Williamsport elementary art teacher honored with top state award

Williamsport, Pa. — The Williamsport Area School District is proud to announce that Chelsea Cramer, Cochran Primary School's primary art teacher, has been named the recipient of the 2026 Pennsylvania Art Education Association (PAEA) Outstanding Elementary Art Educator Award. Through a rigorous review process, PAEA recognized Cramer for her creative contributions, excellence in professional engagement, and dedication to service, highlighting her leadership and commitment to advancing art education across Pennsylvania. “I’m truly honored to receive this recognition from PAEA. One of the things I love most about teaching art is watching students discover what they’re capable of when they have opportunities to make creative choices and explore their own ideas. I want my students to see themselves as artists, feel confident taking creative risks, and know that their ideas matter. For me, art education is about so much more than the finished artwork — it’s about the curiosity, independence, and problem-solving that happen along the way.” Cramer also adds how important it is to work alongside other art educators that share the same passion: “I’m also fortunate to work alongside an amazing group of art educators who share ideas, encourage one another, and inspire me to keep learning and growing.

To solve Pa.'s literacy crisis, put resources behind reform | Opinion

“…But Mr. K, reading is soooo boring,” said Chance, one of my freshman students on a blistering day in late August. To an English teacher, saying those words during the first week of a school year is like exposing Kryptonite to Superman. As a kid younger than Chance, I routinely struck out at T-ball in first grade. I was more thrilled with the evenings after practice, when I escaped to the public library where I checked out Alvin Schwartz’s "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" books. I became an English teacher precisely to pass along that sense of wonder to my students. During my time in education, I have learned that a student's lack of enthusiasm for reading is more than just a personal preference; it is fueling a measurable literacy crisis across Pennsylvania. According to the latest National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) , just 33% of Pennsylvania fourth graders are proficient readers. That’s a troubling reality with consequences that extend far beyond elementary school. Students who struggle to read in early grades face greater challenges throughout their education and beyond, limiting their opportunities in college, careers, and life. The consequences extend across our commonwealth, too: low literacy

Curtis Power Solutions donation gives Penn College students hands-on generator experience

Williamsport, Pa. — Students in the on-site power generation technology program at Penn College now have the benefit of learning in an expanded lab thanks to a gift from Curtis Power Solutions LLC. The gaseous-fueled generator set will allow students to work in smaller lab groups, according to Drew T. Smith, instructor of diesel equipment technology: electric power generation. “This will give them more hands-on time per student, and it exposes them to MTU’s control system for gaseous-fueled generator sets,” Smith said. The technology is used heavily throughout the program, which teaches students in-demand skills such as installing, servicing, and repairing diesel power generators. Students also refine the practical skills needed to work with electrical machinery, electric and electronic machine control devices, and other electronic equipment. “Donations like this are important because they provide our students and instructors with access to a variety of modern equipment,” said John A. Pecchia, assistant dean of diesel technology and natural resources. “There are a variety of reasons why graduates in the on-site power generation program are in high demand, but the recent boom in data centers has probably been the biggest driver, not just in this region but across the United States.” Penn
