Help Support our 5th Annual Pajama Drive!
Please join us in providing a little love and warmth for local families this Christmas by donating a new pair of pajamas! This year we hope to collect enough to provide for families of refugees from Syria, elementary school age children in Mars and Butler, Beverly’s Birthdays, the Christmas in Appalachia initiative at Saint Aidan, and the North Hills Community Outreach, so all sizes are needed! Please see the flyer for details, and email me if you have any questions at juliebyrne@roadrunner.com.

Thank you!
Katie (6th grade), Lexie (5th grade), and Maggie (2nd grade) Miller

Classroom News
Technology Upgrades Continue
Last week, both campuses were upgraded with new iBoard Touches in the classrooms as well as the Ryan Center. The money for these improvements were part of the EANS funding (Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools) that the school received over the summer.
Readers and Writers
Congratulations to all of our students who participated in the Accelerated Readers (AR) Program. PTG provides an AR incentive four times a year for our young readers. There is a random winner selected from each grade and those students receive a $10 Barnes and Noble gift card for their reading accomplishments. The winners for the first quarter (listed from 1st to 8th grade) are: Madeline Berardinelli, Nora Hiserodt, Quinn McCabe, Ariana Krimble, Maria Hiserodt, Adelyn Greenfield, Giovanna Julian, and Gaby Ganoza.

Under the direction of Mrs. De Palatis, seventh grade students in her ELA class published their first school newspaper. The paper highlights happenings in and out of the school, including teacher and student profiles, movie reviews, and professional sports updates.
