Cambria Elementary Language Club

We would like to announce that Central Cambria Elementary School and Bishop Carroll High School have collaborated and started a language club for the 5th grade.  This club will be taught by a handful of foreign exchange students from the Bishop Carroll High School.  Mrs. Adrienne Hoffman and Mrs. Amber Hollinger are working diligently to create lessons so that the students can learn Mandarin Chinese.  They will be focusing on how to say the word in Chinese and how to write it using their characters.  The foreign exchange students will come up ideas with and create new lessons every week. This is a wonderful opportunity that the fifth grade students are very excited  to participate in.

Tori Flick and Mark Pavic Chosen As Finalists In The PAYSPI PSA Video Contest.



Our CCTV broadcasting students recently participated in the 2014 Pennsylvania Youth Suicide Prevention Initiative PSA contest. This past week, the PAYSPI Advisory Board has spent time reviewing each submission and deciding which entries will move on to the public vote.

We’d like to congratulate Tori Flick and Mark Pavic, because their entries have been chosen as finalists in this year’s PAYSPI PSA contest for Youth Suicide Prevention!

Their entries will move on to be voted on publicly starting today.  Anyone interested in voting on the finalists, will have until Friday, April 4, at 12:00 noon, at which point, the voting will close. You may vote as many times as you would like. The PSA winners will be determined based on both their rankings in the PAYSPI Advisory voting and the public voting.

How can you vote and help Tori and Mark win this competition?  Go to: www.payspi.org and click on the contest image to view the finalists! There, you will find a link to vote.  Vote, have your students vote, encourage your friends and family to vote as well.  These students are really counting on you to help them win this competition!  

Hint—Mark’s video is the second video (video B) listed under the 60 second videos with the boy looking out the window and Tori’s video is the third video in the 30 second entries with the hands touching hope (video C).  You will need to vote in each category.


All winners will be honored on Suicide Prevention and Awareness Night at the Harrisburg Senators baseball game on Friday, May 16.
