Shouting out these Pittsburgh Arlington PreK-8 Kinders for Showing Up in a big way in May! 👏👏👏 To celebrate good attendance, each day in May the kiddos got a raffle ticket for a chance to win a set of four tickets to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History! The more they Showed Up, the more chance they had to win--and it made a difference!

It has been so much fun helping the Kindergarten team celebrate the hard work their students have put in all year. 💛🦅 These Arlington Eagles are soaring!

It was a 𝓫𝓮𝓪𝓾𝓽𝓲𝓯𝓾𝓵 day for Walk & Roll at Pittsburgh Morrow PreK-8! 🤸🏿🚴🏿 Huge thanks to Pittsburgh Mobility and Infrastructure, Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, Bike Pittsburgh and the entire school staff and community for walking, rolling, and cheering on the kids as they made their way to school today!

Thank you so much for joining us this morning Mayor O'Connor- we appreciate your leadership and participation!

A feel-good story to start your week 🩷 We continue to be impressed and inspired by the leadership and staff at Pittsburgh Arlington PreK-8 as they work to get to the root cause of any reason preventing their kids from Showing Up and shining!

It is our honor to deeply support these efforts with planning team meetings, daily attendance data deep dives, attendance incentives, community partner connections, PTO and event support, and so, so much more.
