Queen of Angels Catholic School students engaged in service projects
NORTH HUNTINGDON – Queen of Angels Catholic School students’ good works extend beyond the classroom. Their corporal works of mercy every month feature service projects to help others.
Principal Jennifer Filak said students in fifth through eighth grade use the projects as an anchor for discussion.
Students recently packed and decorated bags for children for the St. Vincent de Paul Society food bank. They also collected money for Catholic Relief Services for a water security program for use in the school’s barrel greenhouse.
Projects are sometimes done by the entire school, or specific to just certain grades.
Dress-down days benefit a cause each month; recent ones were providing paper product donations for the St. Vincent de Paul Society and donations to families in need of clothing or furniture in Kentucky.
Just before Christmas, students donated hats and gloves. They also voted on decorated classroom doors to raise money for Beverly’s Birthdays, which provides birthday parties to people in need.

Community, collaboration at Queen of Angels Catholic School
By Melissa Williams Brown
NORTH HUNTINGDON – Queen of Angels Catholic School continues to grow by leaps and bounds.
Enrollment increased from 169 to 225 last year.
“Preschool and kindergarten has taken off and continues to grow. Parents are very happy with our school,” said Principal Jennifer Filak. “When you walk through our doors, you can tell something very special is happening within these walls. We actually have a lot of legacy families, which are alumni whose children are now students. We want them to have the same experiences.”
The past few years, educators have focused on the “four Cs” of communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity.
What was once a traditional computer lab with rows of desktop computers has been replaced with a Makerspace, a work space for making, learning, sharing and exploring technology where students can collaborate and work as teams. A digital lab is in the works, with space for students to create newscasts, broadcasts and podcasts.
“Students are collaborating with one another, communicating with one another and using project-based learning in classrooms,” Filak said.
Through Odyssey of the Mind, students try to solve real-world problems. Last year, they focused on infrastructure for a waste-free city. The school also focuses on creative writing and visual arts. Outdoor learning is possible through a greenhouse and small trail bordering a creek.
“It’s been rewarding to see our students working together and feeling comfortable in presenting their work and digging into competitions, real world problems, and thinking critically,” Filak said.
