Have a great day. Mr. Rocco's forensic one students are doing a fun experiment to calculate LC50. The students put brine shrimp in a measured dosage of Tylenol, aspirin, or energy drinks to see how long it takes for a certain amount to die. We spoke to CSI club president Claire Crowell about her experience in the lab. We're testing aspirin, Tylenol, and an energy drink to brine shrimp. We
003are testing different levels of concentration. 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150. And we're seeing how likely they are to die in the different concentrations and how many die in what concentrations. So, my group was doing Tylenol. Uh there are different groups doing like a combination of like like aspirin and Tylenol or energy drink and Tylenol, but we just have Tylenol, so we have a 10% Tylenol and the others.

Last Wednesday, students from Penn-Trafford High School got to meet their third-grade little
004buddy. This day was a fun-packed day filled with laughter and joy. Today is officially big buddy day. It's the last part of the big buddy program for this year. All the kids are super excited to come. This day just consists of the little buddies finally being able to meet their big buddies and just hang out with them, play some games, get some snacks, and some Kona Ice. Some of the games that we have today is football toss, we have a relay race, we have spike ball, some corn hole, a bunch of different games, and they're all super excited for all of them.

This is such a success and it's so nice to see. That's what you did this morning. Are you in need of a dress or suit for prom? Stop down to room 104 to get what you need. Here's Mrs. Sanowski with more information. Hi warriors and happy prom season. Uh the fashion students and myself are working to get the caring closet ready for all of your prom needs.

Sponsored by NHS, Project Confidence is a teen-focused donation initiative created to support teenagers who may not have access to everyday items that help them feel confident and comfortable.

Last Thursday, the chess team had their last big tournament of the year facing Pine-Richland. It was
009a very successful day for them. We spoke to Colin Trenzsar and Alex Heinz to talk about what this meant to them. So, with this tournament, Pine-Richland invited us for their spring invitational. It was a open tournament. There was about 70 students. There were 34 boards. And it was kind of nice that we were able to bring home the win with five-game tournament. Everyone on our A team was four people. We had three tournaments this year. The final one, we were able to bring home the win, so it was kind of nice to see the hard work pay off. Penn-Trafford is looking to go beyond the basics with a new initiative called the Building Warrior Campaign. While district funding covers essential needs like academics, maintenance, and activities, there's often little left for additional improvements that can
010enhance the student experience. That's where this campaign comes in. Each school has identified a specific wish list item from the upgraded classroom resources to improve technology and learning spaces. The campaign invites parents, community members, and local businesses to give back directly to the schools that matter most to them. By supporting these efforts, donors can see the impact of their contributions through the Building Warrior Campaign. Penn-Trafford is continuing its effort to create stronger opportunities and a better learning environment for all students. On Thursday, the boys lacrosse team traveled to Pittsburgh Central Catholic for a 7:30 face-off. The boys fought hard but ultimately fell short 9 to 8. The boys look to bounce back tonight where they welcome Upper Saint Clair High School for a 7:30 face-off. Last Friday, the girls lacrosse team welcomed Hampton High School
011for a 6:00 face-off. The girls were strong offensively, putting up 13 goals against the Talbots. They ended the night with a 13 to 3 win over Hampton High School. Tonight in sports, the boys baseball team is celebrating senior night with a 4:00 first pitch against Penn Hills High School. The girls' softball game is also celebrating their senior night. The team will come to Greater Latrobe for a 5:00 game. The girls' lacrosse team welcomes Mount Lebanon for a 6:00 game. Following the girls' game, the boys welcome Upper St. Clair for a 7:30 game. Thank you for tuning in to today's edition of Wake Up Warriors. We now invite you to stand for the pledge of the flag. This has been Ali Fuller and John Gongaware. Have a great day, PT.
