Sarah Kornacki and Pranita Chakkingal have been accepted into the Pittsburgh Penguins Tech Academy. In its second year, the Tech Academy gives up to 100 local high school students the chance to learn from leaders in sports and business technology while participating in immersive experiences at PPG Paints Arena. The goal of the program, sponsored by CGI, is to explore new ways of thinking and the technology career possibilities open to today’s students.

South Fayette Intermediate School hosted a Foursquare tournament for fourth- and fifth-grade students this month. In order to participate in this tournament, each participant donated to the American Heart Association. The event began with a presentation about heart health. Then the students were split into teams for the tournament. The winning team members won a playground ball. Five students also received a kindness award and a jump rope. The students had a great time learning about their heart! The event raised $600 for the American Heart Association.
