Hands-on > remote (especially after snow days!) ✨

Our first-year PTA students were busy today 👏
We kicked off ortho with a Sticky Head Game 📝—a fun way to review their very first ortho PowerPoint and get brains moving before bodies.

Then it was back to the essentials 💪
➡️ Practicing gait & transfers
➡️ Navigating lines, tubes, IV bags, and oxygen
➡️ Applying what they learned last semester to real-life patient scenarios

It was one of those days that reminds us how much learning happens when you’re in the lab, moving, laughing, and problem-solving together. So grateful to be back in person today—snow or no snow ❄️😉

🍪 Sweet Success for a Sweeter Cause! 🍪

We’re excited to share that Dr. Ashley Reedy, ACCE of the Physical Therapist Assistant Program, earned 🥉 Third Place in the Cookie Walk-Around, all while supporting an incredible cause — the Lackawanna College Student Food Pantry 💙

This fun (and delicious!) event brought our campus community together to give back and help support students facing food insecurity. We’re so proud to see our our program director and ACCE leading by example — showing that service, compassion, and a little friendly competition go a long way.

Thank you to everyone who baked, tasted, voted, and supported this meaningful fundraiser. Every cookie truly made a difference!

🎄 The PTA Elf’s Secret 🎄

Each December, a tiny elf quietly helped the LC PTA Program. Decorations stayed tidy, pens returned to their spots, and the snack table always seemed mysteriously protected.

During class, faint jingles came from behind trays of treats, and tiny cinnamon footprints appeared near the cookies. By the end of the day, everything looked perfect—except for one tiny bite missing from a cookie.

🎄Larry the PTA Elf Pulling an All-Nighter🎄
Dr. Reedy noticed the classroom computer glowing softly, though it had been shut down the night before. A trail of glitter stopped right at the keyboard, where a few keys sat slightly pressed—as if by someone far too light to see.

She smiled. Christmas helpers always pick the smallest hiding places… especially ones with buttons to tap.

🎄Larry’s Quiet Corner🎄

Larry the PTA Elf adored December—its muffled footsteps, its softened voices, the way everything seemed to glow even when the lights were low. Each year he slipped into a new hiding place, somewhere he could listen without being seen, somewhere overlooked in the rush of daily bustle.

This time, he found a spot that felt almost like a pocket of stillness. The air there shifted in a gentle rhythm, a small rise and fall that reminded him of the whoosh that comes just before Santa’s sleigh lifts into the sky. Whenever someone passed nearby, the space around him swayed ever so slightly, as if stirred by the brush of winter wind. He liked that—it made him feel as though he were nestled in a tiny forest far from the North Pole, sheltered among tall, silent sentinels.

Every so often, a soft chime echoed from somewhere close, a bright little note that rang out and then vanished as quickly as it came.

All day long, students hurried past without a second glance, never thinking to look in a place people walked by without ever really seeing. And Larry smiled to himself—hidden in plain sight, surrounded by quiet green shadows, perfectly positioned to watch the season’s magic unfold.

Larry the Elf disappeared again, leaving only a tiny trail of paper scraps behind him. The students searched the lounge, listening closely. Somewhere nearby, a steady whirrrr hummed—like a machine waking up for another busy day.

Warm air drifted from a corner where students always gather when they need something printed fast. A few freshly tossed pages lay on the floor… almost as if someone small had been climbing around.
