Giving Back to Pittsburgh’s Elementary Schools

Posted by Kayla on Friday, April 3, 2009

Last week, Councilman Bill Peduto spent time in two of the elementary schools in Pittsburgh, the Linden Elementary School and the Imagine Environmental Charter School at Frick Park.

dsc02217At the Liden School, Councilman Peduto read three books to a classroom of elementary children.

dsc02224At the Imagine Environmental Charter School, Councilman Peduto was a guest speaker at  an assembly.  During his presentation he explained the international movement Earth Hour, which occurred last Saturday night.  He also discussed the image of Pittsburgh as the “smokey city,” and his goal of changing this image.

dsc02239He addressed a very captive audience, which had many questions for him after his presentation.  032709111134For more pictures of both events, check out Councilman Peduto’s Flickr page!

  • What's wrong with you? Send the tax bills out at the current milege amd worry abiut refunds later? Do you know a hardship this will cause for a lot of people. Get the assessments right first and then worry about the tax bills. My assessment tripled with my land assessment raised 1000%. That's right 1000%. One of my neighbor's assessment quadrupled. You come and look at my property and tell me why it's worth so much. Plus, I have to carry mine subsidance insurance because I'm sitting on a coal seam that could colapse at any time. I live across the street from a rental priperty that's a slum and another house has bars on tje windows because they were robbed. My assessment has so many incirrect things on it. Who did these anyway? Some guy sitting in an office somewhere who arbitrarily decided what is and is not. This says my house was remodeled in 1991. Everything in the house is the same as when it was vuilt except for normal updates luke water heater, furnace, etc unless you consider wimdows remodeling. They aren't even worth it becausei can feel the cold air coming in. I hope you get voted out of office. You certainly are NOT for the people.

  • Very inovative, and to comment by Eric S., this is bringing attention to your area from all around the country. It shares all that Pittsburgh has to offer and I am certain people who do not win will consider Pittsburgh favorably. I have considered Pittsburgh as a viable option, with the additional information I am learning it continues to rais on my list of where to move to.

  • Should we really be bribing people to move to Pittsburgh? How about spending $100,000 to develop an advertising campaign for the region instead and attract more than one new person?

  • I am soooo glad someone has paid attention to those of us between 45 and death! We still have so much to offer the world and a true desire to do so. We are still dreaming and planning and doing and living. Thank you for recognizing a valuable asset to community planning---the older, experienced person. I am so sick of hearing you're 'overqualified' and expected to be put out to pasture (or as a babysitter). I'm only 53 and I have a lot of dreams l have left to seek. I definitely will be applying!
