East Lycoming school receives bomb threat same day as Union County school

Lairdsville, Pa. — Renn Elementary School was evacuated this morning after a bomb threat was called into the school, according to East Lycoming School District Superintendent Dr. Gregory S. Scoggins. A bomb threat was also made to Linntown Intermediate School in Lewisburg this morning. Police have not said whether the two incidents are related. The call came to Renn Elementary School at approximately 8:35 a.m. Pennsylvania State Police were contacted immediately, and the building was evacuated. Staff and school resource officers moved students safely to an off-site location, where they sheltered in place. When it became clear that state police K-9 units would need additional time to arrive and clear the building, the district began its parent reunification process. All students were either reunited with parents and guardians or sent home on school buses. Two bomb-sniffing K-9 units later completed a thorough sweep of the building and surrounding vehicles. The school was given an all-clear shortly after noon. Scoggins said no students or staff were injured. In a letter to families, Scoggins thanked district staff, Pennsylvania State Police and local law enforcement, the Lairdsville Community Volunteer Fire Company, St. Mark’s Church, the Lairdsville Cornerstone Restaurant, bus drivers, and parents and

Williamsport, Pa. — The Loyalsock Township Middle School seventh- and eighth-grade band has been selected to perform at the 2027 Pennsylvania Music Educators Association (PMEA) All-State Conference. The band earned the distinction through a competitive audition process that included approximately 100 ensembles from across the state. Under the direction of middle school band instructor and music curriculum chair David Tini, the ensemble has been invited to present a 30-minute performance at the Bayfront Convention Center in Erie on April 15. The performance will feature selections from its school-year repertoire, with an anticipated audience of music educators, college professors and students, and music industry representatives from across the state. The 2026-27 LTMS seventh- and eighth-grade band is the fourth ensemble in district history to receive an invitation to perform at the PMEA All-State Conference. Tini credited the accomplishment to the students’ dedication and the collective efforts of the district’s music department, teachers, administrators, and staff. “Achievements like this are built through countless hours of dedication and the daily work that often happens outside the spotlight,” Tini said. “Our students have spent years developing their musicianship, embracing challenges, and building the skills that allow them to perform at such a high level.
