Sometimes, you don't know what you're capable of until you try.  That's the powerful lesson our students learned when they took on this incredible self-portrait project.

It's been a busy few weeks at TIGERS!  Two weeks ago, our students recently took a trip to Frick Park to learn about lichens.  Thanks to GASP-PGH and Mr. Wes with Sense of Place Learning for providing such a unique experience!

 Last week, our students were back at it:  Working again with Mr. Wes from Sense of Place Learning, as well Nine Mile Run, we went on a search for macro invertebrates in our favorite park while conducting a water quality analysis.

TIGERS Goes to Camp Kon-O-Kwee (Creek Connections Symposium)

On Friday, April 17th our after school students presented their research projects at Camp Kon-O-Kwee along with dozens of schools from the region.  Students went fishing, learned about the Western PA habitat, and hiked the campgrounds.  We had a great day!

So many activities, so little time...

Hey Everybody, We're Back!  It's been a while since we last posted...Mr. Dean of Pittsburgh Cares stopped by to teach social skills to our students through gaming, while Mr. Wes showed students how to make their own volcanic chemical reactions with Sense of Place Learning.  Finally, our boys had a blast speaking their minds on the record with Mr. Gio from Saturday Light Brigade.

TIGERS Goes to Phipps!

Thanks so much to Dr. Purnell and Wes Speary at Sense of Place Learning for making this trip happen!
