The Official Newsletter of MMI Preparatory School

from the Head of School

Hello Everyone!

I am excited to share the happenings here at MMI since our last newsletter. I hope you are all doing well and enjoying a mild winter!

The basketball season got underway in the late fall and all of our teams and athletes played well. The games were well attended by faithful fans and the Prepper spirit was palpable!

In November, we recognized and honored our Founders, Sophia and Eckley Coxe, during a ceremony at St. James Episcopal Church where the senior class officers laid a wreath on their gravesites, continuing a long-standing MMI tradition. Immediately following the ceremony, the senior class visited and toured the homestead of the Coxe Family and learned about the history of the home, as well as the significant contributions to the community and philanthropy of the family. The tours were led by several MMI junior students along with representatives from the Coxe Foundation Board of Directors.

As part of the Founders Day celebration, MMI’s most recent alums were invited back to campus and enjoyed catching up with our faculty and senior class. The entire student body, faculty, and staff were treated to a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner before the holiday break by our Chef and her staff, followed by dessert sponsored by our Parents Association.

December began with our annual door decorating contest, a competition between Advisories. During midDecember we celebrated Holiday Theme Week and the students and faculty were invited to dress each day of the week in a specific theme. We had flannel day, wear red/green or blue/white day, ugly sweater day, and cozy day. The week ended with the viewing of the beautiful gingerbread houses, created during Club period by our students. Everyone really enjoyed the creativity and fun of the week!

Also in December, Mr. John Hersker ’76, Vice Chair of the MMI Board of Directors, was interviewed by me in an assembly style format for MMI’s FBLA students. The interview provided the students with insight into Mr. Hersker’s post-high school experience which ultimately led him on a path to a very successful business career. After the interview, Mr. Hersker answered questions from the audience and then spent time individually with the students to continue their discussion.

I am very much looking forward to the spring and all of the flurry it has to offer at MMI! Boys tennis, baseball, and softball will be launching this season, and I can’t wait to see everyone at these exciting events! Our students need our support!

On the upcoming calendar are Open House, the Prepper Playhouse Spring Musical, the Parents Association Springo Bingo, the Philadelphia Mini-Reunion for our alumni, the Spring Concert, Prom, and Graduation. It’s hard to believe they are not far away now! We will be moving quickly in our planning for all of these great events.

I remain enthusiastic and steadfast as the MMI Head of School. I have enjoyed getting to know our students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends, and community members during my first year as Head of School! It is truly an honor. I invite you all to stop by the school for a visit. We are doing great things in Freeland, and our door is always open!

Best,

Theresa Long Head of School

Cover Story (continued)

and independent and place them in meaningful jobs or further education. Job Corps is the Nation’s largest free education and job training program for young adults, and Keystone is among the nation’s oldest Job Corps Centers having opened its doors in 1967.

At the time of his retirement, after 26 years at Job Corps, Mr. Herring was the Business Community Liaison. In this position, he was responsible for information distribution to federal, state, and local agencies related to the Job Corps mission. In addition, he coordinated the relationship with community organizations and Keystone. He organized meetings, public functions, and community event participation for both students and staff of the facility. His job titles in his earlier career at Keystone included: Work-Based Learning Coordinator (Internship and Apprenticeship Program), Career Technical Training Instructor, Occupational Exploration Program Coordinator (Vocation Counselor), and Advanced Career Training Coordinator (College Counselor).

“Throughout his career in Job Corps, Cal’s passion for helping young people discover their potential was always front and center. He was quick to engage and empower his students, much like he did as a manager at St Joe’s,” stated Kelly King, Center Director.

While Mr. Herring had a successful career in our area, his dedication to his community and his immeasurable service is what sets this MMI alum apart. During his time at MMI, Mr. Herring served as the President of the Interact Club, the School’s service organization. While he was at the helm of that Club, the members sponsored four dances at MMI, sponsored a Brazilian foster child, provided holiday gifts to patients at the White Haven State School and Hospital, served as ushers at school events, and improved the appearance of the school grounds. He was the manager of the Prepper boys’ basketball team for three seasons and was inducted in 2006 to the MMI Wall of Fame in Athletic Achievement as part of the legendary State Championship team from 1973.

In the 1974 edition of The Minamek, Mr. Herring was recognized as the most likely to “hang around the Firehouse” illustrating his true passion for fire service. The residents of Freeland are fortunate to have dedicated volunteer firefighters, who respond when any emergency arises. Cal Herring has answered that call since 1976. He has been a member of the Freeland Fire Department for over 45 years as a Firefighter, Engineer, Committee Chair, Past Chief, and Line Officer. The Freeland Fire Department Relief Association recently installed their officers for 2023, and Mr. Herring will continue in his role as Treasurer. He is a PA State Fire Academy Firefighter Accreditation Evaluator, an educational position he has held for the past eight years. Mr. Herring has been a member of the Six County Firefighters Association for 40 years and

helped to organize their final annual convention this past May. Additionally, he’s been an active firefighter with Diamond Fire Co. No. 2 since 1994.

Freeland Fire Chief Joe Stepansky, also MMI’s Director of Facilities, said, “The knowledge and experience Cal has passed on to so many firefighters over the last 45 years is indispensable. He is a mentor to us all, is always the last one out in a fire, and has become a true friend.”

In addition to serving as a first responder, Mr. Herring has volunteered his time as a member of the Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors (2016-2022), the CAN DO Board of Directors (2016-present), the American Red Cross Hazleton Chapter Board of Directors (1992-1994), and as a member of the Hazleton Rotary Club (2018-present). In 2021, Mr. Herring assumed the role of Community Relations Chair and Student Action Committee Advisor at CAN DO, both positions he holds today. This past summer, he was presented with the Chair Award for his dedication by Chairman Charles Burkhardt at CAN DO’s 66th Anniversary Program and Dinner. Mr. Herring has served as a lector at Immaculate Conception RC Church in Freeland intermittently since 1975, and is currently a member of Parish Council at his church.

The father of three girls, Mr. Herring was active throughout their youth, especially in areas pertaining to his daughter Jessica’s love of softball. He served as an officer and coach in the Valley Freeland Girls’ Softball League for 10 years, coached softball at Bishop Hafey Jr./Sr. High School from 2000-2005, and was the Pennsylvania State University, Hazleton Campus, Softball Coach from 2005-2007. He also spent time as a Fastpitch Umpire for the Amateur Softball Association.

Mr. Herring and his wife, Debra, will celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary on April 23, 2023. Mrs. Herring worked as a registered nurse at St. Joseph’s Medical Center and later as a Certified Nurse Assistant Instructor at Keystone Job Corps Center. They are parents to twins

Jessica Witek and Megan Herring, and Ashley Herring. Jessica and her husband, Tadeusz, have two children, Zofia (5) and Jacob (3).

Ashley Herring is engaged to Mitchell Sharpe, is mom to Gavin (10), and is also a member of the Freeland Fire Department.

MMI Holds Annual Founders Day Events

Senior class officers laid a wreath on the Coxes’ grave at St. James Church in celebration of Founders Day on Tuesday, November 22. Donna Titus, MMI English Department Chair and longest tenured faculty member at MMI, provided a few words at the site. The class then toured the historic Coxe home and enjoyed refreshments. Upon return to the School, they worked with the underclassmen to provide the history of the School’s founders with a

MMI also welcomed back young alumni from the last five graduating years to visit with faculty, staff, and students. MMI Head of School Theresa Long said, “We have such a rich and memorable history. The honoring of Eckley and Sophia Coxe provides students the opportunity to engage in that history and learn how our school came to be and why we have so much to be thankful for now and for the future.”

Two MMI Students Named Coca-Cola Scholar Semifinalists

Seniors Khristian Banks and Jessica Zheng were named Semifinalists for the 2023 class of the Coca-Cola Scholars Program, moving to the next round of the selection process to become a Coca-Cola Scholar and receive a $20,000 college scholarship. A joint effort of Coca-Cola bottlers across the country and The Coca-Cola Company, the Coca-Cola Scholars Program is the largest corporate-sponsored, achievement-based scholarship program in the United States. With the addition of the 2023 class, the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation will have provided more than 6,750 Coke Scholars nationwide with over $81 million in scholarships over the course of 35 years.

MMI students participate in the PA FBLA Leadership Conference

Several seniors in the MMI Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) Club participated in this year’s State Leadership Workshop (SLW) at the Kalahari Resort and Convention Center in the Pocono Mountains in November. Kate Malay, Anden Karlick, Emely Lopez-Rodriquez, Ty McDermott, Jeffrey DeAngelo, Jessica Zheng, John Schwear, and Brenna Eckhart were the senior students who attended the Leadership Conference.

This year’s theme was “Imagine, Dream, Do!” and students participated in many interactive and engaging workshops such as “Entrepreneurial Edge”, “Trace the Trade”, and “Soft Skills in the 21st Century”. Students also enjoyed a behind-thescenes tour of the resort. Other activities included the Charity Walk, State Project T-shirt Sale, and the Silent Basket Auction to raise funds for the Make-AWish Foundation.

Sophomore Hayden Schwabe also attended in his role as the PA FBLA state vice-president at large. Schwabe worked with the other state officers and advisors of the PA FBLA State Executive Committee to plan the SLW and delivered speeches at both the Opening and Closing Business Sessions. He also led a workshop focused on FBLA Middle Level, a program designed to increase membership and involvement in FBLA for students in middle school.

MMI’s FBLA program is supported through generous sponsorships from Flashback Cinema and The Orlando Family Foundation.

In the Classroom

Director of College Counseling

Stephanie Shandra participated in a brandnew program designed to help grow, advance and “amplify” the strengths and skills of several of the area’s female leaders and workers.

Amplify: Women’s Leadership, a joint project founded by Leadership Northeast, the Greater Wyoming Valley Chamber of Commerce, and CEK Communication, graduated its inaugural class of 28 women from all different fields and business specialties with a certificate ceremony held at the Think Center on South Main Street in December.

The 7th grade Ancient Civilizations class created their own clay tablets using cookie dough. They had to write out sentences using Mesopotamian cuneiform. Later in the year, they were assigned to perform a “soap opera” style skit going over the story of pharaohs Thutmose I, II, III and IV.

AP Biology students examined catalase enzyme activity by modifying operating temperature range, pH, or enzyme concentration. They used paper disks in the enzyme and then transferred them to micro environments containing hydrogen peroxide. As the oxygen bubbled out of the disks, they would rise. This lab helped students conceptualize how environmental changes drive the evolution of functional enzymes.

In the Classroom (continued)

8th grade American Government classes tried to solve the case of the lost colonists on Roanoke Island. They had six stations which allowed them to move around and analyze primary sources from the island and colonists. This class also created dioramas depicting one of the Bill of Rights. The objective of the project was to create how a student views that amendment in the United States, either currently or during the time period it was established.

In Mrs. Katie Zucco’s 6th grade World Cultural Geography class, students have been learning about the physical features of the Earth. They conducted research, wrote reports, and created beautiful diorama displays of the various World Culture Zones.

Students in World Religions class learned about different holidays around the world and competed in a high stakes game of Dreidel for coffee and sweets!

Ancient Civilization students in 8th grade were assigned an ancient Egyptian pyramid project while learning the process of embalming, mummification and the use of pyramids. Each student was assigned to create their own pyramid, sarcophagus, and hieroglyphics. They also had to include five artifacts they would want to take to their own afterlife.

MMI students learned more about what a CRNA does before Thanksgiving when past parent Debra Minzola, Director of the Geisinger/Bloomsburg Nurse Anesthesia Program, and her students visited Mr. Michael Mele’s science classes. Students got to experience intubating, gowning/gloving, epidurals, and more.

Language classes celebrated the Three Kings on January 13 by providing a full assembly to the MMI student body. Students wrote and starred in their own play, gave the history of the Three Kings, and 10th and 11th grade students presented their piñatas and hats representing various Spanish speaking countries.

MMI Celebrated the Lunar New Year as Chinese language students created projects and decorated the School to commemorate the Year of the Rabbit. Students enjoyed an authentic Chinese lunch in late January and wore red to mark the start of the 15-day Lunar New Year celebrations.

On the Road

Students in 6th grade, 9th grade, and those taking AP Environmental Science visited Lacawac Nature Sanctuary on November 7 where they conducted water quality and biota studies on both the glacial lake and the nearby ponds. 6th grade conducted a water ecology study of the on-site pond, collecting and quantifying specimens. The 9th and 11th grade students conducted an advanced water quality study of the glacial lake, collecting samples at depth for oxygen and temperature profiles, performing titrations for nitrate and phosphate levels, analyzing turbidity, and assessing the local aquatic vegetation. The students sampled with various instruments including secchi disks, Van Dorn bottles, Dissolved Oxygen probes and field chemistry kits. After collecting data, they gathered for lunch and listened to a presentation about their findings, environmental changes, and the significance of the lake, conducted by the onsite science director, Dr. Beth Norman. The students were assisted by Mrs. Laurie Mele, Mr. Michael Mele and Mr. Justin Vincent.

Senior Chinese and Spanish language students attended Language Immersion Day at the University of Scranton on October 24.

Daniel Paul Kostick ‘54

Daniel Paul Kostick ‘54 passed away on December 17, just a few months after the death of Janet, his beloved wife of 60 years. Daniel is survived by his three children, Lori Pittinger; Robert Kostick ‘82 (Jean); and Renee Reynolds (Keith); and his many grandchildren.

Dan grew up in Beaver Meadows and the hub of this small town was Kostick’s Market, owned and operated by Dan’s parents, Mary and Michael. The family lived above the market and spent many hours downstairs in the store. Dan and his siblings, Eugene, Raymond ‘48, Doris, and Paul spent much of their childhood loading and unloading trucks, filling orders, and helping with the family business. The market was a busy place, especially during huckleberry season when Dan and his brothers would drive from one small coal mining town to another to purchase the wild berries local residents had picked.

Dan graduated in 1954 from MMI and at the age of 17, met the love of his life, Janet Lawrence, then 15. He attended Pennsylvania State University for a year before joining the U.S. Army, where he served for two years in post-war Germany. Following his military service, Dan enrolled at Villanova University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering. He then went on to work at General Electric Corp. During one of his holiday visits back to Beaver Meadows, Dan and Janet ran into each other again. In 1962 they married and together they raised three children and welcomed 10 grandchildren.

Dan worked for General Electric in Philadelphia for nine years. In 1970, he and Janet returned to the Hazleton area and opened a Burger Chef restaurant. The burger business was not as profitable as they had hoped, and just three years later, they closed its doors for good. He then became a Pizza Hut franchisee, a business that saw enormous success and growth. Dan and Janet went on to own 13 Pizza Huts in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties.

Over the years, Dan Kostick showed his support of MMI in a variety of ways. He served as master of ceremonies for MMI’s 110th Gala Celebration. He was the commencement speaker for the Class of

2001. Back in the early 1980’s he began the MMI cross-country program and served as the team’s first coach. His commitment to making an MMI education possible for children of all economic backgrounds began during his tenure as an active MMI Board Member (1981-1989). During that time, Dan and Janet established the first of their two scholarships, The Michael and Mary Kostick Endowed Scholarship, in memory of his parents. During the Campaign for MMI that began in 2010 and culminated with the growth of MMI’s Endowment, the creation of the MMI Athletic Field Complex, and the construction of The Joseph A. Turri ’45 Library and Learning Center, the Kosticks established a second scholarship, The Daniel P. ’54 and Janet Kostick Endowed Scholarship. The combined value of his two scholarships within MMI’s endowment surpasses the $1.1 million mark. He was inducted into the MMI Wall of Fame in 2010 for his service to MMI and was a member of MMI’s Honorary Board until the time of his passing.

Every year during Orientation before the start of school at MMI, all new students are given a copy of the book, Growing Up in Coal Country by Susan Campbell Bartoletti. This book was a favorite of Dan’s and he felt that every MMI student should be aware of the history surrounding our school. He funded the purchase of 500 copies of this book directly from the publisher for MMI to share with all incoming families for the next few years. Dan was a true friend to MMI and his smile, kindness, and unflappable love for his family and our school will be greatly missed.
