					<description><![CDATA[On December 11, 16 of our students participated in the Junior Achievement Stock Market Challenge, held at Stage AE on the North Shore. Students were organized into five teams and spent the day immersed in a fast-paced, real-world investing simulation.Competing against 79 teams from across the region, one of our teams (Sara Ilnicki, Jeyri Gonzalez-Medina, and Alexa Perez) earned an impressive 10th-place finish, demonstrating strong collaboration, financial literacy, and decision-making skills under pressure.

The challenge simulated 60 days of stock market activity in a single day, with each minute representing one trading day. Teams were allowed to make up to three trades per day, requiring students to analyze market conditions, make strategic decisions, and adapt quickly to changing circumstances. Participation in the JA Stock Market Challenge provided students with a hands-on opportunity to apply economic concepts, practice teamwork, and gain valuable insight into how financial markets operate in real time.

Thank you to high school teachers, Mr. Andrew Oliastro and Mrs. Kristen Bardelli, for all of their work getting the teams ready to compete.]]></description>

				<link>http://www.cornellsd.org/apps/news/article/2057060</link>
				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.cornellsd.org/apps/news/article/2057060</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[On March 27, 2025, six 10th-grade students from Cornell High School took part in the Student Sustainable Design Challenge in Pittsburgh, PA. This regional event encouraged student engagement with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through real-world problem solving.

The Cornell team began their journey at a kickoff event, where they learned about the SDGs from expert presenters and participated in round-table discussions with professionals working in sustainability-related fields. Inspired by the need for fresh produce in underserved communities, the students focused their project on food insecurity.

After researching crops suitable for Cornell’s greenhouse, they developed a plan to grow vegetables for the local food bank in Coraopolis. To extend the impact of their project, the team also created and delivered a lesson on sustainable agriculture to two Environmental Science classes, who then selected and planted crops in the school’s greenhouse and classroom grow stations.

At the final showcase held at Rodef Shalom Congregation, students Drake Barr, Luke Stutzman, and Alexa Perez represented the group by presenting a poster and fielding questions about their work. They also connected with peers from other schools to share ideas and celebrate student-driven sustainability initiatives.

Through this project, Cornell students not only addressed a local community need but also inspired younger students to take part in sustainable agriculture efforts.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dear Parents and Guardians,

Athletic Cooperative Agreement Announcement:

Cornell Families:

The Cornell School District is happy to report that we have entered into a cooperative athletic agreement with our neighboring school district, Moon Area School District.  Cornell will still keep fielding the teams that we currently offer, but now Cornell High School students can participate in sports at Moon not offered at Cornell. The athletic teams that this cooperative agreement covers are:

    Boys and Girls Cross Country
    Boys and Girls Golf
    Girls Soccer
    Boys and Girls Tennis
    Boys Volleyball
    Boys and Girls Rugby
    Boys and Girls Lacrosse
    Gymnastics

If any family has any questions they can contact Coach Sacco, Cornell School District Athletic Director, at 412-264-5010 ext. 126.

Important:  Any student who is interested in playing a cooperative agreement sport at Moon, must be registered online at the athletics registration website:

Pa.8to18.com/moonarea

Sports sign-ups, and physical packets must be completed online before student-athletes can participate.  Coach Sacco has physical forms as well.  After registration, each student-athlete must undergo a physical exam by a doctor and have the physical form that is current for the school year turned in to the athletic office in addition to the current baseline concussion test on file in order to participate.

Cornell is excited to bring these opportunities to our students, and everyone is looking forward to this partnership!

Dr. Aaron Thomas
Superintendent]]></description>
