May 21st The Fox Chapel Area School District Celebrated World Day for Cultural Diversity and Dialogue. Middle School students at DMS led the fundraiser and sold hundreds of t-shirts.

A mother's love
is the best kind
unwavering
commited
sacrifical in the
most pure way
and the acts

which we take
for granted

may be grey

and I think this is why I find myself so captured by the need to write
about who I am and what is important and where I'm going
in the hopes that when I look back on my life and take time to read all I have written
I smile knowing I tried my hardest to live a life with honest and faithful intentions
my favorite thing to...
