About this event

• Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

Join us for an exciting evening of creativity, community, and climate action at the Eco-Student Stewardship Club’s Sustainable Fashion Show!
Led by 6th and 7th grade students from Clairton Middle School, this inspiring project celebrates upcycled fashion, thrifting, and sustainability through a full-scale fashion show—planned entirely by the students themselves!

Why It Matters:
This event is the culmination of a 10-week project where students have taken the lead on every step—from clothing collection and outfit curation to event promotion, ticketing, and set design. Their goal? To raise awareness about fast fashion, textile waste, and the power of creative reuse.
By attending, you’re not just seeing a fashion show—you’re witnessing the next generation of environmental stewards in action.

🌱 Let’s celebrate youth leadership, sustainable style, and community action—one outfit at a time.

The Clairton Police Department will again be participating in the Drug Enforcement Agency’s “National Take-Back Initiative” on Saturday, April 29, 2017 between the hours of 10:00 am and 2:00 pm at the Rite Aid Pharmacy at 623 St. Clair Ave.  We will only be at one location this time.  You can bring all your unwanted, unused, or surrender prescription medications to law enforcement for destruction.  This program has been extremely successful in the past because of the high amount of participation from the city.  We again look forward to seeing you again.

Every year the Conservancy with the help of volunteers plant a flower garden at the intersection of 837 and Maple Avenue in Clairton.  This year the planting day will be Saturday, June 3rd.  Please put this on your calendar!!
We need all the help we can get to keep this going!!!   More details to follow closer to the date.
Thank you Charlie Spence for helping coordinate this every year!

Photos submitted by Jeannie Smith.  Her Great-Granfather was Fred Young, the first Police Chief.  Her Grandfather was an amateur photographer and took many photos in and around the town.

These were taken in 1922 by my grandfather, George Mack. I still have the original Kodak camera that took these photos!

The photos are of a baseball field and bleachers that was located near the sewage plant (to its left)  and across from the U.S. Steel Coke Works office building. You can see many of the smokestacks in the background. I remember too, as a young child, going to a circus or carnival on these same grounds. That would have been back in the 1950’s.

My grandfather was 22 years old when he took these photos and he was employed in the Benzol plant where his step-father, Mr. Elliot was the superintendant at the time. My grandparents, newly-weds George and Mabel, lived in Wilson then (having moved from Sharon, PA) and latter moved to VanKirk street where they lived in several different homes until they finally settling at 907. My grandfather eventually became the Clairton Works paymaster where he worked until he passed away in 1961. Both of my parents Catherine Mack and Joseph Patrick were born and raised in Clairton and moved to Jefferson borough after marriage, where they lived until their deaths.

Though I never lived in Clairton, I certainly have roots there and know the town and its history well. I currently live in Jefferson Hills and am a live-long resident now in my 60’s.

I hope others enjoy the photos and another link to Clairton’s past.

Best regards,
Joe Patrick
