Forest City Regional stu-dents had a wonderful show-ing at this year’s Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science State competition held May 15-17 at Penn State Main Cam-pus.

Lucas O’Neill placed second in 9th grade chemistry with a project testing the effective-ness of antacids.

Collin Ennis placed first in

9th grade chemistry testing how various cooking methods change the vitamin C content in our foods.

Katie Nguyen placed first in 9th grade chemistry. She synthesized her own biodiesel fuel in the chem lab and tested how it compared to commer-cial fuel.

Our proudest moment was when Joe Piotrowski placed

first, with a perfect score, in 11th grade biology. His proj-ect involved running a DNA extraction and polymerase chain reaction to detect GMO’s in foods that were labeled to be GMO free and organic. He also was awarded a $2000 scholarship, renewable for four years, to the Eberly Col-lege of Science at Penn State.

Waymart HS 51st Reunion Sat., June 18

Waymart High School grad-uates, those who attended the school at one time and teach-ers will come together for their 51st Reunion on Saturday, June 18, 2016 at the Regency Hotel Banquet Room, Carbondale.

Waymart High School’s last graduating class was the class of 1971-72. The students in Waymart and Lake Ariel came together in January 1972 to form the first class at Western Wayne High School, Varden. Waymart School stayed open for a number of years for el-ementary students while the Robert D. Wilson School was built. The building stood va-cant for a number of years and finally was taken down in the 1980’s. Wayside Park now stands on the site.
