Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School's Student Council plans to hold a remembrance event for a student and bus driver who died Tuesday in the Interstate 79 school bus crash.

The crash in Muddy Creek Township took the lives of Brylee Walker, a ninth grade music major and newly elected student council member, and bus driver Lindsay Thompkins Jr. after the bus rear-ended a tractor-trailer on the evening of Nov. 2. Fourteen other students were on the bus when it crashed, one of whom was transported by helicopter for serious injuries and another by ambulance.

According to a recent post on the school's website, the Lincoln Park student council will hold a Celebration of Remembrance luncheon for students Nov. 12. The student council will sell various lunch items to raise funds for the Walker and Thompkins families. The lunch will also feature a live band playing Brylee's favorite music and a moment of silence to honor Brylee's and Thompkins' lives.

The student council is making it a “theme of the school year” to commemorate Brylee, a news release from the school said.

The following week, starting Nov. 15, the student council will host a non-perishable and canned goods drive for the food pantries in Thompkins' and Brylee's hometowns of Aliquippa and Hermitage, respectively.

To make donations to the families, checks can be made out to LPPACS with an attribution for the Brylee/Lindsay Fund and mailed to Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School at 1 Lincoln Park, Midland, PA 15059.
