The student allegedly stole a set of master keys and threatened a Canonsburg Middle School teacher.
Canonsburg police are charging a Canonsburg Middle School student with theft and making terroristic threats after he allegedly stole a master set of keys from the building and told a therapist that he wanted to kill a teacher there. Police were initially notified of the theft on Wednesday, but school officials said the 13-year-old boy's parents had been contacted and that they had promised the keys would be returned. School officials told police at that point that the issue would be handled internally.

The Pennsylvania Treasury's Bureau of Unclaimed Property lists local organizations and businesses with money due them—and there might be some out there for you, too.
Each year, the Pennsylvania Treasury receives millions of dollars in unclaimed property, including abandoned bank accounts, forgotten stocks, uncashed checks, certificates of deposit, life insurance policies, safe deposit box contents and recovered stolen property. Most of this unclaimed property is owed to individual residents. (Read below to find out how to search for yourself or for a relative). However, there are a number of municipalities, school districts, fire and police departments, civic groups, and other organizations that also have money waiting for them. The state website identifies the property as either "under $100" or "over $100" and the source of the property. A quick (and by no means complete) search of the state's …

The fundraiser benefits the Canonsburg Middle School Band!
If you go to McDonalds for some grub on March 14, you might see some familiar faces. Especially if you—or your kids—attend Canonsburg Middle School. That's because March 14 is McTeacher Night at the Canonsburg eatery. "This is a fundraiser where a few of the middle school teachers work behind the counter from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and a portion of the sales go to the band," said Marge Eiben, who is the chairperson for the event, said. Mr. Paul Rush (who also serves as band director), Mr. Randy Cloonan, Mr. Tony Dominick, Ms. Emily Clawson, Mr. Adam Manion, and Mr. Vince Faith will be taking orders both behind the counter and at the drive-through window.

Sorry Lisa safety comes first. I don't care about the cost involved. There are other ways to save money that to keep him in the school due to cost. As for teachers being verbally abusive, DO something about it if you know the who what and where. I would never put up with a teacher verbally abusing my child. more ›
