Some of the lecture topics include
nuclear power production, FBI forensic
investigations, lasers and mechatronics,
stem cells, bioengineering and anatomic
ACL reconstruction. Students will also
have the opportunity to tour the Breazeale
Nuclear Reactor at Penn State.
Students who are interested in
participating in this program must go
through an application process that includes
recommendations from science teachers,
proof of high academic standing in science
and the humanities, and a demonstrated
interest in science.
At the end of the lecture series, students
will have an opportunity to compete for
awards based on their scores on an end-of-
the-course exam.

A
ll Bethel Park School District
classrooms have been
equipped with emergency
supply buckets that can be used
in emergency situations until
responders can arrive, thanks to
generous donations from local
businesses and organizations.
The buckets were donated by Andy
Amrhein and Evey True Value Hardware,
and filled with medical supplies
such as plastic gloves, bandages and
dressings, donated by St. Clair Hospital
and Jefferson Hospital, as well as
tourniquets, reflective vests and other
supplies that can be used in emergency
situations.
Helping the District to secure the
supplies was John Bower, Paramedic
Supervisor of Tri-Community South
EMS. Making all of the tourniquets was
Bethel Park School Resource Officer
Joelle Dixon.
Thank you to everyone who helped
to make this safety project a reality.
