The Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School

Welcome back to school! 🍎✏️ Listen to a message from PA Cyber CEO Brian Hayden. Let’s make this year amazing!

PA Cyber's "Moments in History" videos are now an Emmy-nominated series, having received a nomination in 2023 and now in 2024! Be sure to watch the latest Emmy-nominated video, “Moments in History: The Moonshot,” to learn about advances in space exploration happening right here in Pennsylvania. So much has changed since the last time the United States visited the moon in 1972. Find out why we must go back. Special thanks to Mike Hennessey at Moonshot Museum and Kerry Quinn at Astrobotic!

On August 14, the PA Cyber Board of Directors appointed Bob Bickerton as its newest Trustee. Bob joins PA Cyber with a background in marketing and recruiting in information technology, and he has held director roles in nonprofit elder-care organizations. As a resident of Beaver, Bob has previously served on the Beaver Area School District Board of Directors, the Beaver Area Heritage Foundation, the Beaver Area School District Education Foundation, and the Beaver Area Chamber of Commerce.

Today, PA Cyber staff had the opportunity to hear from leadership coach, speaker, and best-selling author of Culturize, Jimmy Casas! His message was truly inspiring!

From school project to thriving business! Meet Gabby, an entrepreneur, and PA Cyber middle schooler! Gabby had a project in Ms. Newell's Language Arts class this past year. Their project was to come up with a well-executed business plan. Little did Gabby know her business plan would become a reality! After her project was over, Gabby and her mom, Cheryl, decided to pursue the business plan, and here, "Nature's Cosmetic Delights" was born. 🍃 🌸 A little about the brand: With about 20 products (and growing), they offer everything from soaps and room sprays to lotions, cleansers, oils, balms, and more! The best part is that they wanted to use natural, safe, and beneficial ingredients for the skin! Since opening, they've been showcasing their products at markets, malls, and various local events! Cheryl says, "There are no limits for Gabby. Gabby is very creative, motivated, and always looking forward to the next thing—and she's an all-or-nothing kind of gal!" Together, they bring knowledge, confidence, creativity, and joy to their brand and community. We are #PACyberProud of Gabby and her entrepreneurial spirit!🌟

Congratulations to PA Cyber graphic designer Ed Miles for his incredible work on his local mural "Love Always Wins"! 🌟🎨 Ed's hip-hop, 80s-inspired design stood out and was selected by a panel of judges. He then brought his vision to life with his own hands, collaborating with The Genesis Collection nonprofit. Inside or outside of PA Cyber, Ed always brings infectious positive energy to his community.

This past weekend, we had the pleasure of co-hosting the Pennsylvania Association of Student Councils (PASC) planning meeting in Midland, PA! 🌟 PASC is about fostering leadership skills and positively impacting schools and communities. We can’t wait for the official fall conference and all the amazing opportunities ahead! #PASC #PACyberProud #StudentLeadership
