And one of the easiest ways to do that is to increase the number of steps we take each day."Step Out St. Clair" officially starts on Saturday, June 5 and continues until Saturday, August 7 (although we hope you’ll make this a life-long habit!). The event starts with Walker Awareness Day on June 5, where we remind drivers that Upper St. Clair has a lot of people enjoying the great outdoors, so stay off the cell phone, stay focused on your surroundings, and watch for pedestrians as you travel through the township this summer!To be part of "Step Out St. Clair", visit the Community Foundation website at cfusc.org.

Pennsylvania's Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
CHIP is short for the Children's Health Insurance Program - Pennsylvania's program to provide health insurance to uninsured children and teens who are not eligible for or enrolled in Medical Assistance. Nine out of 10 CHIP parents report satisfaction with their child’s health plan, and 96% received an appointment for check-ups and vaccinations as soon as they wanted.
There are a lot of reasons kids might not have health insurance - maybe their parents lost a job, don't have health insurance at work or maybe it just costs too much. Whatever the reason, CHIP may be able to help. All families need to do is apply today.
