Our boys have been busy this year serving others, and giving by leading.  The eighth grade has visited Don Guanella to work (and play!) with youths that have some special challenges. The sixth grade made miniature manger scenes after school, along with decorated candy canes and wreaths.  These were given to the residents of Brandywine Hall in West Chester.  All of our homerooms “adopted” a youngster that Santa needed some help with.  We shopped till we dropped to provide bikes, wagons, snow pants, sweaters, video games, or whatever our “adopted” child had requested.  We then wrapped the gifts for Santa and his helpers to deliver to our special friends on Christmas Eve.  Thank you to our generous families, students and teachers for a real team effort!  And finally we closed the year wishing each Sister residing at Camilla Hall a Happy Christmas by sending a personal Christmas card.  Over 200 cards were sent, and many boys have developed a new “pen pal”….perhaps we should say “pen-Sister”!  We look forward to sending Easter greetings at the first sign of spring.
