IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PLACING YOUR ORDER
TSS Photography has a Convenient Picture Day Ordering Process. This process eliminates the need for paper order forms. You will SAVE TIME by PRE-ORDERING photos and products on-line prior to picture day. You can order on your computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device up to 4 days AFTER picture day. (We will have order forms on picture day if you are not able to place your order online)
Go to: www.tssorders.com
Enter the Event ID #27051258to get to your event.
Select Your Child’s class from the categories drop down list. Please be careful to select the correct Class. Look at the grade and the teacher before you select the team. This is the class photo you will receive in your order.
If you have multiple children, please place separate orders for each child and/or family photo. All orders are processed separately and ship separately through the automated lab.
Select your packages, package add-on or a-la-carte items and add them to your cart, then proceed to checkout. (If you have multiple children, we suggest you create an account at checkout as it will keep you from having to re-enter much of the same information on an subsequent order).
We accept PayPal, Credit Card, and Debit Card.
Once completed, you will receive an Order # as well as receive an email confirmation of your order. This information will automatically be captured at the camera stations and await your child to be photographed so we can assign their image(s) directly to that order.
IMPORTANT – when personalizing your items, be sure to enter your CHILD’s name and not yours. The order will print exactly as you enter it. Some items are personalized so be sure to fill in the fields for these items if you want them personalized.
Thank you for your cooperation – we look forward to seeing you this Friday! Please call or email with any questions at 412-344-3100 or healy@tssphotography.com

Grandparents and Special Friends Day – A grand and wonderful total of 125 guests visited our students on Friday October 12! We enjoyed family photo sessions, an informative Dove Presentation by Mr. Tom Berich, a majestic Dove release and then our guests came to 813 South for refreshments, toured the building and heard about what is next for PUCS. They can join us in our excitement! Thank you middle school and parent volunteers!
Sacred Spaces Tour – PUCS hosted 70+ visitors on Saturday, from greater Pittsburgh interested in our building, school history and our plans for the future. Our Artwork from Art Expression Day was featured on the walls and on tables, and people loved it! The celebration with food and DJ in the Sanctuary was a delightful time and we are proud of our school and our place in Wilkinsburg. Thank you to Jennifer Chenoweth for her leadership on this event and to our parent and student volunteers!

Our small but mighty group demonstrated excellence, perseverance, and team spirit as they supported one another through challenging practices and meets and worked hard to improve their times. Thanks to coaches Ben Love and Karen Boyer, captains Grace Boyer and Ella Bindewald, and our many parent volunteers for keeping everything on track! Please be sure to congratulate our novice girls’ team for their second place team trophy from yesterday’s Winchester Thurston Invitational! Congratulations to the 2018 PUCS cross country team for a great season!
The Garden Needs You!
The Outdoor Classroom and Garden have been bustling with activity already this fall, especially thanks to our unit on birds! In addition to learning how to observe the details of nature and care for our space and plants, we are now painting a bird bath made from terra cotta pots. We are also very much in need of the following:
A few handy people to put together a metal shed (from a kit).
Date TBA based on availability as a group.
One or two handy people to pour a simple foundation for the shed, anytime.
LOTS of 2L plastic bottles WITH CAPS… for making bird feeders
Old wooden spoons/spatulas… for making perches on the bird feeders
Pinecones, for making bird feeders

School Chess program: Please email Christy if you would be interested in an after school chess program. An outside group is offering the program. We would hire a PUCS parent to work with them.
Parents-Have you ever considered being a chapel speaker for PUCS? Or have you heard a speaker and thought he or she would be a good speaker for PUCS kids? Contact Christy Wauzzinski at christy.wauzzinsk@pucs.org if you have an idea for a PUCS Chapel speaker.
