Teen Trip at the Carnegie Science Center on Sunday was a blast! We visited all four floors, which included an exhibit about Mars, a miniature railroad train and village, and the H2Oh! exhibit about Pittsburgh’s water systems. Thanks to our teens for making it a great day!

Moms’ Night

On Wednesday, our FC Moms got together for Moms’ Night: Cooking Edition!  The night included a DIY pizza station, a chopped salad station and a station filled with yummy treats such as a cannoli dip and dessert pizza! It was great fun and a chance for our moms to disconnect from their busy lives and reconnect with friends! Special thank you for our host committee: Deb Berlin, Jenn Layman, Karen Clay, Ronna Riffle and Stephanie Pawlowski for helping to plan such a wonderful evening!

Challenge and Opportunity
