Sure, the baskets that Eat’n Park stores raffle off for the company’s annual Care for Kids campaign raises thousands of dollars—and then there’s the Tips for Tots event, one where servers donate 100 percent of their tips to the cause. That cause—children’s hospitals across the region—caused one local woman working at the Eat’n Park in McMurray to step up her fundraising game. Angela Weaver, of Canonsburg, said she is spearheading efforts at the location to help it land in the top 10 fundraisers in the corporation this year. That’s why she not only is participating in the Tips for Tots event (scheduled at the McMurray location from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. tomorrow—Wednesday), but she will also spend time in jail for it. Yes, Weaver said, the …

On Thursday, students at Bower Hill Elementary took part in their annual holiday sing-a-long. The students sang holiday songs and were treated to a quick visit from Santa before he headed back to the North Pole for final Christmas preparations. Included among the songs was a special rendition of "Silent Night"—the students learned the song in sign language this year from music teachers Bob Tupper and Barb Viola. The sing-a-long ended with a Bower Hill tradition—the “12 Days of Christmas." Students sang while teachers and staff acted out the song. A special guest—lead singer Scott Blasey of The Clarks (and a Bower Hill parent)—took on the starring role of the partridge in a pear tree.
