WHAT’S NEWS IN MT. LEBANON Mt. Lebanon Principal Brian McFeeley receives his card from Seneca Valley Marching Band Director Varden Armstrong. All members of the marching band and auxiliaries signed the card to show their support for McFeeley and his family. THE FRIENDLIEST OF RIVALRIES The Seneca Valley Marching Band added green to their traditional black and blue uniform at Sept. 13’s football game against Mt. Lebanon to fight against the real enemy—cancer. Throughout the week leading up to the game, the band held its second annual campaign called “SV Band Gives Back.” In doing so, they raised over $2,400 to support the McFeeley family. Brian McFeeley, Mt. Lebanon High School Principal, was recently diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. At the game, band leaders presented a card and check to McFeeley. The band, along with SV cheerleaders and the student section, also showed their support by joining with the home crowd in donning green t-shirts and ribbons. a low income car ownership program that accepts donated cars, and repairs and inspects them if necessary. The cars are then sold to qualified, working, low-income people at discounted prices, as compared to a regular used car dealership. This is the only organization of its kind in western Pennsylvania that puts your car back into the hands of a family in the Greater Pittsburgh area. The used car sitting in the garage that you didn’t sell because it was a hassle, or the car that didn’t get the trade-in value you wanted, or that one the kids used for school and is no longer needed would be the perfect car to donate. Your generous donation is the fuel for the program and is tax deductible.
