Park Elementary has been ranked #9 on Niche’s list of Standout Elementary Schools in Pennsylvania: https://www.niche.com/k12/search/niche-standout-elementary-schools/s/pennsylvania/.  The 2022 Standout Elementary Schools list recognizes public schools that are making a difference in their community.  The ranking is based on rigorous analysis of key statistics and data from the U.S. Department of Education.  

The Middle School held a “Fall Fest” for students who had no discipline referrals in October sponsored by our PTO and PBIS Program (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports). 

Students enjoyed a Spooktacular show performed by our HS Honors Choir to kick off the program, trick or treating, snacks, games and pumpkins in our pumpkin patch that they were able to decorate!

Congratulations to Mrs. MacDonald and Ms. Braszo’s period 2 classes for winning the poster contest! Winners will receive a donut breakfast. Also, congratulations to Xavier Abdullah was the winner of the candy give back raffle! He will win a gift card for his efforts!

Congratulations go out to Steel Valley Varsity Girls Soccer player Kelsey Salopek !!

Following the team’s loss in the PIAA semi-finals, Kelsey was honored with two additional awards.  To begin, she was named the “Moe Rosensteel Player of the Year.”  This award is given to one WPIAL female soccer player each year.  The award begins with a watch list of about 50 athletes.  Then a panel of coaches, journalists, and others narrow the field to three finalists.  After the finalists are announced, the panel then votes on the winner.  This award is prestigious because it does include all four classes and all WPIAL teams. 

Next Kelsey was named to the PA Soccer Coaches All State team.  This is the second year that she has received this recognition.  Following the All State recognition, Kelsey was named to the USC All East Region team.  She was one of four WPIAL athletes awarded this recognition.   

Way to go Kelsey!

Congratulations to the 1A Girls Soccer.  

Allegheny Conference Champions 

Thank you to Girl Scout Troop 16369 who generously donated to our Caring Closet and our Stand Together Group. 

The girls were so happy to be able to help locally after recentlyending their group ran by Melinda Fedoris, Katie Whitney and Jodi Strom. The girls finished as Juniors! Quite the accomplishment. 

In true Girl Scout fashion, these girls will impact others with their generosity and we are very grateful for their dedication and hard work for all of these years in our communities! Kudos girls! #Ironmenproud

The kindergarteners have been doing a fantastic job in the cafeteria!  Miss Judy, our lunch monitor, passed out certificates earlier this week to students who always follow the cafeteria rules.  Each week, additional awards will be presented to kindergarteners who go above-and-beyond at lunch.  Keep up the great work kindergarteners!   

Steel Valley SADD attended the Statewide Conference on November 1, 2021 at 7 Springs Resort.  Fifteen Students had the opportunity to listen to speakers such as Matt Bellace, psychologist, who talked about the effects of drugs and alcohol on the body and speaker Scott Pangnast, who shared his experiences with mental health.  At the conference, Ben Novotony was once again honored for his service to SADD with the presidential award.  Steel Valley SADD was also awarded the 2021 Activity of the Year for their online video series called Personal Perspectives.  These videos created by the SADD officers are short interviews with students, teachers, community members and more where the audience can see their perspective on the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol.  Steel Valley SADD is excited for their next Conference!

Playing games with partners is a great way to practice math skills. Second graders are gaining a strong understanding of place value as they use their math vocabulary words "tens" and "ones" to describe base-ten blocks.  One student provides a two-digit number while their partner models it correctly with their blocks.  Keep up the great work second grade!
