Celebrating unity and diversity through music and dance, these 11th Annual Concert Celebrations of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday will include many familiar faces. Our music minister Kris Rust is co-founder of the event along with Rev. Dr. Herbert V.R.P. Jones, artistic director of the Heritage Gospel Chorale of Pittsburgh. Several area choirs participate, and there will be singers from many local UU congregations. The glorious voice of Rev. Deryck Tines will also be there.
Saturday January 13 at Ebeneezer Baptist Church in the Hill District and Monday January 15 at the Byham Theater downtown. Both at 7pm.
There is no charge for admission to either concert. Tickets are required for Monday’s show at the Byham Theater. Donations will be accepted at the door and will benefit the Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank.
We are a welcoming, urban congregation that puts Unitarian Universalism into action by celebrating life, nourishing the spirit, and inspiring a commitment to justice.
Founded in 1906 in Allegheny City, now Pittsburgh's North Side. A member congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association.

DIY Guide grants ensure adoption of ADE-created classroom projects and practices across a diverse range of schools – engaging student of all backgrounds.
Laura Kristek, a special education teacher in Chicago, modified a high school level poetry and engineering project developed by Allen Distinguished Educator, Scott Swaaley, to engage her K-2 students who are on the autism spectrum. Her students have varying degrees of strengths with communication, social interactions, and behavioral control, and they are very enthusiastic and diligent participants in class. “They are a joy to teach,” Kristek explains. She is one of 28 teachers to receive a DIY Guide grant from the ADE program in the spring of 2016.
By Liz Meredith, Technology Integration Coach, Friend of the Allen Distinguished Educators program and Advocate for Educator Collaborations
As a Technology Integration Coach for a small district in southeastern Ohio, I see the importance of collaboration every day. Through technology, I create opportunities for students and teachers to connect with others. I was recently invited to present at the Rural Education National Forum (NREF) on this topic that I care so much about. Being asked to present at the forum was both an honor, and another opportunity for me to help others.
More than 500 attendees from 39 states attended NREF this year. With an overarching theme of collaboration, many sessions throughout the conference highlighted best practices and successful programs. At the conference I presented two sessions as well as the closing keynote, which featured a Roadmap from the Allen Distinguished Educators (ADE) award program.
New this month: Help your students master 21st century skills with practical advice from Allen Distinguished Educators, and learn how a 4th grade teacher in Chicago adapted the 53 Miles per Burrito project with a DIY Guide grant.
