Feb. 15, 2024

Boyce Middle School raised more than $1,704 for the Children’s Home of Pittsburgh through a Valentine’s Day fundraiser. Boyce students delivered the donation in-person during the organization’s radiothon in conjunction with iHeart Radio’s BIG 104.7 country radio station on Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2024.

In addition to the donation, students presented Valentine’s Day cards for the Children’s Home staff and children. The students were accompanied by school counselor Tonia Autieri and reading specialist Marissa Dyer.

Held in conjunction with Random Acts of Kindness Week, the Outreach Committee of Student Council organized the Valentine Gram initiative. In exchange for a donation, friends and family members could send a Valentine message along with a POP IT to a Boyce student. The Valentine Grams were delivered to students during homeroom on Wednesday, Feb. 14.

Boyce Middle School last partnered with the Children’s Home of Pittsburgh for the school’s annual Friendship Gift Bag service project in December 2023.
