Logan Richman is a senior at Sayre Area High School. Logan will be playing Sky Masterson in this production. Sky is a suave, smart, handsome high-stakes gambler whose luck never seems to run out, and a wild card who surprises himself when he falls in love with missionary Sarah Brown.
Logan has been doing musicals since 8th grade starting with Shrek The Musical (Papa Bear), Wizard of Oz (Father and Winkie General), Frozen Jr. (Weselton), The Great Gatsby: A Live Radio Play (Jay Gatsby), The Little Mermaid (Chef Louis), Matilda (Michael Wormwood), The Music Man (Mayor Shinn), Moana Jr. (Fisher), and BIG- The Musical (Paul Seymour). Logan also participates in Student Council, FBLA, and GVCC.
Bella Russo is a senior portraying Sarah Brown, a pretty, bright-eyed woman who serves as Sergeant of the local Mission. Idealistic, sheltered, and straight-laced, she is passionate about her cause and wishes to convert the gambling sinners to saints. Sarah falls unexpectedly in love with gambler Sky Masterson along the way.
This is Bella’s sixth and final performance at Sayre High School having done The Music Man (Marian Paroo), The Little Mermaid (Allana), Wizard of Oz (Glinda), Shrek (Teen Fiona), and Cinderella (Fairy Godmother). She has done more than two dozen shows, working with various local companies. Bella has also worked behind-the-scenes: directing, stage managing, and lighting and sound designing with the BCRAC. Her extracurriculars include: OYW (first-runner up), NHS, SADD, Student Council, Tiny Mics (chief editor), concert choir, and PMEA County and District Chorus. After graduation, she plans to continue her education at DeSales University to study Theatre and Music.

To start our month of awareness and acceptance, we have created an Autism Awareness/Acceptance Spirit week. This week would be a great opportunity to teach different ways we can practice acceptance/differences/ and kindness. This month does not need to just be about Autism, it can be used to show how we all learn and grow in different ways. 🔴 3/31 - Magnificent Mind Monday - Celebrate how amazing it is that all of our minds work in different, wonderful ways by standing out with a different hairstyle. Wear your wildest/crazy hair. 🟡 4/1 - Neurodiversity Tuesday - Celebrate the beauty in the diverse spectrum of the human mind by wearing tie-dye or rainbow colors 🔵 4/2 - Light it Up Blue Day - Today is Autism Awareness Day! Wear blue to show support. 🟢 4/3 - Passion Thursday - One characteristic of some people with autism is to show incredibly focused passion for topics of interest. Dress to show your favorite hobby or activity. 🟣 4/4 - Sensory Friendly Friday - People with autism have a variety of sensory sensitivities. Dress up today in your comfiest clothes/PJs.

We continue to get to know our staff in 2025 by getting to know our secretary to the high school principal and the athletic director, Mrs. Karissa Laughlin. We asked her to tell us a little about herself:
“Some of my favorite hobbies are attending my kids sporting events and relaxing outside with a book.”
“Something my students might not know about me is that I have 2 children, ages 11 and 10 years old.”
“I chose to work at the high school because I've dreamed of working in a school setting. Previously I attended college to become an elementary teacher, but switched majors.”
“My favorite thing about SASD is that I love, love, love the small community where everybody is somebody. Sayre is a district where good manners and big hearts go hand in hand which makes it an honor to call myself part of the Sayre family.”
We are so thankful for Mrs. Laughlin and the many hats she wears for our school. She is a valued member of the Sayre family and we are happy she can testify to the culture we have worked hard to create as the little school with the big heart.
Thank you Mrs. Laughlin.
The second graders enjoyed a beautiful morning at Fay’s Maple Farm where they learned about the maple syrup making process and enjoyed a delicious pancake breakfast!
