We started the school year with a new project called “Chalk for Inspiration”. PRIDE created positive messages on the sidewalks at some of the elementary and IMS Middle School. The messages were researched by member, Katie Jensen. Short quotes and simple art work were used to decorate the sidewalks for the returning students to read. The Team had fun while being creative. In October, PRIDE assisted SHIM with their Fall Food Donations by offered additional drop off locations on Saturdays at the Village Green Soccer Concessions and at the Community Center. We collected approximately 15 bags and boxes of food items and also received monetary donations for SHIM. Thank you to everyone who donated to SHIM and to the families who supported PRIDE by purchasing hot dogs, drinks and snacks during the games. At the end of October, PRIDE celebrated Red Ribbon Week by hosting a Red Ribbon Week Poster Contest at several of the elementary Schools. The poster theme needed to include a slogan explaining the danger of drug and alcohol use. Prizes were awarded to a 3rd and 4th grader at each of the participating schools. The PRIDE Team had a difficult time judging the posters as there were so many creative entries. PRIDE members also created posters with Drug Facts which were displayed at IMS. These posters were placed near the clocks in the classrooms and included statistics concerning what effect drugs had on the population over a period of minutes, hours, days and a year. At the end of Red Ribbon Week PRIDE hosted a Halloween Dance at IMS. PRIDE members provided the music, snacks and even offered hand drawn temporary tattoos. The IMS students came in costume and had a fun night with their friends. We finished out the week with a Hayride and Bon Fire at the Springhouse for PRIDE members and their families. During the holidays Pride of Bethel Park wanted to help share the joy. One of the things that we did to achieve this was to help collect items to make gift baskets for the Men and Women over seas who would not be able to celebrate with their families. Another activity was collecting food and monetary donation as people came by an award winning Christmas light house as Santa passed out candy canes to all the cars.
