The Leominster Public Schools will receive a grant of more than $200,000 to bring a new biomedical sciences curriculum to high school students, state officials have announced.

The grant allows the Leominster Public Schools to offer professional development to 12 teachers and provide about 380 students with an inquiry, project-based, and hands-on learning using equipment such as PCR machines (which can make many copies of a single piece of DNA), incubators, microcentrifuges and DNA analysis kits.
Lycoming professor presents translation of contemporary Spanish play performed by theatre students
On April 27, Lycoming’s Modern Language Studies Department Chair and Logan A. Richmond Endowed Professor Sandra Kingery, Ph.D., presented her translation of “The Treatment,” a play by Spanish writer Pablo Remón. The Lycoming theatre department presented a selection from the first act of the play virtually as a staged reading performed by Lycoming students and directed by C. Austin Hill, Ph.D., visiting assistant professor of theatre.
The translation of Remón’s “El Tratamiento” was inspired after an evening at the theater while Kingery was visiting Madrid. “I loved the play so much that I wrote the playwright the next morning to ask him if I could translate it,” she said. He wrote back immediately giving her the rights, and the project began.
