Summary
Three Mellon Middle School student council leaders told the Mount Lebanon board they raised $695.50 for Saint Clare's Breast Center from pink‑out sales, collected 11 large boxes in a November food drive, and are running a '12 days of holiday spirit' program with PBIS incentives.
Three Mellon Middle School student council members provided the board with a monthly report on Dec. 8, highlighting recent fundraising and student‑engagement efforts.
Student council representatives reported final pink‑out merchandise proceeds of $695.50 donated to Saint Clare's Breast Center, in addition to $591.50 raised earlier through a T‑shirt sale with Commonwealth Press. They described a three‑Friday food drive in November that yielded 11 large boxes of donations for local families and noted a class‑run drive by the Class of 2027 that collected 2,000 items and $227 for the Pittsburgh Food Bank (reported separately by student representatives). The Mellon students also detailed a '12 days of holiday spirit' program running through Dec. 19 with daily themes, PBIS prizes and raffle tickets for participating students.
Students said several eighth‑grade members attended the Pennsylvania Association of Student Councils state convention and that the council will plan events in the new year, including 'Feel the Beats Friday' in February to support heart health.
