FOTT Trip April 2025

FOTT had another awesome trip this Sunday at Creative Reuse Pittsburgh! The day was filled with fun and innovation as members got hands-on with making shadow boxes and wooden sculptures using repurposed materials. Members also had the chance to tour the back of the building to see where the bulk of supplies are held. Michael Fox especially loved exploring the alleys and seeing all the materials up close. It’s always exciting to explore new places and experiences in the community!

Sunday Funday April 2025

Thank you for being part of our Matzah Bake Sunday Funday! It was truly a joy to see so many enthusiastic kids join us to bake matzah, create plague slime, and craft kiddush cups. Your participation made the event extra special and filled the day with fun and learning.

We hope you had a great time making memories and that the matzah you baked will bring extra meaning to your Passover celebrations. It was wonderful to see everyone’s creativity shine through, and we are so grateful for your involvement.

Wishing you and your family a joyful and meaningful Passover!

Moms gathered on Tuesday for an evening of relaxation and recharge. Thank you to Danielle from Open Up Yoga Studio who led our FC moms in a yoga flow followed by a reading of Daily Intention cards. Moms ended the evening with light refreshments complete with a DIY Acai Bowl. We loved being able to unwind and connect with one another and we look forward to our July Moms Night together.
