COCI Hosts Bowling Night
The Committee on Community and Inclusion hosted a
“Buddies and Bowling” evening at Bowlmor Lanes in Times
Square in the fall. New boys in Grades One through Seven
were joined by their buddies for an evening of family fun.
COCI sponsors several events throughout the year to build
community among parents, boys, and faculty.
Support for Puerto Rico
and Mexico
Saint David’s eighth graders led the school in fundraisers,
including a wristband sale and basketball shoot-out, to
support Puerto Rico and Mexico in the wake of the natural
disasters that struck in the fall. The wristband sale resulted
in $2,000 raised to help Puerto Rico after the devastation
of Hurricane Maria. The boys also raised $1,000 for the
Mexican earthquake initiative, through a pay-to-play
basketball shoot-out spearheaded by a parent. The charity
Fundacion Kaluz added $2 for each $1 raised by our boys,
resulting in a $3,000 donation.
