UPDATE, 5/17/24: Thanks to everyone who showed up on Wednesday for this event. Special thanks goes to our friends from the STEM Coding Lab, TEN (The Efficiency Network) and Communicycle, and Highmark Wholecare. They, along with partners like Lifewise Academy and our administrative, teaching, and food service teams truly helped get this event rolling. We would also like to thank Marie Pagnotta, MPH, CPSTI, the Community Programs Educator for Injury Prevention at Safe Kids Allegheny County for UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh for helping to coordinate bike helmets - from an anonymous donor - for the children receiving bikes!

Highmark Farmers Market
Highmark Wholecare will host a free farmers market event at the Upper Elementary from 5 - 7 p.m. Thousands of pounds of fruits and vegetables will be available, and the food is first-come, first-serve. Highmark is working with the district and Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank to secure and distribute the food, and we thank them for their efforts! A second free farmers market will take place on Tuesday, May 21 from 12:30 - 3 p.m. at the Jr./Sr. High School. All members of the community are welcome at both events.

We can’t wait to see you on May 15, whether you’re looking for a robotics lesson, some fresh food, or a bike!
