Students get rewarded after collecting thousands of pounds of recycled materials from the school.
Haine Middle School students are recycling champions. After months of participating in a recycling competition, students in Susan Huber and Jeremiah Friday’s homerooms recently learned they have won the school contest—and will be rewarded with a surprise field trip. The contest was inspired by Haine’s participation in Keep America Beautiful’s “Recycle Bowl” competition, which the school entered last fall. At the time, students were hoping to learn about the value of recycling, and perhaps finish among the top schools in the state for the event. They had no idea what a big deal recycling would become just six months later. As part of the “Recycle Bowl” competition, the fifth and sixth grade students created a recycling program and …

Students at Haine Middle School and Rowan Elementary reccently took part in the 2012 Keep America Beautiful Recycle Bowl.

Saturday, November 24, 2012
Haine Middle School students are celebrating the holiday by giving back to those who are less fortunate. With the help of parents and teachers, the students in Amy Scott and Mary Burglund’s classrooms chose the Light of Life Rescue Mission in Pittsburgh as the focus of their Thanksgiving project. Light of Life provides for the homeless as well as families in need in surrounding communities. According to Scott, students decided that providing needy families with a complete Thanksgiving meal was the most important way they could make a difference on Nov. 22. While the Light of Life mission provides a turkey for the families, the nonprofit relies on donations to make it a complete meal. The middle schoolers made donations and collected …

If it were up to these sixth-graders, Romney would have won the vote Tuesday.
Republican Mitt Romney has been declared the next President of the United States—at least he has at Haine Middle School. On Tuesday, sixth-grade students conducted a mock election. Using their own version of the Electoral College System, which they learned about in class leading up to Election Day, they chose Romney as the nation’s leader. In real life Nov. 6, President Barack Obama defeated Romney. But sixth-graders didn’t know that early Tuesday as they threw their support behind either the Democratic or Republican contender. Based on population, each of the 14 sixth-grade classrooms were given a “state” and a certain number of electoral votes after students voted in the popular election. On stage during an assembly Tuesday, those …

There were beach balls, flower leis and even palm trees as sixth-graders celebrated their last full day as Haine Middle School students Thursday with the annual beach blast party. “It’s kind of a tradition here at Haine,” said Susan Linton, one of the Parent Teacher Organization members who helped to organize the event. “It’s the last hurrah.” In the fall, the preteens will be head to Jackson Township to attend the seventh-and-eighth-grade middle school at Seneca Valley’s secondary campus, which also includes the intermediate and the senior high school. But first, they were ready to party. The send-off celebration for the students included a dance party, volleyball and basketball games, a photo booth and karaoke. There also were chances to…

When Walmart donated $100,000 to Pennsylvania’s six Junior Achievement chapters earlier this month, Haine Middle School in Cranberry was chosen as the check presentation site. “Haine has a lot of programs with us at the middle-school level, and they are mostly going to be benefiting from the donation from Walmart,” said Lauren O’Leary of Junior Achievement of Western Pennsylvania. Dedicated to educating students about workforce readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy through hands-on programs, Junior Achievement is a national nonprofit. The $100,000 will be used to support the organization’s “Graduation Pathways” program, which encourages students to stay in school and graduate. Middle school is a key time to reach out to …
