Garden Theater Block signs second restaurant By Kelsey Shea

Brashear’s home and factory nominated to historic register By Kelsey Shea The life work of John Brashear is admired worldwide, and that work began here in Perry Hilltop. Both a scientist and a philanthropist, John Brashear dedicated his time in Perry Hilltop building scientific and astronomical instruments. He also fundraised for and help to build Allegheny Observatory located on Riverview Avenue, once considered one of the greatest astronomical research centers in the world. His factory and home where he spent his time working still stand on Perrysville Avenue and are now up

for national historic recognition. The Brashear house at 1954 Perrysville Ave. is owned by Michael Goldstein of Slam Properties LLC and Goldstein Photography. Goldstein bought the house last year, and has since remodeled it into a transitional living home, where people coming out of rehab live with month-by-month leases. He said when he bought the house from a bank, it was filled with drug paraphernalia, and most of the original fixtures were gone. Goldstein isn’t sure how he feels

Another Garden Theater Block tenant was named this month as construction continued in the future business district. It was announced that Lawrenceville’s Tuscan-style Italian restaurant Piccolo Forno will open a second location in the historic theater block along W. North Avenue. “We’re hugely excited to have Piccolo Forno onboard for the project,” said developer Wayne Zukin. “Between Nakama and Piccolo Forno, I think we’ve got the best restaurants in the city.” Piccolo Forno will join Nakama Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar as the second restaurant to sign a Garden Theater Block lease. Piccolo Forno opened its first location on Butler Street in 2005 and serves reasonably priced homemade pasta, wood-fired pizza, paninis and specialty items in an upscale environment. Domenic Branduzzi, the owner of Piccolo Forno, said he saw the same potential in the Northside that he did when he opened his first restaurant in the then up-andcoming Lawrenceville seven years ago. “I love the feel of the neighborhood. It’s great to be smack in the middle of it,” he said. “I had been casually looking around for a second location, and I saw this area as having a lot of potential to grow.” Piccolo Forno’s second location will be in the theater building at 10 W. North Ave. and will feature a rear patio for outdoor dining, a

bar and a wood-fired oven. The Garden Theater Block location will be nearly twice as large as the Lawrenceville restaurant. Branduzzi is considering calling the new restaurant Il Giardino, Italian for the garden, to reflect the history of the block, the cuisine he serves and the fresh ingredients used. He plans to serve the same traditional Italian fare at the Garden Theater Block location, but he said he may introduce some more modern dishes as well. “It’s kind of a neat layout,” said Branduzzi, who plans to use the unusual layout of the building, which has two smaller rooms near the entrance that are separate from the larger dining room. He’s decided to use the layout to his advantage rather than alter it. In one of the rooms, he is planning to place a full bar and a pizza bar in the other where customers can sit for more casual dining and watch employees make the wood-fired pizza. Branduzzi said that developers are planning to break ground and start construction in the latter half of this fall, and that he can hopefully be in the building by late summer and open by next fall. The abandoned Garden Theater Block was purchased by the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh several years ago and is currently being renovated by developer Zukin Realty into restaurants, office spaces, apartments and stores. The block was brought into

BRiX owners replace pizza with burgers in AW Much-anticipated Western Avenue restaurant to reopen as Benjamins Burgers.

Photo by Kelsey Shea

Benjamins will be in the Kinder Building on Western Avenue.

By Kelsey Shea Northsiders who were looking forward to the opening of BRiX Wine Bar last September shouldn’t be too disappointed by the recently

announced change of plans for the Allegheny West location. BRiX owner Paul Tebbets reassures residents that Benjamins, the restaurant that will go into the historic Kinder building at 900 Western Ave. instead, will be more

or less the same as BRiX. The main difference will be that burgers will be the star items on the menu, rather than wood-fired pizza. “It’s going to be a really simple, straight-forward neighborhood bar,” said Tebbets. Tebbets and Chet Garland, the owners behind Toast! in Shadyside, opened BRiX last year on Western Avenue. They planned to offer affordable wine and wood-fired pizza, but zoning problems held up the project for over a year. After briefly opening, BRiX closed its doors and Allegheny West neighbors wondered what had happened to the much-anticipated new restaurant. Rather than jump through hoops to install a wood-fired grill without the exhaust hood that city code requires, Tebbets and Garland decided burgers were a simpler option. As far as the interior, Tebbets

said they’re just planning to swap some of the tables for lounge chairs and couches, change some of the art and incorporate several big screen TVs. Benjaminswill seat roughly 30 people and have a back patio for seasonal outdoor dining and pool tables. Tebbets said that someone on Twitter noted that with both the East End’s BRGR and the Waterworks Burgatory opening new locations throughout the city, there wasn’t a need for any new specialty burger restaurants in Pittsburgh. However, he noted that neither of those burger joints were coming to the Northside neighborhoods. The Strip District’s Weiss Provisions Company will deliver a custom grind of chuck beef to Benjamin’s for the burgers daily. Tebbets hopes that Benjamins will open within the next two weeks.

News Briefs Children’s Museum celebrates the art of Making at fair With child inventors, robotic animals, the loudest moving instrument, local artists and crafters, this year’s Pittsburgh Mini Maker Faire at the Children’s Museum was a unique experience for visitors of all ages. The Pittsburgh Mini Maker Faire brought makers in science, art, music, engineering and craft together to encourage creativity on September 22. The event was organized by the staff of MAKE magazine and co-presented by the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh and HackPittsburgh. “Pittsburgh Mini Maker Faire is one of the destination events that draw people from all over the region to our neighborhood,” says Angela Seals, the program manager at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh and the lead coordinator of the Pittsburgh Mini Maker Faire. Visitors from all over Allegheny County came to the Northside for the fair to watch and work with regional and local inventors, engineers, artists, crafters and musicians. “It pulls them beyond the overpasses from the North Shore into the community to see the gorgeous new Buhl Community Park, the architecture and cultural assets nearby, the quality restaurants and all the great things here that Northsiders know so well,” said Seals. “Inviting families to visit the Northside to explore ‘making’ brings people here that might not otherwise make that trip and sends them back to their community with a positive, refreshed perspective on the entire Northside,” says Sue Kerr, founder of the Pittsburgh Tote Bag Project, an organization that participated in this year’s fair. Located in the Northside, the Pittsburgh Tote Bag Project collects new and gently used tote bags and distributes them to the region’s food pantries.

In this year’s Mini Maker Faire, Pittsburgh Tote Bag Project gave tote bags to visitors and donating new tote bags to their project. They will also be handing out information on how to “reuse” gently worn tote bags. Kerr thinks the Maker Faire is a great way to “showcase the wonderful merger of reuse and revitalization of [the Northside’s] neighborhoods.”

CLP hosts two Northside fundraisers in Sept. Across the Northside, neighbors raised glasses and funds for the Carnegie libraries in the Northside with a wine tasting at CLP- Allegheny and a beer tasting at CLP-Woodsrun. On September 28 at the Allegheny CLP branch on Federal Street, attendees of the second annual Friends of the CLP- Allegheny Wine Tasting experienced their library in a different way with wine and appetizers rather than quiet reading. The tickets were $55, and all net proceeds stay right in the Allegheny branch to fund programs, to purchase extra materials and snacks for the kids, to replace heavily used items so everyone can keep enjoying them and other things that aren’t in the budget from the Carnegie. The five wines that attendees tasted were chosen by Barsotti Wines, and the food was provided by LadyFingers Catering. The event’s first year, they raised $3,000, and organizers anticipated repeating that success. In Brightwood, Friends of Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh hosted second annual Taste of Brighton on Sept. 16 at Young Brothers Bar on Woods Run Avenue. The $20 ticket included tasting with Penn Brewery and food, and the Steelers game was broadcast on a large TV. All proceeds Brightwood’s Woods Run Library and its programs.

Central Northsiders approve branding effort

The proposed Allegheny City Central logo includes the neighborhood’s new slogan -- “All together different.” (Courtesy CNNC)

By Kelsey Shea

Monday night, Central Northside residents voted to approve a new initiative that will change the name and they hope the reputation of their neighborhood. Of the 129 residents present at Allegheny Traditional Academy for

the meeting, 99 voted to pass the new branding effort that will remarket the Central Northside as Allegheny City Central. “I think I can safely speak for the branding committee and the CNNC leadership when I say that the lopsided vote in favor was both gratifying and uplifting,” Greg

Spicer, one of the Central Northside Neighborhood Council members leading the branding initiative. “It is a great vote of confidence in our organization and in our community.” The branding plan, developed in collaboration with North Star, a firm that specializes in community brands and the marketing firm Karen Bryant and Associates, includes a new logo, slogan, website and neighborhood name that could be promoted using billboards, bumper stickers, advertisements and street pole signs. The committee decided on the name Allegheny City Central to unify the micro neighborhoods within the Central Northside and rebuff the imposition of the North Shore name on prime real estate in the Central Northside. The CNNC hopes that remarketing the neighborhood as Allegheny City Central will dispel negative connotations of the name Central Northside and highlight the neighborhood’s positive aspects – location and historical relevance. Spicer said he was particularly

pleased about the number of new, young faces at the meeting who had recently joined CNNC. The branding initiative was researched for several years before it was finalized, and Spicer said that same meticulous process will persist through the next stages of the project. “Over the past several years, those of us active in the CNNC have been most proud of the deliberative, open and data-driven processes that we’ve put into place,” he said. “We’ve passed an important milestone in a process that began three years ago but we have much work to do to tell the world about what a great community we have and what great opportunities there are here for individuals, businesses and families of all kinds.” In developing a plan to launch the new brand, Spicer said the CNNC will be consulting local business, experts in marketing and community development, cultural institutions, developers and members of the Central Northside Community.

Thirty Rivers Casino employees spent Saturday, Aug. 29, in Manchester, putting in volunteer hours at the North Shore Community Alliance, as part of Rivers’ service outreach program. “What better way to support the people and needs of our immediate community than helping out the NCA that’s right around the block,” said Craig Clark, general manager of Rivers Casino. “Our team members enjoy making a difference for others and really get into the philanthropic spirit.” As part of the yearlong community service program, Casino employees painted resident rooms as well as the front and back porches at the North Shore Community Alliance’s emergency shelter. The North Shore Community Alliance provides emergency services and shelter facilities for more than 300 individuals and families every year. Providing the community with crisis in-home services, workforce development, parenting and youth programs, housing (emergency and transitional), food and clothing banks and senior programs, the NCA strives to develop permanent solutions to the “temporary” family crises that trouble members of the community. “Thanks to the support of Rivers Casino and other corporate contributors, we’re able to meet the changing needs of our community,” said Carol Washington, executive director of the NCA.

Brashear structures may be historic From Brashear, page 1 about the nomination, and said he needs to do more research. The factory, located at 2016 Perrysville Ave., is owned by the city, is not currently vacant and not undergoing any renovations. Lisa Miles, the author of ‘Resurrecting Allegheny City: The Land, Structures and People of Pittsburgh’s North Side” is one of the main forces driving for national historic recognition for the two buildings and the person who nominated the Brashear house and factory. “This is the hilltop where the original Observatory sat next to the factory and house. It should be acclaimed and have markers, attention, care [and] preservation,” Miles adds. She would like to see the factory used to the highest standards as a museum to feature old instruments and other devices that would have been used by Brashear with the help of NASA scientists, Smithsonian professors and astronomers from across the United States. “Some think anything that happens is good,” Janet Gunter, secretary of the Perry Hilltop Citizen’s Council said about the future use of the Brashear home, “while others say it should only be used in a reasonable way.” Gunter specifies that while the Perry Hilltop Citizen’s Council supports renovation that would bring good use to the Brashear buildings, especially the vacant factory. Gunter and the Perry Hilltop

Citizen’s Council held a meeting on Monday Sept. 24 with Goldstein and several other local landlords to discuss an increase in noise disturbances, litter and unsupervised children in the area. The community voiced its concern over Goldstein’s decision to turn the Brashear building into a what they believed was a halfway house that they believed would go against zoning ordinance. “Neighbors in the immediate area are sick of being assaulted, having noise and garbage already… only to add this to Perry Hilltop’s one major historical component,” said Miles. At the meeting, Goldstein explained that the eight residents who live in the house are not violent or sexual offenders, can be evicted at any time by the in-house manager, must work and are held to strict schedules. He also pointed out that they do service projects in the community and are drug-tested at random. “It was a misunderstanding,” said Goldstein. “Most of the problems were from a rental unit next door and some nearby Section 8 housing. By the end of the meeting, they all shook my hand and wished me good luck.” The two buildings will be given or denied their historic status in the National Register of Historic Places in October by the state Historical and Museum Commission. “Mr. Goldstein seemed happy to hear homeowners concerns and was willing to address them and take these concerns into consideration,” said Gunter. “Conversation is better than silence.”

NS resident offers free children’s theater classes Brighton Heights resident expands her performing arts school into the Northside.

Photo by Kelsey Shea The theater classes will be held in the cozy upper room of the Java N’ Creme House on California Avenue.

By Cara Nesi As the owner of a performing arts gallery and a resident of Brighton Heights, Jessica Palitti saw a lack of arts activities for kids

in her neighborhood and had both the means and the motive to help fill that void. Palitti, the owner of the JP Gallery for Performing Arts in

Emsworth, will host a free, five-week children’s theater course at Java N’ Creme House on California Avenue for children in grades 1-6 beginning Sept. 29. The theater program will last five weeks through October from 9:15 to 10:15 a.m. on Saturdays and aims to “build stage presence and confidence in front of large crowds.” Java N’ Creme owners Bob and Yolanda Rhoden are hosting the program to provide the kids in the area with educational activities. They have programs like this often as a way to help the Brighton Heights community. “Our goal is to get families in the door and allow them to get to know us, seeing that we are experienced, trustworthy professionals in the arts and in education that only have their children’s best interest at heart,” said Palitti. In addition to providing a free activity for Northside kids and bringing people to the California

Avenue business district, the classes will also serve as a preview for a larger project that Palitti is undertaking in Brighton Heights. On Oct. 3, Palitti plans to open a Brighton Heights location of the JP Gallery for Performing Arts in Oliver Hall, located below the All Saints Episcopal Church on McClure Avenue, that will offer regular dance, music and theater classes. Its goal is to prepare productions for the upcoming fall festivals and holiday celebrations. After experiencing the success of four seasons of the JP Gallery for Performing Arts, which opened in 2009, Palitti began planning an expansion of the program. “Right away, the ‘light bulb’ turned on,” she said, “and we suddenly thought that it absolutely had to be on the Northside.”

I have the wonderful opportunity of taking a child development class this semester. Now, as I have worked with children off and on over the years, I have taken this class before. Yet it is always so interesting that depending on where we are in life, the same information can seem so different. For instance, I have always been a big-picture person, but in this particular season of my journey, I am being forced to focus on and pay attention to the details. Therefore, as I am being refreshed on our development process from conception to birth, learning this information through a detailed mindset is absolutely mindblowing. From the intricacies of fertilization to the formulation of brain cells, each step and stage of development is necessary to ensure

Life is a process

the proper completion of the life process. All of these wonders and miracles have made me really look at and realize just how amazing yet complex life is. Life is a verb, not a noun. It is a process. A process is defined as a systematic series of actions directed to some end. What is your desired end at this particular point of your life? Is it to have more happy days than sad ones? Is it to have more peace than drama? Is it to become healthier? Whatever it may be, there must be a series of actions completed to reach your desired end. A systematic series of actions means that there must be a consistency, a routine, a

way of life that leads to the life you want. In order to reach a goal or a desired outcome in our lives we must look at how our current circumstances and environments may be negatively or positively impacting what it is that we are trying to do. If we desire a life of happiness, we should not surround ourselves with people that continuously bring us news, information and opportunities that drain us of any little piece of joy we may have. If we want no or less drama in our lives, we must remove ourselves from situations and conversations that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t promote peace in and around us.

If we long to be spiritually, mentally and physically healthier, we must begin and maintain a regimen in our lives that will lead us to a life of healthiness. What series of actions do you plan to jump start in your life? We must realize that a life of happiness, peace, abundance and health takes much effort, discipline and commitment. To desire and want these things is natural; as natural as all of the axons, neurons, cells and organs working together to bring us and to sustain our physical lives. Therefore, this season, attach yourself to people, places, and things that will all work together to help you bring forth the life you want. Begin the process of developing the life you want.

From the office of State Rep. Adam Ravenstahl

Do you have ID needed to vote? The future of Pennsylvania’s voter ID law, which I opposed, is uncertain as a battle over it continues in the courts. However, I’m encouraging everyone to make sure they have an ID that meets the requirements of the law, so they will be able to cast a ballot on Nov. 6.

Acceptable forms of ID include:

• A current Pennsylvania driver’s license or one that expired after November 2011; • A current PennDOT-issued nondriver photo ID or one that expired after November 2011; • A current U.S. passport; • A current Pennsylvania college identification card; • A current ID issued by the U.S., Pennsylvania or Pennsylvania local government; • A U.S. military or Pennsylvania National Guard ID; • A current photo ID card issued by a Pennsylvania care facility, including long-term care facilities, assisted living residences or personal care homes. The photo ID must “substantially conform” to your name as it appears on the voter rolls, must list an expiration date, and cannot be expired, with limited

exceptions. You should check now if you have an ID but are unsure if your name matches what is on the voter rolls. To check how your name appears on voter rolls, visit the Pennsylvania Department of State website at www. votespa.com and click on “Register to Vote,” or call the Allegheny County Elections Division at 412-350-4500. There’s some good news for those who do not have an acceptable ID and are unable to produce birth certificates or other documents for a nondriver ID issued by PennDOT. The Pennsylvania Department of State recently started offering a special voting ID card. To get this card, you will need to visit a PennDOT exam center and provide your Social Security number, birth date and two proofs of residence, such as a utility bill. PennDOT says it will validate your voter registration status and verify your birth information and then issue a voter ID card before you leave the facility. The voter ID card is good for 10 years and can be used only for purpose of voting. Adam Ravenstahl represents the 20th Legislative District. His office is at 3689 California Ave., Pittsburgh, and can be reached at 412-321-5523. His staff is ready to help those who need an ID to vote.

October 2012

From the office of State Sen. Wayne Fontana

Voter ID law in Pennsylvania Act 18, which was signed into law by Gov. Corbett in March, requires all Pennsylvania voters to show an acceptable photo ID at the polls prior to casting a vote. Since its passage, a public debate has raged on whether or not this law is constitutional and whether it is disenfranchising voters. We have even heard comments from State House Majority Leader Mike Turzai that suggest this new law will help Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney carry the state of Pennsylvania in November. While the focus has remained on the ongoing court case and politics surrounding the new law, there has not been enough focus on the administration’s implementation of the new law and what the process is for voters in need of a photo ID. Voters lacking an acceptable photo ID are required to visit a PennDOT Driver’s License Center, complete the necessary forms as spelled out in the law and bring a copy of their birth certificate, Social Security card and two proofs of residency before being issued a photo ID. The Department of State has adjusted these requirements over the last several months and can now verify birth records online, eliminating the need to provide a birth certificate. However, one challenge for voters that the administration refuses to alter is the requirement that those in need of a photo ID visit a driver’s license center. What is most lacking from the implementation of this law is convenience. Reports suggest as

many as 98,000 voters in Allegheny County might lack a valid photo ID needed to vote. There are only four driver’s license centers in the county that produce photo ID’s. Even after compiling the needed documentation, anyone not possessing a driver’s license faces the challenge of getting to one of these four locations to obtain a photo ID. These voters are not “lazy” as Rep. Darryl Metcalfe, R-Butler, has said. These individuals include the elderly, the mentally and physically disabled and anyone without the means to drive to one of these locations. These individuals are Democrats, Republicans and Independents. In an effort to bring this service to more voters and make the process of obtaining a photo ID more convenient, I asked the governor and the secretary of state to authorize neighborhood centers. These centers, which would include 253 state elected officials’ offices around the state, would be authorized to produce a photo ID for anyone needing one. Our offices have computers, notaries, copy and fax machines, printers and cameras everything that is needed to fulfill the request

for a photo ID. The administration denied my request. Subsequently, I requested that our offices should at the very least have the ability to serve as intermediaries. This would allow voters the opportunity to visit any elected official’s district office where our staffs would assist them by providing the necessary forms, copying their proofs of residency, taking their photo and sending all the information to PennDOT. PennDOT would then have the ability to verify these documents and once verified, make the ID card and mail it directly to the voter. This too was denied by the administration. Since the voter ID bill was signed into law in March, I have spent countless hours trying to educate my constituents, regardless of political party, on the new requirements and have been trying to work with the administration on ways to make the law’s implementation more convenient. No matter their political affiliation, all citizens have the right to vote. With only four driver’s license centers in Allegheny County that produce photo IDs and an estimated 98,000 voters that might be in need of photo ID, there is a genuine need to expand these services. While I applaud County

Executive Rich Fitzgerald’s action to allow CCAC and the Kane Regional Centers to issue photo IDs, it would not be necessary if the Corbett administration would expand voter ID services into neighborhoods. Representatives and senators from Allegheny County alone have 42 offices throughout the county that could service those individuals in need of photo ID. Providing voters with the means to have their paperwork processed in their own neighborhood would greatly reduce the burden that many will have in getting to one of only four PennDOT locations. If the governor were truly interested in “protecting the integrity of our elections” as he has said previously, he would do everything in his power to ensure all citizens have access to receive the required photo ID. As we all wait for the court’s ruling on whether or not the voter ID law will stand, please do not wait to obtain the required photo ID needed to vote. My offices stand ready, willing and able to assist you with this process. If you’re not sure if you have an acceptable form of photo ID, need assistance with filling out the necessary paperwork to get a photo ID or have any questions on any aspect of the new law, please contact one of my district offices and we will happily assist you.

From the office of State Rep. Jake Wheatley

Wheatley to serve as co-chairman of Hunger Caucus State Rep. Jake Wheatley, D-Allegheny, today began serving as the new co-chairman of the Pennsylvania Legislative Hunger Caucus with state Sen. Mike Brubaker, R-Lancaster/Chester. “I’ll never step away from a challenge, and fighting hunger is a challenge,” Wheatley said. “I’ve seen firsthand how this issue affects the residents I represent, so I’m honored to partner with so many committed individuals who are working on solutions.” At a Sept. 24 news conference, Wheatley spoke of his own childhood experience. “I had two working parents, but I remember many nights when they watched their children eat, and then they ate what was left. I didn’t know it was called food insecurity. I thought it was normal.” The news conference was

held to recognize Hunger Action Month and to promote today’s second food drive at the Capitol. The bipartisan caucus is again holding the drive in partnership with Hunger-Free Pennsylvania, a network of 21 food banks, food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, charities and other hunger relief organizations serving all of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties. “By many measurements, agriculture is Pennsylvania’s number-one industry. I believe we have the capacity to end hunger,”

Wheatley said. “I look forward to working with Senator Brubaker and other legislators from both parties, as well as the many hunger relief organizations that do such important work throughout Pennsylvania. “I have already been working with Representative Dwight Evans and others to make sure that everyone in Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania has access not just to food, but to nutritious food. Another priority is the Statewide Food Purchase Program, which helps food banks buy and distribute millions of pounds of food to those in need, and was cut by about half a

million dollars last year, or nearly 3 percent. I would like to see that funding restored, and if possible, increased.” The Hunger Caucus’ efforts also include maintaining a 1,000-square-foot “Hunger Garden” at the Capitol. The garden helps raise awareness of hunger issues while supplying local food banks and soup kitchens with fresh produce. Since its creation in 2010, the Capitol Hunger Garden has been staffed by volunteers and supported entirely by donations from businesses, organizations and individuals. More information about the Hunger Caucus is available at http://senatorbrubaker.com/ hungercaucus.htm.

Education on The Northside Football season begins on the NS

Pittsburgh Schiller to receive school supplies

By Cara Nesi

On Sept. 14, parents and community members joined Pittsburgh Public school board, Mark Brentley Sr. at Pittsburgh Perry High School for the school’s annual first night-game dinner. Mr. Brentley and his wife Sharon Brentley have made feeding dinner to the students on the football, dance and drill teams a tradition at Pittsburgh Perry. The tradition has lasted for almost 10 years now and they plan to keep it going. In recent years a second dinner was added for the school’s homecoming game. Wellfed and ready to go, the Perry Commodores defeated the Allderdice Dragons 12-0 that night.

Events “Beyond the Bricks” screening at Perry

The Education Partnership, a Pennsylvanian nonprofit is donating thousands of dollars of school supplies to Pittsburgh Schiller in East Deutschtown. A magnet middle school in Northside, Schiller will receive critically needed school and class room supplies at no cost to them, up to three times a year from The Education Partnership. Supplies will include binders, rulers, pencils, gently used library or text books, calendars, office supplies and much more. To be eligible to receive supplies from The Education Partnership requires that at least 70 percent of the school’s student body qualifies for the National School

Lunch Program, which provides free or low-cost lunch to students who need it. In addition to the school supplies, each student at Schiller will receive a Christmas present from the Education Partnership this year during the holidays. The Education Partnership collects donations from customers at Giant Eagle and from their corporate partners, Giant Eagle Inc., American Eagle Outfitters, Home Depot, Pittsburgh Pirates and many others to purchase the supplies needed. The Education Partnership works to “address educational inequities by providing and enabling access to the tools and resources necessary to support teachers and enhance a student’s ability to learn and succeed.” To learn more information about the organization, visit their website at www.theeducationpartnership.org.
