Jehoshabeath Eli: We Love Our North Side Schools
In order to raise awareness of and help bring unity to North Side public schools, a walk was hosted by newly formed education-advocate organization Jehoshabeath Eli on Saturday August 24th 2013. Parents, residents, school administrators, students and press came together to walk from Buhl Community Park at Allegheny Square to the Fred Rogers statue across from Heinz Field and back. The walk was organized both as a thank you for all of the hard work the schools and teachers have put forth for North Side students as well as to bring together people from all neighborhoods who have concerns for public schools.

Where we are and where we are going…
In July 2013, twenty-eight recent high-school graduates created these radio features while serving as Summer Interns at The Heinz Endowments. The resulting features cover a range of community issues. While SLB provided training and coaching, the features presented here were conceived and created entirely by the students in a single week.
Radio Camp 2013 – Day 27 – The Omega (Man) Day
It’s hard to believe, but we’ve reached the end of Summer Dreamers 2013. It’s been a good ride–we’ve learned new things, made new friends, played new games, and lost a ton of Four Square. Today, two of our campers presented Radio Camp and our accomplishments to the rest of Summer Dreamers during the All Camp Meeting. We then setup an open house for all visiting parents, with a display table featuring each student’s final writing project. Afterwards, we headed outside to play our final round of Four Square.
Radio Camp 2013 – Day 26 – KICKBALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
On our second to last day of camp, we played a little Teachers vs Students kickball! Both classes put up an admirable fight, but, in the end, Mr. Andy’s colossal right foot and Mr. Ben’s panther-like agility proved too much for the Radio Campers.
