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 .
