Teen Trip

Thirty FC teens headed over to Clay Cafe in Sewickley on Sunday to make some ceramics! Members painted turtles, mugs, flower vases, heart-shaped bowls and more. Our artists that finished early squeezed in some board games at the end of the trip. Thanks to everyone who came and made it a good time!

Kids Who Care Workshop

Our FC and CDS Kids Who Care participants finished working on some adaptive costumes for members at our upcoming Purim Party! Emi and Meira helped cut out some shapes to help assemble the food truck costume, and Aleena and Peyton helped paint some lily pads for our Frog Prince costume. Our collaboration with CDS was great and we’re so thankful for the projects created by all our middle schoolers! Thanks to 412 Tech for bringing the materials for us to use and helping us create some awesome costumes!
