General McLane High School to host COVID-19 vaccine clinic
May 7, 2021
General McLane High School is proud to announce it is partnering with Allegheny Health Network’s Saint Vincent Hospital to host a COVID-19 vaccine clinic on Thursday, May 13, 2021.
The clinic will take place in the high school gymnasium from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The public is invited to participate.
“We are excited to work together with our health professionals toward the goal of getting more people vaccinated, especially our older students, for a healthier and safer community during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Richard Scaletta, Superintendent of Schools.
The Pfizer vaccine will be administered during this clinic, with the second dose planned for Tuesday, June 1 at the same time and the same location. Anyone age 16 and older are eligible for the vaccine and invited to attend.
The public can schedule a vaccine appointment for this clinic at https://www.ahn.org/coronavirus/vaccine/schedule/general-mclane-high-school.html or by calling (412) 362-8677.
Eligible General McLane students can download the necessary forms or pick them up in the high school front office. They will also be posted on the General McLane website, www.generalmclane.org.
Students will be scheduled by the high school. Any student that is 18 or older does not need parent permission to receive the vaccine, so the district is working to inform parents to discuss the vaccine with their 18-year-old students.

McKean Elementary wraps up Erie Playhouse program
May 3, 2021
A group of McKean Elementary School third graders are wrapping up a new virtual program offered in conjunction with the Erie Playhouse.
McKean Elementary physical education and health teacher Lisa Roberts has orchestrated the program, which began March 8 and culminates on Monday, with the Erie Playhouse. The Playhouse received a grant to sponsor a health program for elementary students and chose McKean Elementary to participate.
The program has incorporated acting and storytelling with the third grade’s existing curriculum covering social-emotional health. Some of the activities the third graders participated in included problem-solving, storytelling, reflection, role playing and a lot of imagination and creativity.
The program will culminate on Monday, May 3, with a final program that invites family members and parents to join their students to talk about the program, ask questions and play games and activities together, which will last around one hour.
This program was created to help young students build self-esteem, understand and recognize emotions, self-regulation, express themselves, and improve communication skills
Mrs. Roberts co-taught the program with two drama educators Leah Mathie and Dominic Del Greco, both from the Erie Playhouse.
The students will received weekly lessons via Microsoft TEAMS and met each week to discuss the class themes and participate in activities.

McKean Elementary ‘walking to the Tokyo Olympics’
May 3, 2021
McKean Elementary students are undertaking a unique fitness challenge – they are trying to accumulate enough miles to walk to the Tokyo, Japan Olympics in 2020.
McKean Elementary Physical Education teacher Lisa Roberts is orchestrating this 5-week virtual program, where she’s tasking students to log the miles each person in the family completes, walking or running, each week in a Google Form.
The goal is to accumulate more than 6,500 miles, which would be equivalent to the distance from McKean to Tokyo, Japan.
Each week, Mrs. Roberts is sending out emails with information on the Olympics, as well as some fun facts about Asian culture for all participants.
The program began on April 19 and will run through May 23. There will be a random drawing for four McKean Elementary students and one faculty/staff participant for weekly prizes. At the end of the program, there will be four drawings for big family prizes, Mrs. Roberts said.
