Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School's Student Council plans to remember 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.

According to a recent website post from the school, student council will hold a Celebration of Remembrance luncheon for students Nov. 12. Student council will be selling various lunch items with the funds to benefit the Walker and Thompkins' families. The lunch will also feature a live band playing Walker's favorite music and a moment of silence to honor Walker and Thompkins' lives.

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

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

To make donations to the families, checks can be made out to LPPACS and mailed to Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School.
