Burgettstown carnival
Burgettstown Area Elementary Center students spent June 1 at KeyBank Pavilion for the annual CHAMPS Character Education Carnival.
The program focused on anti-bullying strategies. The motto, “May the Learning Force Be with You! Bullying is Out! Friendship is In!” created by Abby Henke and Joely Cimperman, was printed on vinyl tote bags received by all students. This year’s T-shirt design was created by students Nathaniel Swihart, Deedra Closser and Aurora Monette.
More than 6,000 prizes were purchased and donated, with several local businesses contributing to the carnival. More than 300 volunteers were present.
