of the Patton Wind Farm.   Students were introduced to the use of wind turbines as a viable option for the production of electricity.  The field trip was a great way to show the importance of STEM related topics in our very own communities.
