‘A great hobby’
Ham radio enthusiasts gear up for field day
By Jon Andreassi Staff writer
The Wireless Association of the South Hills (WASH) is one of many clubs across the country preparing to take part in the annual amateur radio field day later this month.
Members of the club will gather at the Sunset Hills shelter in South Park for the event, which runs from 2 p.m. June 28 to 2 p.m. June 29. Field Day is organized nationally by the American Radio Relay League.
“The purpose of it is really to do a number of things. One is to give people, the members of the public, an opportunity to interact with and engage with ham radio operators and learn about our hobby, and learn about the value we can provide to people. Particularly in times of disaster with emergency
communications,” said Tom Galante, president of WASH.
The ham radio enthusiasts work to set up their radio equipment and establish communications with others across the country.
The members are licensed radio operators, so those without a license will only be allowed to observe and ask questions. However, Galante says the license requirement should not be a deterrent for those interested.
“It’s not hard to get a license. The club
will help people get involved in the hobby,” Galante said. “With this hobby, you can get very basic equipment that will get people on the air for under $100.” According to Galante, amateur radio operators help provide the National Weather Service with information during storms. Galante also volunteers during the Pittsburgh Marathon to help coordinate traffic and emergency services.
Upper St. Clair budget
includes tax increase
The Upper St. Clair School Board adopted the district’s 2025-26 final budget totaling $108,436,040 during its June 11 meeting. The budget includes a 3% millage increase of 0.9180 mills – resulting in a final millage rate of 31.5150. In November, the board approved a resolution limiting any possible 2025-26 tax increase to within the inflationary index determined by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Passage of the resolution assured taxpayers that any proposed increase to the real estate tax rate would not exceed 4% or 1.2238 mills. Three key factors negatively impacted the budget:
Allegheny County’s common-level ratio: The rate has steadily declined from 100% in 2013 to 52.7% in 2025. The budget includes a $750,000 revenue loss attributed to real estate tax refunds related to the common level ratio. Rising health-care costs: The budget includes a $500,000 increase in the cost of medical coverage. Cumulatively, over the last three fiscal years, the cost has increased 28.7%, or more than $2 million.
Mandated state retirement contributions: Retirement contributions increased by $400,000 over the previous year. Salaries and benefits total nearly 72% of the
budget. The budget includes the elimination of one classified staff position through attrition. A special education teacher and support aide were added using federal funding. Otherwise, the district is maintaining the same staffing levels, including not filling the assistant superintendent and senior director of operations and administrative services positions. The budget includes a one-time use of $725,000 from the district’s fund balance to offset expenditures related to fully funding bus and technology equipment purchases.

Urchick wraps up her tenure as president of Rotary International
By Brad Hundt Staff writer
bhundt@observer-reporter.com
“My year as president has flown by,” is how Stephanie Urchick describes her 12-month tenure leading Rotary International. And the year that has flown by has been full of flights to far-off locales to spread the word about what the service organization does. Urchick has also had her passport stamped as she has represented Rotary International at conferences and other events. Japan, Turkey and Ireland have all been on her itinerary, and before her time as its leader ends on June 30, she will be at the helm of Rotary International’s convention in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
“Rotary remains an opportunity for me to give back to the world and continues to give me a sense of purpose,” Urchick said by email, as she was preparing for the gathering.
A native of Monessen, a resident of Canonsburg and a longtime member of McMurray’s Rotary, Urchick has
been only the second female president of Rotary International in its history – women weren’t even allowed to join until 1989. As of July 1, Francesco Arezzo of Ragusa, Italy, will take over as president. He was chosen by Rotary International’s board of directors earlier this month after the sudden resignation of Mario Cesar Martins de Camargo of Brazil, who was chosen in 2023 to be president in the 2025-26 term. De Camargo cited personal and business obligations in his decision to resign.
During the last year, Urchick has been living in a condominium in Evanston, Ill., near Rotary International’s headquarters. The presidency of Rotary International has been the culmination of more than 30 years of Rotary membership for Urchick. She initially joined in 1991, when she was looking to meet new people after getting divorced, and in the decades since has served on committees dealing with strategic planning, operations and other areas.

Urchick
She has been a Foundation trustee, and has been on service missions to places like the Dominican Republic, where Rotary was installing water filters, and Vietnam, where members helped build a primary school.
Over the last year, does Urchick feel like she has met her goals as Rotary International president?
“This is a tough question because a year goes by so quickly,” she said. “I believe the organization has met so many of the goals we’ve prioritized during my tenure as president, from championing peacebuilding to evolving Rotary to attract and maintain members.”
How about if she had more time?
“If I had more time, I’d continue to prioritize these efforts to ensure Rotary remains a compelling option for those with a heart for service and fellowship, and as a past Rotary president, I’ll continue to communicate about the importance of membership growth and peacebuilding.”
Outside of Rotary, Urchick has worked in education, entertainment and consulting and operated the McMurray-based consulting and training company Doctors at Work LLC. She has degrees
from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, the University of Pennsylvania and Duquesne University. When the sand runs out on her Rotary International presidency days from now, Urchick says she will remain active in McMurray’s Rotary. In recent years, membership in service organizations like Rotary, as well as the Kiwanis, Lions and Optimists clubs, has been falling due to a confluence of factors, from the COVID-19 pandemic, to changing work habits and shifting demographics. Urchick believes that Rotary –or any service organization – can increase their membership through “flexibility and adaptability.”
According to Urchick, “The great thing about Rotary today is that our clubs exist in many different formats and styles and they’re working to mirror our communities in terms of gender, age, culture, socioeconomic status, special interests and causes, and so many other characteristics.”
And even as she ends her profile role with Rotary International, Urchick says she will continue to be an active advocate for the organization.
“By and large, not only do organizations like Rotary fill service and funding gaps, they also foster a sense of belonging and make participants, myself included, feel valued.”

WASH has about 50 active members, consisting mostly of people who live in the South Hills of Allegheny County and northern Washington County. Galante described those members as coming from “every walk of life.”
“There are people in the club who are blue-collar workers, attorneys, engineers, doctors and people who drive trucks for a living,” Galante said. According to Galante, the club is always hoping to get more interested in amateur radio.
“PEOPLE THINK THIS IS A HOBBY FOR GRANDPAS, AND IT’S REALLY FOR EVERYONE.”

Upper St. Clair High School celebrated the 347 members of the Class of 2025 during the school’s 65th annual commencement ceremonies held June 5 in the stadium.
Senior Class President Emma Toosi kicked-off the event with an inspirational message and Student Council President Ryan LaRocco delivered the student welcome. Student speakers included Kriti Gupta, Ishaan Sharma and Ben Seewald.
In his prepared remarks, Dr. Timothy Wagner, principal, praised the Class of 2025 for its optimism.
“I have seen firsthand the collective optimism of the Class of 2025 and how it has amplified what you have accomplished,” he said. “Those here today supporting you have always understood that you have limitless potential. Accessing that potential begins with an optimistic outlook. I hope that a spirit of curiosity, lightheartedness and optimism stays with you always.”
Dr. John Rozzo, superintendent of schools, spoke about legacy, not as an abstract idea or a plaque on wall; but as something created and passed on through everyday actions.
“In Upper St. Clair, legacy matters,” he said. “It’s our shared responsibility, not just to uphold it, but to build on it.”
The Class of 2025 included 22 valedictorians: John Owen Bell, Samuel James Berger, Ryan Oliver Buonomo, Hannah Sophie Del, Ian Abraham Dvorin, Anna Rose Engelman, Caleb William Guarino, Meredith Reese Huzjak, Yelena Knobel, Ryan Louis LaRocco, Kesahi Mathanachandran, Benjamin Thomas Mur -

BP Army veteran receives new roof
By Paul Paterra Staff writer ppaterra@observer-reporter.com
Michael Sirochman’s home was in need of a new roof, but the 93-year-old Bethel Park veteran could neither afford it nor take care of it on his
Thanks to the collaboration and generosity of several organizations, Sirochman’s problem has been solved.
Since 2016, as part of the Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project, the company has partnered with contractors and charitable partners to help more than 675 veterans in need. Contractors volunteer their services, and Owens Corning donates the roofing materials.
Inks Installations and Habitat for Humanity combined to remove the roof from Sirochman’s home and replace it with a new one.
“At this age, I could never go up there, which I did several times (in the past),” Sirochman said recently. “I’m glad they did it, on the account of me being in the service.”
The roof of the home that Sirochman lived in all of his life was not in total disrepair, but it had become worn. He lived there with his wife, Angeline, who died in 2020. Sirochman served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. Rob Brophy, president of Inks Installations, said work included replacement of the roof, repair of downspouts and installation of new siding and painting.
“We took care of some issues we saw,” Brophy said. “I think everybody holds these veterans close to their hearts. If we can help, we’ll do it.
“A lot of times people in those positions don’t even know where to start or what to do and leaks come into their house and they live a way a veteran shouldn’t live,” he said.
Sirochman is grateful for the work that was done.
“It’s wonderful,” he said. “I couldn’t be more thankful. I pray to God for all of those people that were involved.”

Ready to lead
USC hires McConnell-Serio as head coach
By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor
ebailey@thealmanac.net
July is a milestone month for Suzie
McConnell-Serio of Upper St. Clair.
The two-time Olympian celebrates her birthday on the 29th. During that time frame, she’ll also become a grandmother as her oldest daughter, Jordan, is expecting a baby.
“We don’t know whether it’s a boy or girl but I think that’s good because I think it’s a great moment when the baby is born and you find out then,” McConnell-Serio said. “I’m excited for them to have that.”
McConnell and her husband, Pete, are thrilled, too, to become “babysitters” but they vow to continue pursuing their passions. Now fully retired, Pete spends time on the links. He is an avid golfer.
McConnell, meanwhile, is rabid about basketball and she has moved into the position her husband has held for the past 11 seasons. She has been hired as the head coach of the Upper St. Clair girls basketball team.
“I will have time to coach,” McConnell-Serio assured. “I’m not doing anything else. We’ll help take care of the grandchildren as my parents did for me with my kids.”
In addition to Jordan, the Serios reared three other children, Peter, Mandi and Madison.
“The bottom line,” she added of moving from assistant to head coach, “is I am passionate about the game. Basketball is a very big part of my life.”
The daughter of Tom and the late-Suzanne McConell was weaned on hoops. She played at Our Lady of Loreto Elementary School in Brookline with her sister, Kathy, before both went on to help Seton LaSalle win a district title and PIAA state championship in 1984. That squad was recently inducted into the WPIAL’s Hall of Fame.
“Being from western Pennsylvania, there is so much emphasis on winning WPIAL championships. There is nothing better than winning a WPIAL title in high school sports so being an inductee was exciting,” said McConnell-Serio, who also is an individual WPIAL HOF honoree.
“To get to go to Hershey and then compete for a state championship and win is something special, too,” she added.
Because McConnell-Serio had a special relationship with her brothers,
Tom and Tim, she blossomed into a renowned collegiate player, an Olympian and a WNBA Hall of Fame honoree. Tom went on to become an elite college coach while Tim led SLS to a WPIAL runner-up title and Waynesburg University to a 27-2 record and an appearance in the NAIA Tournament while setting records for assists before racking up 662 coaching wins at the scholastic level complete with nine WPIAL titles. While at Penn State, McConnell-Serio set NCAA Division I records for career assists, assists in a season and season assist average. She was the first Nittany Lion lady to garner first-team All-America honors. Then she went on to win a gold medal at the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul, Korea and a bronze medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics while representing the United States. McConnell-Serio played professionally for the Cleveland Rockers, earning WNBA Newcomer of the Year laurels and All-WNBA recognition.
Area athletes earn All-America girls lacrosse honors
Several girls within The Almanac readership area have been recognized by USA Lacrosse. Among those garnering All-America laurels were: Juliana Betts from Chartiers Valley; Quinn Murdoch from Mt. Lebanon; Emma Kail from Peters Township and Anna Capobres from Upper St. Clair. All are midfielders. Betts and Murdoch are juniors who led their respective clubs to the WPIAL championship finals. The Colts finished runner-up in Class 2A while Murdoch’s Blue Devils won the Class 3A title for the second straight season.
Kail and Capobres are recent graduates. Kail led the Lady Indians to a WPIAL playoff berth. A Pitt recruit, Capobres guided the Panthers to the semifinals in the Class 3A tournament.
All four players were also named to the All-WPIAL list as well as their respective all-section teams as first-team honorees.
Scotlyn Paxton, a rising senior midfielder at Bethel Park, earned scholastic all-academic distinction from USA lacrosse. She also was an all-section, second-team performer.
Among the area’s other all-WPIAL picks were: Lucy Pryor and Cali Green from
Mt. Lebanon; Megan Witte and Kaitlyn Kuczinski from Chartiers Valley, Lizzie Dorley from Seton LaSalle and Alexis Marn from Upper St. Clair. All also gained all-section, firstteam acclaim.
Additional all-section performers for Class 3A included:
■ From Bethel Park – Cami Fisher and Liliana Centoganti (first team); Pippa King (second team); Cami McNees and Sarah Neal (honorable mention).
■ From USC – Mea Musillo and Riley Powell (first team); Sara Groninger, Katie Sweeney, Sidney Schalk (second team); Molly Powell (honorable mention).
■ From Lebo – Grace Manning (first team); Ann Tinnemeyer and Aubrey Betler (second team); Chloe Shea (honorable mention).
■ From Peters – Ava Maloni and Dana Anderson (first team); Abby Yates and Anna Kokozynski (second team); Sabrina Coleman and Eiley Zurich (honorable mention).
Additional all-section performers at the Class 2A level included:
■ From Char Valley – Natalie Palumbo (first team); Ava Warzinski and Mallorie LaGamba (second team); Ava Antonucci (honorable mention).

Aunt Suzie gives T.J. thumbs up
By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor
ebailey@thealmanac.net
Less than 24 hours into her new job as girls basketball coach at Upper St. Clair High School, Suzie McConnell-Serio took her first day off. She had a very good reason.
After being hired on June 10, she traveled to Indiana to watch her nephew, T.J. McConnell, play in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Her husband, Pete, and son, Peter, were among a contingent of McConnells in attendance as T.J. set an NBA record in a 116-107 Pacer win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
“My goodness,” McConnell-Serio said. “We are so proud of him and to have the opportunity to go to the game with my dad, six siblings, husband and son was an amazing experience. It was a great night and fun to watch him play.”
As his aunt, McConnell-Serio has watched T.J. grow up. She wasn’t sure he could emulate her own WNBA career, let alone collegiate prowess, when he was a youth.
“When he was a little kid, he told us he was going to be in the NBA but we weren’t sure,”
said McConnell-Serio. T.J. played for his father, Tim, at Chartiers Valley High School, setting career and season scoring records. Like his aunt, he led the Colts to a WPIAL championship and an appearance in a PIAA state final. During that 29-2 senior season, T.J. averaged 34.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game. After playing two seasons at Duquesne University, earning Atlantic 10 Conference Freshman Of the Year acclaim, McConnell transferred to Arizona. He gained notoriety as a point guard, guiding the Wildcats to two NCAA Elite 8 appearances. He was an AllPAC 12 selection. Although he was not selected in the NBA draft, he signed a free agent contract with Philadelphia. After four seasons with the 76ers, he signed a two-year deal with Indiana in 2019 and has played with the Pacers ever since.
“As we watched him continue to work and develop as a player and his style of play, you could see he was creating his opportunity,” McConnell-Serio said. “He was fun to watch for sure at Duquesne

Lusk, Miller, Petras named WPIAL scholar winners
The WPIAL announced the 2025 James Collins Scholar-Athlete Award winners and three area athletes from The Almanac’s readership area were among the 20 recipients.
In its 34th year, the program recognized 10 males and 10 females from a pool of 158 nominees. Winners earned a $1,000 scholarship to attend the college of their choice.
This year’s group brings the amount of scholarship money given by the WPIAL through its James Collins Scholar-Athlete Award to $759,000 since 1992.
Among the local male award winners were Colton Lusk from Peters Township, Luke Miller from South Fayette and Ryan Petras from Bethel Park.
Lusk was a four-year varsity letter winner in golf at Peters Township High School, serving as captain for three seasons. Last fall, he captured the WPIAL individual title. As a junior, he guided the Indians to district and state team championships.
Lusk garnered all-section, all-WPIAL and all-state accolades three years in a row. Additionally, he owns school records for nine-hole round lowest score, lowest single-season scoring average, and lowest career scoring average.
Lusk is a two-year member of the National Honor Society and an assistant coach at the KJGA Golf Academy. He was selected to attend a leadership summit at the Heinz History
Center. Lusk also volunteers at church, the animal shelter and during food and coat drives.
Lusk maintains a 4.7 GPA in the classroom. He will continue his golf career at Siena College.
Miller owns eight varsity letters in track and field, both indoor and outdoor, as well as in cross country. He also holds school records (indoors) 400-meter dash, 4x200-meter relay, 4x400-meter relay, and (outdoor) 4x400-meter relay.
He helped the 4x400 relay to a sixth-place finish at the WPIAL track and field championships last spring. He qualified at that event for the New Balance Indoor Nationals held recently.
Miller maintains a 4.52 QPA and is a member of the National Honor Society. He has participated in the Science Bowl and helped the Quiz Bowl squad win a regional title this school year. The team was a two-time runner-up at regionals previously.
Miller is a talented musician, having played the trumpet in the concert band and with the wind ensemble for two years and Miller gives of his time to Feed the Starving Children, South Fayette basketball and track camps, Pittsburgh Marathon, NHS tutoring, Stuff-A-Bus Toy Drive, and at the Allegheny County voting polls on Election Days.
Petras claimed eight varsity letters, earning four each in baseball and football. He also participated in indoor track, qualifying for the Adidas indoor Nationals as a sophomore.
A two-year captain of the baseball team, he helped the Black Hawks win a PIAA championship as a freshman and two section crowns. He has played on two WPIAL runner-up clubs.
A captain of the football team his senior year, Petras led the Black Hawks to a conference championship as a junior.
Named all-state in both sports, Petras was des -
ignated as the Allegheny Six Offensive Player of the Year in football three times, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Class 5A Player of the Year and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette All-Area in baseball as a junior, and The Almanac AllStars in football three time. In addition to owning school records in football for career catches and receiving yards and baseball for career stolen bases, Petras is a member of the National Honor Society, Student Leadership Committee, and Best Buddies. He devotes time to a yearly clean-up of Lions Park, counseling at youth baseball and football camps, volunteering at the Bethel Park Baseball Association’s concession stand and as an assistant coach for the community’s youth basketball program. Petras owns a 4.2 GPA. He plans to major in business while playing football at Duquesne University.

Coach FROM PAGE B1
She has coached professionally in the WNBA with the Minnesota Lynx and collegiately at Duquesne University and the University of Pittsburgh. She also was the girls basketball coach at Oakland Catholic High School. In 13 seasons, she racked up 321 victories complete with five WPIAL titles, three PIAA banners and five state championship appearances.

and Arizona. It’s amazing but not surprising he made it because of how hard he plays.”
“T.J. is a spark,” McConnell-Serio said. “He changes the game.”
For the season, T.J. averaged 9.1 points, 4.4 assists and 2.4 rebounds. He converted 51.9 percent of his field goal attempts in leading the Pacers to the NBA Finals.
Off the bench, T.J. has dominated the playoff action. In the game the McConnell clan attended, T.J. set a league record. He became the first player in the history of the NBA finals to score 10 points, record 5+ assists and 5+ steals in 15 minutes. In Game 5 of the finals, a 120-109 loss on June 16, T.J. ignited a Pacers rally. During a third-quarter surge, where Indiana closed a double-digit deficit to five points, T.J. scored 13 of his 18 game points in a seven-minute span. In 22 minutes of action, he also dished up four assists and grabbed four rebounds.
McConnell-Serio said that she will “draw” from all her experiences as she transitions from her position as her husband’s assistant to the head coaching slot at USC.
“Obviously there are quite a lot of experiences,” she said. “Being able to help young players become the players they want to be is the main objective.
“I want to help these players, these young ladies in their teenage years that are so impressionable, figure out what they want to do next. I want to help them get to where they want to go.”
While she admits to being far removed from her scholastic playing days, McCon-
“So long ago,” she mused. “Each championship is different and each is special. I know I have talked to Pete about this but putting that medal around the players’ necks and to see their smiles and share in that joy with them. In that moment, it is so rewarding as a coach,” McConnell-Serio said.
“Knowing you helped players accomplish that is a tremendous feeling and very fulfilling as a coach, but it’s up to the players to go out and win.”
The Lady Panthers and McConnell-Serio have work to do to attain the heights the former coach reached.
Pete Serio was 152-105 with nine of his 11 teams reaching the WPIAL playoffs. The Lady Panthers participated in four WPIAL finals. USC won the Class 6A title this winter and finished runner-up in the state after falling to Perkiomen Valley in the PIAA championship game.
USC graduated seven seniors, including Kent State re-
“My husband always said never follow a winner and I am doing exactly that,” McConnell-Serio said. “The biggest hurdle is maintaining that level of expectation and success after losing all those players. The question is who is going to step up and maintain that level.”
Continuity concerned McConnell-Serio. That was part of the reason why she decided to stick around after her husband announced his retirement. For the future of the program and for the players that remain, she returned to the bench.
“Having been a part of the program at USC, I enjoyed seeing its growth and watching Pete bring success. I’d like to continue that,” she said.
“I always assumed when he was done, I was done, too, but I didn’t want to walk away from the players still in the program,” she continued.
“USC is a great place. I enjoy working with the administration and the athletic director. Everything,” she added. “It’s a great opportunity to work with fantastic people. I am looking forward to it.”

SF teacher recognized nationally
Sometimes changing things up can be an award-winning decision.
Veteran second-grade teacher Rebecca Colangelo switched her focus for the 2024-25 academic year to fill a need at South Fayette Elementary School. She stepped into the role of STEAM teacher for all students in kindergarten through second grade.
It was a transition she was excited about and more than proficiently prepared, as evidenced by her recent recognition by ISTE+ASCD (a partnership between the International Society for Technology in Education and the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development) as one of 20 up-and-coming individuals who are already making a difference through their work.
According to a news release from ISTE, nationwide winners of this award have exemplified excellence through projects or artifacts that others can replicate.
Honorees will be recognized at the first ever co-located ISTELive and ASCD Annual Conference. It will take place June 29 through July 2 in San Antonio, Texas.
Other awards to be presented at the event include the Impact Award, Distinguished District Award, and Distinguished Educator Preparation Program Award.
“ISTE+ASCD is proud to spotlight the innovative leaders, educators, and school systems who are redefining what’s possible in education,” said Richard Culatta, CEO of ISTE+ASCD.
“This year’s awardees represent a global movement to accelerate meaningful learning, and we’re honored to celebrate their vision and impact.”
Colangelo’s STEAM Learning Lab was a hub of creativity, curiosity, and hands-on learning. Students engaged in a wide range of projects designed to inspire exploration and critical thinking. She inspired a curiosity-filled journey, where every learner became a scientist, engineer, artist, and explorer. Highlights included growing hydroponic produce in the Flex Farm, programming Bee-Bots to follow plant life cycle; learning basic computer coding through Scratch and Scratch Jr.; planting sunflower and lima bean seeds, and

discovering the importance of seed dispersal; exploring seasonal themes through activities like parachute drop zones and snowflake design challenges; and an embryology unit that culminated in hatching ducklings in the classroom.
Colangelo incorporated engineering challenges that brought science to life with projects like building apple towers, designing pumpkin catapults and pulleys, and constructing simple machines. Students also explored flight by creating paper airplanes and helicopters. In addition to science and technology, She also used the Learning Lab to celebrate culture and creativity. Students created personalized culture jars, studied inspiring change makers such as Lonnie Johnson, Frida Kahlo, and Wangari Maathai, and learned about how the cherry blossom trees in Washington, DC were gifted from Japan.
“This year, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to share my passions with our youngest students and to introduce projects that, in the past, were limited to just my second-grade classes,” said Colangelo.
“It’s been incredibly rewarding to see their excitement and curiosity blossom through hands-on exploration. I am so honored to have ISTE and ASCD support my ideas and to know that the lessons I have crafted as an elementary educator can be shared with others who want to bring unique, interactive learning opportunities to their students.”
The only other individual from Pennsylvania to be placed on the 20 To Watch list is also a Southwestern Pennsylvania educator, Constance DeMore Savine, who serves as Director of Curriculum and Instruction with Trinity Area School District in Washington.

Streams Elementary School in Upper St. Clair raised $2,343.29 to benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Students conducted a raffle during the school’s S.T.A.R. Night open house. Families could purchase raffle tickets for the chance to win several student-made items and teacher experiences.
