BACKPACKS-TO-GO PROGRAM
As you do your back to school shopping, please think of Penn-Trafford's Backpacks-to-Go Program. The Penn Trafford Backpacks-to-Go Program is a supplemental nutrition program provides a backpack filled with meals and snacks every other weekend to district children enrolled in the program, made possible through donations from community members, businesses, organizations, and churches in the surrounding area, and PT staff. If you would like to make a monetary, gift card, food or backpack donation, please contact Lauren Traill at trailll@penntrafford.org or 724-744-2161 or Lisa Popovich at popovichl@penntrafford.org or 724-744-0302. If you feel that your child could benefit from receiving a backpack during the 2018-19 school year, please contact Mrs. Traill or Mrs. Popovich.
STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
What is the Student Assistance Program?
The Student Assistance Program is designed to provide various services to meet your child’s social, emotional, behavioral, and academic needs. The primary goal of the Student Assistance Program is to identify students at risk and help those students to overcome barriers in order for them to be successful in their everyday lives.
Another goal of the Student Assistance Program is to facilitate collaboration between home and school and provide interventions and/or referrals to internal or external support services in order to address student needs.
Please see brochure link below:
BOX TOPS
We are collecting box tops for Trafford Middle School. This is the first time we are collecting in the middle school. I'm hoping it will be as successful as it is in the elementary schools. Any box top donations would be greatly appreciated. If your are able to donate, please have your child bring the box tops to my classroom (room 215).
