A MESSAGE FROM THE
CHAIRMAN
ear Friends,
Extra Mile supports
the education of
urban children
in a faith-based
environment that emphasizes
a culture of caring, mutual
respect and high expectations.
The importance of our work
cannot be overstated.
Thanks to Extra Mile, and all
those who support it, parents
have access to two excellent
elementary schools for their
children: St. Benedict the Moor
in the Hill District and Sr. Thea
Bowman Catholic Academy
in Wilkinsburg.
In these schools,
dedicated teachers
challenge children
to reach within
themselves and
learn. In these
schools, children come to
the realization that they have
talents, that they matter, that
they have well-formed lives
to live for their families, their
communities, for themselves.
Additionally, scholarship
support is made available
to urban children attending
several other Catholic schools
serving urban neighborhoods.
In this past year, we have
broadened involvement among
young professionals thanks
to our Young Professionals
Advisory Committee (YPAC),
which has enabled us to reach
out to more people through
sponsorships and events.
We thank all those who support
this essential cause, from longtime donors to those who joined
us for the first time this year.
And we continue to invite more
and more to join us.
J. Christopher Donahue
Chairman of the Board
A MESSAGE FROM
B I S H O P D AV I D A . Z U B I K
y Dear Friends,
On behalf of the
Extra Mile Education
Foundation and the
Diocese of Pittsburgh,
I thank and salute
all our supporters — from
generous donors to community
partners and volunteers such
as the young professionals
group that helps to raise
money and awareness within
their peer groups.
Through your support and
involvement, you are extending
a hand that gives children with
limited opportunities a firm
educational and
moral foundation
and a future
with limitless
opportunities.
answered a call from a friend
to learn about Extra Mile and
then funded a scholarship
program.
Thank you all so very much.
And you are
making it possible for people
and organizations to join us.

University’s School of Music,
as an example, have formed
a band program for middle
school children at St. Benedict

A MESSAGE FROM THE YOUNG PROFESSIONAL
A D V I S O RY C O M M I T T E E ( Y PA C )
n its third year, Extra Mile’s Young Professional Advisory Committee (YPAC) continues
to execute its vision of serving as a team of diverse, creative, and energetic individuals that
support Extra Mile’s mission of helping children and their families meet the challenge of
obtaining a values-based, quality education.
To date, we have raised more than $80,000 in unrestricted funding through our increasingly
successful annual Extra Bases for Extra Mile fundraiser, Sponsor a Student campaign drives,
direct giving and other miscellaneous fundraising activities. These funds directly enable Extra
Mile to continue its critical mission of shaping not only the future of the children and families
it supports, but the communities in which it operates.
Moving forward, we are thrilled to continue supporting the Extra Mile as a volunteer body and
to identify further ways to build awareness, raise funding and invoke thoughtful leadership.
From everyone on the Young Professional Advisory Committee, we thank you for your
continuing support of the Extra Mile Education Foundation.
Sincerely,
Shawn O’Brien
President - YPAC

YEAR IN REVIEW
An Extra Mile-supported education offers so much more than reading, writing, and arithmetic! That is where
Extra Mile’s partners enter the picture. Our corporate partners give our students and teachers opportunities to
experience learning - whether it’s curriculum or social skills — in new and creative ways. We are very grateful
to our generous partners.
Cyberchase
A phone call in the late winter
of 2007 was the start of a
great partnership. Cyberchase
was a PBS children’s program
sponsored nationally by Ernst &
Young. The program’s animated
heroes were regularly confronted
by problems that involved the use
of good math skills to solve. In
addition to its corporate support,
Ernst & Young wanted to involve
employees in the classroom using
the television program as part
of the instruction. They enlisted
the aid of the public television
affiliate in each of the cities where
they had a major presence and
planned their volunteer activity.
When one of the selected cities
withdrew from participation,
William Thomas — an Extra Mile
alumnus who works for Ernst &
Young in New York — suggested
the city of Pittsburgh and Extra
Mile as perfect partners for
Cyberchase.
For five weeks each May, a team
of volunteers arrive at the chosen
school (St. Benedict and
Sr. Thea Bowman rotate annually)
where they lead the third grade
in activities that both engage and
excite the students. The five-week
program concludes with a field
trip to the Pittsburgh Zoo and
certificates of achievement for
each participant.
Ernst & Young volunteers have
gone beyond Cyberchase
in Extra Mile classrooms to
provide Christmas gifts, outdoor
landscaping with assistance from
the eighth grade, and planting the
school’s brand-new urban garden.
Dancing Classrooms
Dancing Classrooms launched
in 1994 as a not-for-profit
project of the American
Ballroom Theater Company. It
is an arts-in-education program
that teaches ballroom dance
to students of participating
schools. Dancing Classrooms is
an in-school residency for every
child, regardless of his or her
background or experience.
“While Dancing Classrooms is
hailed as an effective program
for teaching social dance, it
provides many other benefits.
Dancing Classrooms is about
creating an atmosphere that
allows students who are typically
introverted and reserved to step
out and shine. It focuses physical
energy and increases health
through the joy of movement. It
builds self-esteem and interactive
social skills as it improves
children’s confidence and their
ability to relate to others.” —
DancingClassroomsPittsburgh.org
The Dancing Classrooms program
was introduced to the Extra Mile
schools through the collaborative
work of Mercy Behavioral Health,
which operates the program, and
McAuley Ministries, which funded
the program in its inaugural year.
Begun as a classroom activity
for fifth-grade students, Dancing
Classrooms now includes an
eighth-grade component that
allows students who participated
in fifth grade an opportunity to
brush up on their dance skills.
A series of competitions are
held at the conclusion of each
semester, leading up to the Colors
of the Rainbow finals in May and
the crowning of both fifth and
eighth-grade champions. The
program has been enormously
successful at the Extra Milesupported schools with students
placing in the semi-finals and
finals in past years.

YEAR IN REVIEW
Instrumental Music
In August of 2013 a shipment
of flutes, clarinets, trumpets,
trombones, saxophones and
percussion instruments arrived
at St. Benedict the Moor School.
Over sixty students from fourth
through eighth grade were
ready to put them to use in
the new St. Benedict the Moor
School band.
A partnership between the
Duquesne University Mary
Pappert School of Music,
McAuley Ministries, and
St. Benedict the Moor led to
the new program.
Dr. Paul Doerksen, Associate
Professor and Chair of the
Music Education Department
at Duquesne, guided the
development of the program.
“I NEVER KNEW I WOULD
B E G O O D AT F L U T E . I WA S
S U R P R I S E D . AT T H E S TA RT
O F T H E Y E A R I WA S N ’ T
GOOD BUT I GOT BETTER
AND BETTER. I LOVE
P L AY I N G T H E F L U T E . ”
( page 2 )
It was critically important that the
program be free to the students
and that it be sustainable.
Both goals were accomplished.
Undergraduate music education
majors from Duquesne University
teach group instrumental classes
twice a week to the students,
receiving invaluable classroom
experience.
The value of the music
instruction for the students was
shared in letters of thanks written
at the conclusion of the first year.
ASSET STEM Education
ASSET STEM Education is a
national Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math (STEM)
education improvement nonprofit.
It fosters STEM fluency and
college/career readiness by
providing educators of students
pre-kindergarten through
career with highly effective
professional development,
hands-on educational materials
and consulting services. At the
elementary level, it supports a
standards-based science program
through teacher professional
development aligned with
“ B A N D I S I M P O RTA N T T O
M E B E C A U S E I T TA U G H T
ME MANY THINGS
L I K E R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y,
TEAMWORK, RESPECT
AND PERSEVERANCE.”
hands-on curriculum materials.
Membership provides teacher
training for all teachers of science
as well as providing access to
the vast storehouse of science
modules that can be used in
the classroom.
St. Benedict the Moor and
Sr. Thea Bowman have been
participants in the program
for several years. McAuley
Ministries provided the funding
for the start-up of ASSET STEM
Education at St. Benedict the
Moor and the Ryan Family
Foundation provided support
for Sr. Thea Bowman Catholic
Academy.
