DirectBuy of Pittsburgh Donates a Kitchen for the Providence Heights Alpha School Auction

PRLog (Press Release) – Apr 19, 2008 – The auction was open to all families of the school and helped contribute funding for the school’s science Program.

“Last year, DirectBuy of Pittsburgh helped fund the new science lab that students have enjoyed learning in all year,” said Julie Tsounos, a representative for Providence Heights Alpha School. “We can count on their participation at our annual gala every year.”

The donated kitchen was purchased by John and Mary Beth Gailbraith of Pittsburgh.  The Gailbraiths have children who attend the school and were very excited to participate in the auction.  Mary Beth and John were so happy with the Decora kitchen that they decided to join the Pittsburgh center to finish some extensive remodeling in their home.  

“We are very satisfied with the products available through DirectBuy,” said Mary. “The level of service and product knowledge we receive at the Pittsburgh showroom is incredible!”

Doug and Paul Barrante, owners of three Pittsburgh-area DirectBuy showrooms, are former students of the school and were very happy to contribute the Decora kitchen.  “As former students, we feel thankful for the education we received and want to contribute to the growth and learning of the current and future students of Providence Heights Alpha,” said Doug Barrante. “The school is one of the best in the country, and we fully support its curricula.”

Providence Heights Alpha School is a private, Catholic, coeducational school located on the 40-acre campus of the Sisters of Divine Providence. Since 1926, Alpha School has educated children to be independent thinkers, imaginative problem solvers and caring, compassionate individuals.

Voted one of the 25 most innovative Catholic schools in the country, Alpha School provides outstanding instruction in fundamental skills while encouraging original thinking, intellectual curiosity, moral growth and creative self-expression.
