On November 21st, students in grades K-8, along with their families, gathered in the MPR to celebrate the great academic success of the first trimester. Families and students were greeted with breakfast, music, and great company. Students were then honored with many awards for their hard work and effort during the first few months of school. Awards given ranged from High Honor Roll to our Top Role Model scholar. This is a special ceremony that we at YSWPCS look forward to at the end of each trimester.

On Saturday, November 17th Young Scholars held their annual Barnes and Noble book fair at the South Hills Village store. Teachers, students, and families came together to celebrate a love of reading and Harry Potter!! We had musical performances by Mr. McClintock and cheerleading performances by the YSWPCS cheerleaders. Families were also able to make various crafts at our craft stations, go on a scavenger hunt around the store and get an early start on their holiday shopping. Proceeds from this years event will go to students in the school to promote a continued love of reading.

We have a lot to be thankful for at YSWPCS! On November 20th, we held a community Thanksgiving dinner in our cafeteria where staff and families ate and enjoyed together! Thanks to Lou and the crew from Getaway Catering for treating us to such a delicious feast!
