[Highland Park] Big Pour Tickets
by David Lagnese 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

This year is the 5th Annual Steel City Big Pour. You may have heard that tickets for this event sold out real fast- Nearly 3,000 tickets sold in 7 minutes! The reason the event sells out so quickly is because its really fun, and features great craft beer from 42 breweries, great local food from 24 establishments, and a whole bunch of art and music. It takes place within the confines of Construction Junction and serves as the annual fundraiser for CJ. It helps support CJ's mission of promoting conservation through the reuse of building materials. Check it out: http://www.constructionjunction.org/pages/bigpour If you are interested in getting tickets, we will have 2 sets of tickets this Saturday at the Farmers Market Cooperative of East Liberty. We will raffle off one set, and the other set will go to the highest bidder. The raffle\auction will be conducted from 7 am until noon, and will take place at the Kew Park Coffee Bar. These tickets can be used for either the afternoon session (12 noon to 3) or the evening session (5 to 8). The event is Saturday Septembeer 10th. Also, please note that there are a whole mess of related vents this year that are part of Big Pour Week. So if you can't make the Big Pour, you may want to participate in one of these events. You can check them out at the Big Pour Website, or just google "Big Pour Week"- http://www.constructionjunction.org/pages/BigPourEvents Thanks David Lagnese

[Highland Park] new Google group for PPS parents
by olga watkins 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

On the first official day of the PPS school year, we're inviting you to join the new Google Discussion Group, Pittsburgh Public Schools Open Forum for Parents. Another PPS parent and I have put together the Google group, open to all parents of Pittsburgh Public Schools students. Here is the link and below is a description. PPS Parents Open Forum <http://groups.google.com/group/pps-open-forum?hl=en> This group is open to all parents of children in the Pittsburgh Public Schools. This forum is intended to allow for public incident reporting regarding safety related issues in our schools. The only posts that will be subject to moderation are those that contain the names of minors, offensive language or personal attacks. Otherwise, please feel free to post and comment at your discretion. This is a public forum and teachers are also welcome to post. Group members will only be identified by the email address and information they submit, so the postings can be anonymous, however they must remain within the recommended guidelines; no profanity, no personal attacks. As school safety and our concern for our children are both a-political issues, we want to be clear that this discussion group is meant only to benefit parents and give them an outlet, outside the scope of PPS, to discuss their concerns about their child's school and share their school's successes and not as a vehicle to argue school or individual politics. We recommend not mentioning students names in these posts. "My son" or "my daughter and her friend" or "the second grade teacher" or "the lunch room attendant" are appropriate descriptions for public posts. Parents who recognize trends in their school's safety or lack of safety related diligence or in the location of troubling incidents (lunch room, bus, auditorium, etc.) are strongly encouraged to contact each other privately for follow up with their school's administrators. We feel that these discussion groups will allow parents to be more accurately and fully informed about these types of issues and thus allow them to make better decisions about which schools provide the best atmosphere for their children. Posts about effective and positive safety related incidents and measures in our schools are also welcome. There is a page for each school in the district. Please find the page associated with your child's school. Please limit your posts only to incidents of which you have first hand knowledge. Again, here is the link PPS Public Forum Link<http://groups.google.com/group/pps-open-forum/sub?s=YqgRchQAAAA2kz11EP0PtuE…> Thank you! Have a safe and happy holiday weekend. Olga Watkins

[Highland Park] Infant Seats to Donate
by Corrie Passavant 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

I'm looking to give away/donate a Graco infant car seat w/ base and 2 vibrating infant seats. These items were given to us and are 5 or 6 years old, but only lightly used by one infant. Goodwill doesn't take these kinds of baby things, since they can't insure against recalls, etc., but I'd love to find someone that could use them. Does anyone know of a family in need or an agency or organization that could use these? Thanks! Corrie
