HOW ARE YOU BUILDING BETHLEHEM ?
|
Kudos to all our budding artists! We want to let all of you know that Mayor Chuck Chiarello of Buena Vista Township sent a letter of thanks to all our students for all the beautiful decorations we made them for their Tree Lighting Ceremony.
Mrs. Mari DiOrio witnessed Evan Bertonazzi "Building Bethlehem" at Santa's Workshop. Evan gave his Kindergarten buddy money out of his own pocket to help him finish off his Christmas shopping.
Mrs. Callahan noted how nice it is to see Saki Mertis helping David Ricci by carrying his books from class to class.
Mrs. Kirchman observed also observed Saki Mertis help a St. Margaret School basketball student who had fallen during a recent basketball game and after the game all the St. Margaret boys help us set up for the PTA Social without even being asked.
How are you building Bethlehem? Together we can spread our message to the community through our actions and deeds and soon everyone will want to do a good turn for their neighbor.
