"A Night with the Ice Queen" Introduces Grade Schools to Positive Behavior

Clairton preschool and elementary students enjoyed "A Night with the Ice Queen." Families of students enrolled in Clairton's Pre-K Counts program and kindergarten through fifth grade at Clairton Elementary School gathered in the high school auditorium on December 18th to hear stories and a lesson on positive behavior.

High school volunteers post with the "Ice Queen."

Mandie Russak of Fairytale Princess dressed as the popular Ice Queen character Elsa, read a storybook adaptation of "Frozen," and told children that royalty should be brave, strong, knowledgeable and kind.

Clairton City School District's transition team and public relations department organized the program. Volunteers included National Honor Society members, office duty students, student council members, and cheerleaders.

Blood Donors

Over 34 students and staff members took time to donate blood to the Central Blood Bank www.centralbloodbank.org. Pictured is Homecoming Queen Merceedez Wright after giving blood. The next blood drive will take place in May.
