[Highland Park] Free and fun eco-documentary screening (with local filmmaker) on Wednesday, 6pm, at Pittsburgh Green House (308 N. Sheridan)
by Mark Dixon 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Dear Neighbors, I am the producer and co-founder of a film that has been winning awards on the festival circuit for the past year, and I've planned a local screening that you all are welcome to attend. I drive the Ford Escape Hybrid that says "YERT.com" on the sides-- perhaps you've seen it? Read on for more details... There is a free screening of the eco-docu-comedy "YERT - Your Environmental Road Trip" (with hot dogs and popcorn, too!) at the Pittsburgh Green House this coming Wednesday, 8/15. I will be there for discussion (and a bite of popcorn), and would love to see you there. You can watch the trailer at http://yert.com . *The YERT film is fun for the whole family.* Click here<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEk4bG14N2YyV1M1dUwtVG…> to register for the screening. After seeing the YERT film, people often ask, "What can I do now?" And the Pittsburgh Green House is a great place to find some important answers to that vital question. The screening starts at 6pm, but you can swing by for a tour of the house at 5:30pm. Here's a blurb about the Pittsburgh Green House: * * *The Pittsburgh Green House, a project of ACTION-Housing, Inc., is a 110-year-old home that has been renovated as a weatherization training and educational facility where contractors and the general public can learn about residential energy and water savings and making homes healthier. ** http://www.pittsburghgreenhouse.org/* I've been to PGH a few times and it is awesome.

by Carolyn Barber 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Hello Highland Park, My family has just relocated here from, of all places, Highland Park, NJ. You may have received the introductory email from my husband, Andrew Brooks, a few days ago. Eventually we'll all need to check in with a family doctor and get a hair cut. Any recommendations for either would be really helpful. We're really enjoying life in Highland Park. Thanks to everyone for making us feel so welcome. Best, Carolyn Barber -- Help end distracted driving: http://decidetodrive.org/

[Highland Park] Play! Conference for Early Childhood Educators/Providers and Parents
by Provin & Cara Sanford 12 Aug '12

12 Aug '12

*PAEYC and Allegheny County Family Support Conference****Friday, September 21 and Saturday, September 22, 2012* *PLAY! **Transforming Children, Families, Communities and LIVES!* *Friday, September 21 and Saturday, September 22, 2012 *David L. Lawrence Convention Center 8:00am to 5:00pm Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania *PLAY: Transforming Children, Families, Communities and LIVES!* will feature sessions that enhance, advance and support the understanding that play - a natural activity for children - is at the core of developmentally appropriate practice and is the foundation of development and learning. Children at play engage in behavior that is freely chosen, self-motivated, process-oriented and truly enjoyable. Children who play experiment, explore, pretend, discover and MOVE! Through play, children bond with their parents, their caregivers, their teachers and develop the socialization and critical thinking skills needed to be successful in both school and life. Early childhood educators, parents and all adults who have a meaningful role in the lives of children must embrace and nurture the fundamental role of play in learning and development. We must know how to *preserve* play as the norm for young children, and ensure that children (and the adults in their lives) have the opportunity to pretend, experiment, run, jump, build and truly be engaged in the learning that takes place each and every day of their lives. Featuring keynote presentations by: - Darell Hammond, CEO and Founder of KaBOOM! (Friday) with special guest, Braddock Mayor John Fetterman - Dr. Linda Carson, PhD, Co-Creator and Lead Trainer of *I Am Moving, I Am Learning*(Saturday) - Celebration Dinner on Friday evening to recognize Marge Petruska of The Heinz Endowments Workshop Schedule and Description: The full listing of the workshops schedule and their descriptions (30+ page document) can be accessed here.<http://www.paeyc.org/files/pages/attachments/2012%20PLAY%20Workshop%20Descr…> Registration: For more details or to register by paper, see our Conference Registration Brochure<http://www.paeyc.org/files/pages/attachments/PAEYC%20Conference%20Registrat…> .
