RosemontSchool of the Holy Child blossomed with community service activities and an afternoon of festivities during its annual Service Day on Friday, January 29.
The day began with service-related “buddy” projects. Children in 1st and 6th grades, 2nd and 7th grades, and 3rd and 8th grades combined to produce Valentine's Day cards for a U.S. Marine brigade that is stationed in Afghanistan. Fourth and 5th grade students united to craft teddy bears with Handwork Studio of Narberth for Haitian children in the school’s Multi-Purpose Room.
Lower and Middle School children enjoyed an afternoon of games at the annual Service Day Carnival, which is a fundraiser for charities, in the O'Neill Gymnasium and the Multi-Purpose Room. Seventh and 8th grade students operated tables and games for Lower and Middle School children, who raised more than $4,000 for charities during the day.
