The students of New Outlook Academy had a chance to volunteer with the “Play it Forward Pittsburgh” toy drive that was held at Century III Mall.
Founded in 2011, Play It Forward Pittsburgh is a children’s toy drive collecting gently used toys and offering them free to families who are in need or might be having a tough year. On Friday, December 11, our girls got the opportunity to be part of a volunteering team, stocking and organizing shelves to prepare for the event. They also helped families shop the next day. Tis the season to bring cheer!
The Summit Academy students, along with area probation officers, enjoyed a day with The Pittsburgh Steelers.
In addition to a lunch and tour of Heinz Field, the students had the pleasure of hearing words of inspiration and motivation from both Allegheny County Juvenile Court Judge, Jack McVay and former Steeler, Charlie Batch.
The Academy Charter School students had a hauntingly good time decorating their classroom doors. Here are the winners for the ‘Best Door Competition’ along with some honorable mentions!
