Moshannon Valley Elementary School (Third Grade) - Mr. Liadis' Third Grade Class


This is Stanley Lambchop’s first year at Moshannon Valley Elementary School. Stanley’s third grade teacher is Mr. Liadis and there are 18 other students in the class. Our school district is located in central Pennsylvania. The district is small and rural with about 1,050 students. There is one elementary school in the district and we have four third grades.

Being close to State College, PA, makes Stanley and his classmates Nittany Lion fans. Penn State University is located about 35 miles from our school. We also enjoy cheering for the professional football teams in Pennsylvania. Go Steelers and Eagles! We also enjoy cheering on the Moshannon Valley boys’ and girls’ teams. The boys’ teams are called the Black Knights and the girls’ teams are called the Damsels.

When Stanley and his classmates aren’t rooting for their favorite teams, they are enjoying the outdoors. Living in a rural area, we have lots of open space for riding bikes or going for four-wheeler rides with our families. We have a number of state parks that are a short distance from where we live, so many of us enjoy fishing. Soon it we be deer hunting season in Pennsylvania, so “spotting deer” at night can be fun.

The class enjoys eating pizza. However, on special occasions like weddings, we eat foods from the Eastern Europe culture like pierogies (a crescent-shaped, filled dumpling) and halupki (stuffed cabbage). You may catch our students dancing the Polka or the Chicken Dance.
