Area Students Contribute to the Magic of the Holiday Season
WILKES BARRE—The students at Sacred Heart School in Luzerne and Bishop O’Reilly Junior High School teamed up to make this Christmas more magical for some area residents, using Catholic Social Services as a catalyst to reach those in need of holiday help. Students from grades pre-kindergarten through sixth at Sacred Heart sponsored eight children and eight senior citizens. They each purchased a gift to contribute to the package, creating large gift bags spilling over with presents. The seventh and eighth grade classes at Bishop O’Reilly’s Junior High School sponsored four children and four senior citizens. Both Sacred Heart and Bishop O’Reilly require their students to participate in community service activities; therefore the students chose to reach out to the community during the holidays.
