Julie & Alexis (our membership and fundraising chairs) helped deliver developmentally appropriate books (collected by the Office of Child Development) about dealing with fear / grief and embracing diversity to some of the early childhood centers and preschools throughout Pittsburgh yesterday. The School of Education and entire Pitt community continue to come together in the months after the Tree of Life shooting to love our neighbors and show that hate has no place in our city!!
