Warwick’s Ella Lucas

EllaLucas is the best female thrower of the discus in the state of Pennsylvania. The Warwick senior attained that status by becoming the best discus thrower she could be - as well as the best version of the young person she could be.

On Memorial Day weekend at Shippensburg University, Lucas captured the gold medal in the Class AAA discus at the PIAA Track and Field Championships. Her winning throw of 163-9 capped a marvelous senior campaign and an outstanding track and field career marked by personal growth and reaching goals.

“I knew my senior season was one last year of competing in a Warwick jersey,” said Lucas. “The community of Warwick track and field is phenomenal. Everyone

matures into a state champion

wants to build each other up. Being a captain, people look to you, and you’re setting an example. Coming off a good junior season, I had expectations, but I just wanted to have fun. Any time you love the sport, it makes it easier to compete and practice.”

Lucas’ gold-medal Saturday at Shippensburg represented a peak performance resulting from consistency. Her victorious heave came on her fifth attempt of the state competition and also established a personal best for her. Lucas’ 163-9 was more than 8 feet beyond runner-up and defending state champion Elizabeth Tapper of Hempfield Area High School in Greensburg.

“I wanted to focus on my series,” said Lucas. “I wanted to get a big throw early and build off it. I was happy about the one throw, but the series meant a lot to me. You can control some things. But you can’t

always control the gold medal.”

“Ella is a phenomenal athlete, but an even better person,” said Warwick track and field coach Bobby Rhoads. “She was a huge part of the positive culture on our girls’ track and field team. She was super inviting, and that made a huge impact on our team.”

During her senior spring, Lucas also garnered discus titles at the District Three Track and Field Championships and the LancasterLebanon League meet. In April, she was the top American thrower at the prestigious Penn Relays in Philadelphia.

Lucas had claimed the silver medal in the Class AAA discus competition at the PIAA Track and Field Championships as a junior.

“I grew up in the sport,” said Lucas, who will further her academic and athletic careers at the University of South Carolina. “I knew

to get to a certain level, it was going to take hard work. You have to have a lot of motivation. At practice, you’re pretty much going up against yourself. You have to be patient with yourself and be real with yourself.”

With her efforts at Shippensburg, Lucas became the first Warrior in 20 years to garner a state track and field gold medal and just the fourth in the history of the program.

“The improvement throughout her career was outstanding,” said Rhoads. “In her junior season, she really started to put it together and she grew leaps and bounds. This season was about becoming more consistent. The goal is always to be at your best at the end of the season.”

“I think the message is ‘When you find something you’re most passionate about, keep working toward it. Don’t stop pursuing it,’” concluded Lucas.

As they progress through their high school careers, students mature, they evolve.

Members of the Lititz Christian School (LCS) Class of 2023 experienced their fair share of growth. They’ve learned flexibility that will serve them well into the future.

During the evening hours of June 2, the 19 members of the Class of 2023 graduated during commencement exercises conducted at Lititz Christian School and adjoining Lititz Church of the Brethren. It was Lititz Christian’s 28th graduation overall, but its first at the new facility it moved into at the beginning of the 2022-23 school year.

“They (the graduates) were very much united in their high school careers,” said Lititz Christian’s assistant head of school, Niki Cadwalader. “As freshmen, they started out with COVID. And when they were sophomores, they were still dealing with it. In their junior year, they found out they were moving. Then they spent their entire senior year in a new building.”

The commencement began with an informal gathering for photos. From the gymnasium at the school, staff members and faculty members led the seniors in a procession to the church sanctuary for the ceremony.

“Parables of Jesus” tells stories from the Bible

“‘Parables of Jesus’ is a high-energy and humorous telling of the stories that Jesus told to His followers,” said Ashlee Heyward, team member, describing Piercing Word’s original production.

“The piece gives the audience a fresh and everyday perspective of these stories told over 2,000 years ago, and we tell them word for word from the English Standard Version Bible. The Scripture is our script.”

“Parables of Jesus” will be performed at the Junction Center, 1875 Junction Road, Manheim, at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 30, and at 3 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 1.

The stories are told with an African inspiration. “The use of African-inspired instruments and movement helps remind viewers of how beautifully diverse the church is,” Heyward explained. “In a season where we are seeing so

much division and brokenness in our country when it comes to issues of race, we have a unique opportunity to celebrate and demonstrate our unity in Christ.”

The show will include stories of the sheep and shepherd, the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son, among others. “This show is both humorous and poignant and will leave you thinking deeply about the truths presented in a fresh way,” Heyward shared. “It’s a fun show that is perfect for the whole family.”

“Parables of Jesus” invites audience members to watch as Jesus helps His followers understand the nature of the Kingdom of God and the value of following Him. “‘Parables of Jesus’ is woven together flawlessly,” shared Jeff Gibelius,

Lititz Christian frompg 1

pastor of Second Presbyterian Church in Carlisle. “It has a fascinating African production style to it that encourages viewing familiar stories in a new light.”

Piercing Word is a nonprofit ministry based in Lancaster with a mission “to ignite passion for the Word of God in

the heart of the church.” The organization has been performing Scripture in dramatic and musical presentations, word-for-word from the Bible, since 2007.

All tickets for “Parables of Jesus” are pay-what-you-will and are availalbe by searching for the event on Eventbrite. Seating is limited, and early reservations are encouraged. Donations will be received at the end of the performance at the exit doors. For more information on Piercing Word, visit https://piercingword.org.

The program featured an invocation; a reciting of the class verse; a presentation of the class gift; student speeches, including those from valedictorian Wynne Coolbeth and salutatorian Grace Gerard; a presentation of academic awards; a song sung by the high school choir; the awarding of diplomas; a song of blessing sung over the new graduates; and a prayer said for the rising Class of 2024.

In her speech Coolbeth noted the role that the school community has played in her life.

“I have been enrolled at LCS since kindergarten. Throughout the years, I have not only been challenged academically, but I have also been able to form deep connections with my classmates, my teachers, and, most

importantly, with God,” Coolbeth said. “My classmates are like my family, and I consider most of the faculty and staff at Lititz Christian to be good friends. One thing that I love about Lititz Christian is that the teachers are not only committed to giving each student a quality education, but also investing in each student and building relationships with them.”

Every member of Lititz Christian’s Class of 2023 graduated with a GPA of 3.5 or higher out of 4.0.

“This class is unique because everyone graduated with honors,” said Cadwalader. “It’s always bittersweet in the sense that the kids are moving away from the Lititz Christian family, but on to something greater. We’re giving them their wings to

impact the world for Christ.”

“My favorite part of the ceremony is when the faculty sings a song of blessing over the kids,” concluded Cadwalader. “It’s touching. It’s a way to show them that they will remain in our hearts. It’s a beautiful way to send them off.”

A total of 65 teams representing 10 schools from across Lancaster County recently competed in the Envirothon to demonstrate their knowledge about Pennsylvania’s natural resources from forestry, wildlife, aquatics, and soils to the current issue of climate change. The Envirothon is a team contest for Lancaster County students in grades three through 12.

Conestoga Valley High School won the top spot at the 2023 Lancaster County Senior High Envirothon on April 27. The five-member team represented Lancaster County at the Pennsylvania Envirothon on May 24 at Camp Luther in Mifflinburg, placing 16th in the state contest. Team members were Nastia Ivanchikov, Caroline Kulp, Maya Longhi, Nyomi Longhi, and Camdyn Mahler. The Envirothon education adviser was James Hovan. The Junior Envirothon, held

on May 17, included school teams of five students in grades three through six. A third-grade team from Doe Run Elementary School in Manheim Central School District earned the highest score. At the Middle School Envirothon on May 18, Ephrata Middle School placed first with a team that featured students in grades seven and eight.

Lancaster County Conservation District facilitates the Envirothon events by partnering with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Lancaster Conservancy, and volunteers. Donations support the awards presented to top-scoring teams.

Charitable, educational, or business organizations in Lancaster County that demonstrate a commitment to the Sierra Club’s mission of exploring, enjoying, and protecting the planet are eligible to apply for a grant of $500 or less. The deadline to apply for the next cycle of awards is Sunday, March 31, 2024.

JLL recognizes youth volunteers

The Junior League of Lancaster (JLL) has announced the two winners of this year’s 2023 Deborah P. Altman Outstanding Youth Volunteer Award: Lauren Leister, an 18-year-old graduating senior from Warwick High School, and Caleb Miller, an 18-year-old graduating senior from Donegal High School. Leister and Miller each received a $1,500 scholarship prize, of which a $300 contribution will be donated by JLL to a charity of each student’s choice. Leister’s chosen charity is Four Diamonds, and Miller selected the Old Line Youth Livestock Foundation.

Leister’s commitment to volunteerism has been illustrated throughout her high school career. She participated in and served as the chairperson of UNITE for Mini-THON Club.

Leister has been an active member of the Lititz Leo Club, and she was also appointed to the National Honor Society (NHS), where she was elected as secretary and was involved in fundraisers for local nonprofit organizations.

Miller’s scholastic accomplishments have included his induction into the NHS, National Math Honor Society, and Key Club. He has also been involved in 4-H, undertaking a project to install cattle gates at the Elizabethtown Fairgrounds. He has been a five-year volunteer with the Marietta Fireworks Team. Named a member of the Pennsylvania Farm Show Junior Committee, Miller was recently selected as one of 12 youths from Pennsylvania to assist with ensuring the success of the Farm Show.

The annual award is named in honor of Deborah P. Altman, a past president of the Junior League of Lancaster, whose life exemplified a commitment to volunteering, a love of children, and service to the community. The purpose of the award is to recognize young people who demonstrate an exceptional interest and involvement in

volunteerism as well as inspiring their peers to volunteer in their communities. Since the award was established in 1984, more than $48,800 has been awarded to outstanding youths in Lancaster County.
