Thanks to the generosity of a
Rosslyn Farms family, the district received a beautiful vintage grand piano for use in the choral room. With original ivory keys, the piano is in remarkable condition. Choral director Rebecca Chenette, pictured with ensemble members Nathan Latta, David Holderbaum, John Cantwell, Zachary Smith and Marco Moorby, has been using the piano daily as she rehearses with choral groups and says she will take great care to preserve the beauty of the treasured instrument.
Elementary teachers in the district often take advantage of the Lending Library sponsored by the Allegheny Intermediate Unit. Recently, kindergarten students at Crafton Elementary took part in coding exercises with the use of Puzzlets and a board game called Robot Turtles. Pictured, Colleen LaRiviere, Aaron Heffner and Joey Gawlas find themselves engaged as they work cooperatively to solve an abstract concept using a Puzzlet. Carnegie and Crafton elementary teachers are swift to utilize the AIU Lending Library, which allows educators to borrow technology tools for the classroom on a monthly basis.
Students in Lisa Ramandanes’ reading classes were very excited to receive books donated by Animal Friends after reaching skill levels. The Carnegie Elementary youngsters have been participating in the PALS program this year in cooperation with Animal Friends. PALS or Pet-Assisted Literacy Services helps to promote a love of reading by incorporating informal opportunities for students to read alongside literacy animals. Animal-themed story time gives pupils a chance to read aloud to a visiting dog or cat and learn about nurturing an animal.
