Executive Director Message

November 2026
 
Dear Tillotson Families,
 
The first quarter is now behind us, and it was filled with growth, hard work, and meaningful moments across our school community. We have a lot to celebrate! 
 
Recent Happenings
 
October was full of learning and fun! We had three field trips: the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium, Carrie Furnace, and Soergel’s Pumpkin Patch. Opportunities for learning both inside and outside of the classroom have great impact on our student engagement!
 
We also had a wonderful turn out for Open House, and recently celebrated with a Halloween Party and Trunk or Treat. Thank you to everyone for your support!
 
We're also delighted to share some exciting news: Ms. Skyy Sales and Ms. Aleksandra Brozeski have joined our staff. Both bring energy, expertise, and a genuine commitment to our students, and we're thrilled to welcome them to the Tillotson family. Please join me in welcoming both when you meet them!
