LA ROCHE WOMEN’S
SOCCER TRAVELS TO
ITALY AND SPAIN
What’s the connection between
the La Roche women’s soccer team’s
unforgettable trip to Italy and Spain and
summer soccer camps? An important
one, as it turns out. The team needed to
raise 100 percent of the trip’s cost, and
their work at the camps provided most of
that money. Head Coach Miguel Lozano
oversees the camps, and his players earn
money by assisting the licensed coaches.
Lozano’s childhood in Spain shapes
the camp philosophy. “We played soccer
in the street. We got better because
we weren’t afraid to make mistakes.
We learned the rules because we used
them during the games. The game is the
best teacher.”

TOY DRIVE BENEFITS
CHILDREN’S HOME
OF PITTSBURGH &
LEMIEUX FAMILY
CENTER
In December, North Catholic High
School Robotics’ Team 5740—the
Trojanators—gifted adapted toys to the
Pediatric Specialty Hospital at Children’s
Home of Pittsburgh & Lemieux Family
Center. Team members adapted toys with
special buttons, lights, and vibrations as
their Holiday Toy Project. These toys
provide opportunities for medically
fragile children to play. To fund the
project, the Trojanators held an all-school
fundraiser.
“North Catholic Robotics has been
incredibly generous in donating adapted
toys to our patients and families...we truly
icmags.com
appreciate their hard work,” said Pam
Keen, CEO of The Children’s Home &
Lemieux Family Center.
The mission of the NCHS robotics
program is building students of creativity,
leadership and professionalism by
investing students in FIRST Robotics.
