Reminder: Tonight on the high school baseball field!

Over the summer, senior Maddie Maust participated in the Summer Readiness Program.
"This program gave me the chance to explore what I might want (or not want) to do as a future career, while also teaching me to embrace change in my life. I got to visit so many places I never even knew were in Johnstown, Ebensburg, Somerset, Windber, and Bedford. Through this experience, I realized I can make new friends from other schools, give back through community service, have fun, and even present in front of a group from Sustainable Pittsburgh!"
