The new and improved Quaker Valley Middle School has reopen for classes to students in grades 6 through 8 after undergoing a $26.5 million renovation.
For the most part, Monday was business as usual for Quaker Valley Middle School students and staff--except that this wasn't your typical first day back to class. The new and improved Quaker Valley Middle School reopened for classes Monday to students in grades 6 through 8 after undergoing a $26.5 million renovation. Middle school principal Sean Aiken said the school day, including arrival and dismissal, went “very well” with the new walkway and new traffic patterns on Harbaugh Street. He estimated about 98 percent of parents followed the correct driving patterns. “We really increased our walking and car riding population over here in Sewickley. We see a lot of kids walking and getting dropped off. It went smoothly,” he said. Sewickley …

Summer classes will take place beginning June 28 in the newly-renovated center.
While school may be out for summer, a local children’s center and a popular music program are teaming up to support young learners. For the first time, Laughlin Children’s Center will host a summer semester of Music Together classes offer by Lisa Rae Music Studios, according to Lisa Rae Vaughan, music director.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission will hold additional hunter-trapper education courses this fall to ensure all would-be hunters have the opportunity to complete the mandatory course in time for upcoming hunting seasons.

Sewickley students taking part in the Lisa Rae Music Studios' latest class will “travel” to countries with cultural roots in Western Pennsylvania.
Learning music is just like learning a language, according to Lauren Garcia-Slawianowski, a Hopewell Township resident and early-childhood music instructor. “I think we are born wanting to sing and dance,” said Slawianowski, who teaches music to children as young as 6 weeks old. “It’s kind of like when we raise a child in a bilingual family — children are able to speak two languages just because they’re exposed to it. Their brains are like sponges at this age.” Starting in February, she will teach “Travels in Song: Explore the Many Cultures of Western Pennsylvania,” a course for children ages 3 to 5 at the Sweetwater Center for the Arts. The course was developed by Lisa Rae Music Studios, the company that also brought the popular “Music …
