IN Brentwood-Baldwin-Whitehall Summer 2017 | Page 73

The Brentwood High School graduation project has taken on a new look. Instead of students completing 50 hours of individual volunteer work, the entire senior class rallied together for one service project. The Class of 2017 helped set up for Drop the Puck on Cancer. Students were proud to serve our community and help local families who have been diagnosed with cancer. Brentwood students are planning to help each year as the day brought all of the teens closer together and helped others in need. Pet Toys Recently, 95 Brentwood High School students came together to help Julianna Winkowski and Josh Gildea with a project for Pittsburgh’s Youth Advisory Council entitled Project-Pet. Students created over 100 bunny toys, 200 cat toys and 300 dog toys to donate to Animal Friends. Julianna and Josh also collected a variety of pet supplies to help care for pets. The day was filled with fun and for a good cause. Dedicated Staff Retire Middle school counselor, Mrs. Karen Manning, mathematics teacher, Helen Hughes Smith, and special education secretary, Ms. Marie Schmitt retired from the Brentwood Borough School District at the end of the 2016-2017 school year. These individuals have provided valuable service to the students, the district, and the community during their tenures. We wish them many years of health, happiness, and relaxation as they enter this new journey in their lives.
