MILLVALE HIGH SCHOOL CELEBRATES GRAND REUNION Millvale High School alumni have been celebrating together since 1998. A Grand Reunion is held every two years, which includes anyone who attended Millvale High from 1928 through 1971, when the high school closed due to a merger with Shaler. This year’s reunion took place on July 16, and proved no different from past years. Over 270 alumni gathered at the Croatian Center, located off of Babcock Boulevard, beginning at noon for a picnic of hot dogs and snacks. As classmates entered through the gate, they were provided with name tags and a raffle ticket for a basket raffle of donated items from committee members and a few outside donors. A DJ provided music to add to the festivities. Throughout the day tickets could be purchased for a 50/50 and a lottery tree raffle. A catered dinner was served at 4 p.m. and the event concluded at approximately 8 p.m. Everyone had a wonderful time renewing old friendships and all are looking forward to the next reunion, currently scheduled for July 14, 2018. SHALER AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT PROJECTS Over the summer, Shaler Area School District began work on two projects within the district that will improve facilities for students, student athletes and community members. In June, crews began a project to update Titan Stadium, located on Mt. Royal Boulevard. The project includes replacing the running track surface and installing FieldTurf on the playing field, as well as installing new lighting. The completed project will allow for more sports teams and community groups to utilize the facility, and provide an improved track surface for community and school use. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of September. Construction work also officially began to construct a new, fully accessible, state‑of‑the-art primary school at the site of Rogers Primary School on Scott Avenue. The new 82,279-square-foot K-3 Primary School will be a two-story structure that will accommodate 460 to 600 students. The school is designed to house each grade level in its own neighborhood of classrooms and special education rooms, and includes additional parking capacity, enhanced security features, a separate cafeteria, library, I LOVE IT HERE.
