An annual tradition at Steel Valley for many years, the Powder Puff King selection is a Student Government service project that raises funds for various charities. This year, the event raised $1,120.44 for The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Only junior and senior boys may participate, and the participant who brings in the largest donation is named Powder Puff King during halftime of the Powder Puff game. This year’s Powder Puff King is Silas Krupa who brought in $432.99 for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation!
Erin has been called a “leader in education,” for her endless pursuit of learning, her support of her fellow educators, her spirit of collaboration, and her selflessness for the sake of her students. Erin acts as a teacher, a cheerleader, and a friend to her students to ensure their future success. She is also a support system to her peers and shares her classroom strategies with other teachers. In addition to her daily teaching responsibilities, Erin is the student government advisor for Steel Valley Middle School. She has organized efforts to raise $1,200 for the Veterans Leadership Program of Western PA, donate 500 pairs of socks to local homeless shelters and collect 300 books for elementary school book drives.
