Congratulations to the Steel Valley Ironmen Baseball Team.  They received their WPIAL Championship rings through a generous donation from Mr. Joseph Ducar, President of the Campbell Foundation.  There was an assembly at the high school to honor the team and the coaches. "We are very proud of our team and our coaching staff.  They have brought pride and spirit to our school district and to our community.  They are a first class organization and these rings will be a great memento to remember their accomplishments.  The generosity of Mr. Ducar and the Campbell Foundation is amazing as always.  Joe Ducar is truly an advocate for our students,” said Steel Valley Athletic Director Shawn McCallister.

Steel Valley SADD members attended the Annual Pennsylvania SADD State Conference at Seven Springs Resort on November 4.  There, they joined nearly 1000 other SADD students from across Pennsylvania.  They heard from Keystone Speaker, De’Marco Fomby about how to combine their own unique passions and skills to create a strategy that will help them positively impact the people around them.  They danced to the SADD Shuffle and attended a variety of workshops such as “Text Less Live More”, “My Life Sentence” that was presented by a father who lost his teenaged son to driving while under the influence, “Minding Your Mind” about mental health, and Share the Keys which is a data-driven program designed to reduce teen driver crash risks.
