Student & Staff Spotlight
|
Lia has been a student at Pathway for 10 years and will be graduating in May of 2018. Over the years Lia has become an excellent typist, creative artist, leader in Student Council and has performed numerous times with The Pathway Players as a narrator, evil stepsister and multiple fairies. In performances such as, The Pathway Musical Revue, My Son Pinocchio, Cinderella and many others she has always been a star presence whether she was in the lead role or a supporting player. Drama coach, Pete Pryor says “Lia’s smile, intelligence and tremendous generosity make her one the best performers that has graced our stage.”
Lia enjoys researching history and developing power point presentations. Given her love of history and theater, it is not surprising her favorite musical is
1776
. She is always prepared for class and puts forth her best effort.
Lia has gained work experience while at Pathway, having the opportunity to work at Shannondell and Boscov’s Department Store. She is exclusively at Boscov’s this academic year, performing tasks such as unpacking and hanging clothing in various departments. Lia follows directions efficiently and is able to work independently. Her job coach reports “Lia is a joy to work with”.
We are so proud of Lia and her accomplishments. We are confident she will find success wherever her journey takes her after Pathway!

Former Flyers Stanley Cup Champion and Current Sports Broadcaster, Bill Clement Spends the Day at Pathway
Bill Clement was introduced to The Pathway School three years ago and has been volunteering his time and energy since then. Most recently, on October 26
th
he visited the school spending time in the Early Learning Classroom, followed by a delicious lunch at Pathway’s Hot Spot Café, where students prepared and served the meal. After lunch Mr. Clement joined the sports club for a fast paced game of floor hockey, where a few students managed to score against him! As he was about to leave, Pathway’s film club insisted that a video would be a great way to capture this celebrity moment. Joe, a student in the Lower School, interviewed like any news anchor, as several others in the club were filming. This video will be featured in a future “Pathway Today” episode…stay tuned!
Thank you Mr. Clement for volunteering your time and creating an amazing day our staff and students will never forget!
