FIRST EVER NOODLE DRIVE:
A great big THANK YOU to Dr. Lewis's Marketing II Class for holding our first ever Noodle Drive. Students and Staff were asked to donate anything with noodles to our Cares Closet between September 22 and October 3rd. The Marketing students advertised the noodle drive, placed collection boxes in each homeroom, collected & weighed the donations. 78,570 grams of food (173 pounds) were collected! Mrs. Langkam and Mrs. Nunnemaker's classrooms collected the most donations. Thank you to Marketing II students Owen Conley, Ian Kawecki, and Brayden Wike for all your hardwork on this class project.

Remember that by practicing good health hygiene (washing hands, covering sneezes and coughs) will help to protect everyone from the cold and flu season that will be upon us quickly.
The fall season is well underway, and our student-athletes are making Littlestown proud with their effort, determination, and success across all sports. The first few weeks of competition have already brought exciting moments, from thrilling overtime victories to outstanding individual performances.
On the golf course, Littlestown athletes shined at the YAIAA Golf Tournament, where sophomores Mason Peart (1st place) and Landon Bossom (2nd place) showcased their talent and advanced to postseason play. Their success is a testament to the dedication and focus they’ve put into representing our school at the highest level.
In field hockey, senior standout Reese Rucker reached an incredible milestone by scoring her 100th career point; a remarkable achievement that highlights her talent, dedication, and impact on the program.
On the fields and courts, our teams continue to battle each week, chasing district playoff opportunities while demonstrating resilience and teamwork. Big wins, such as the volleyball win over Delone….the first time in 5 years and the Homecoming football win over Hanover, have energized players, coaches, and fans alike, reminding us of the excitement that comes with competing at a high level and never giving up until the very last whistle.
As the season progresses, the Littlestown community remains proud of the way our student-athletes are competing, both in victory and in the way they handle challenges. Their hard work, sportsmanship, and commitment reflect the true spirit of what it means to wear the Bolt uniform. We look forward to more memorable moments this fall as our teams continue their push toward postseason success.
Thank you to Halo Photography for capturing our student/athletes in action.

🌽 FFA Sweet Corn Day! 🌽
LHS Plant Science classes organized and taught 7 different lessons about corn and how it is produced to the Alloway Creek Elementary School. Lessons included the story of Kerby corn to the kindergarten classes, corn products, corn biology, corn trivia, corn math, corn diseases, corn types, and corn growing equipment. Students were trying to meet their 15 minute presentation requirement for the FFA to receive their Chapter Degree.
Students and staff in all 3 buildings were also served an ear of sweet corn for free with their lunch. The corn was grown in our very own student grown corn field.
A BIG shout out to Rebecca Lee and Sam from Growmark F.S. East Berlin for bringing in a Fendt sprayer with 90 foot booms, Matt Kehr-Channel Seed for bringing in the John Deere 4455 with the 8 row corn planter, and Nathan Grove- Flicker Hill Farm for bringing in the John Deere combine with the 8 row corn head. The equipment seemed to be a big hit for the students.
