Burrell High School’s 2019 homecoming queen skipped Saturday’s school dance to go to country star Carrie Underwood’s concert in Pittsburgh.
Homecoming queen Sara Novak said she and classmate Hannah Koziarski, both student-athletes, were told by district officials that they would be able to pick out an outfit from Underwood’s CALIA line sold by Findlay-based Dick’s Sporting Goods and get a workout with Underwood’s personal trainer before the concert.
What they and eight students from four other Western Pennsylvania districts didn’t know was that they’d also get to meet Underwood, and the country star would present $20,000 checks to each of their districts to benefit girls athletics.

“It was kind of weird missing (the homecoming dance) being homecoming queen, but I don’t really regret not going,” said Novak, 18, of Lower Burrell.

"The Girl Scouts is an incredible organization for some girls, but for me I wanted to… join the Boy Scouts… and eventually be able to achieve the eagle award which is a very prestigious award and opens up a lot of doors that previously were not open for young women."
Sydney first started tagging along to her older brother’s Boy Scout meetings when she was four years-old. By the time she turned 11, Sydney had met all the requirements to earn the highest Cub Scout award, except one.
"She's done the work, let her have the recognition any Boy Scout would get," Gary Ireland, the scout's father said.
