    Literacy Pittsburgh once again attended Carlynton School District's Back to School Celebration! We had the opportunity to share out information regarding the English class offered at Carnegie Elementary School. This is the fourth year Carlynton School District has partnered with Literacy Pittsburgh to provide free adult English classes to the parents/guardians of immigrant and refugee children of the District. Thank you for having us!

    Thank you to The Jessie Games for inviting our Family Literacy students at Literacy Pittsburgh to enjoy an afternoon of fun games, prizes and food, as well as backpacks and school supplies for each school aged child in attendance. Our families had a great time getting together at the 11th Annual Jessie Games for a care-free day of fun.

    Joe and Anne recently did a digital literacy class with educators at La Escuelita Arcoiris (The Rainbow School), a nature-based Spanish immersion preschool in Squirrel Hill. When this pic was taken, they were working on exploring iCloud Photos and Google apps to use in their classrooms. We are thrilled to help enrich the classroom experience for their students.
