Upcoming at Allentown Central Catholic High School is the spring musical, "Annie Get your Gun."

With showings April 24-26, there are plenty of opportunities to support the theater program, as well as everyone involved in making the show a success.

As Maximus Ebert, who is in the role of Pawnee Bill, said, "It's been a lot of work but I think it's paying off. It's coming together really well."

As the premier draws closer, the cast and crew have been working harder and harder to ensure the success of the show.

Catasauqua High School students Emmie Ledesma and Crosley Kudla-Williams beg to differ.

Both students recently placed at the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science Competition, entitling them to move on to the state competition in May at Pennsylvania State University, State College.

Emmie competed in the ecology category and her project involved exploring different levels of Co2. She conducted an experiment to evaluate the varied levels of the gas and its impact on global warming.
