Backpack Pack-Out for Horizons at Saint David ’ s
In early June , the PA Community Service Committee helped sponsor and fill 135 backpacks with much-needed school supplies for Horizons at Saint David ’ s students and Dr . O ’ Halloran personally signed books that were put into each backpack by our boys . Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our community , the committee exceeded its financial goal and was able to provide supplemental mathematical software in addition to backpacks . Horizons ’ Backpack Co-Chairs Angela Burgess , Erin Riley , Ruth Rosania , Kimberly Seward Golden , and 100 plus volunteers pitched in to make the event a tremendous success .
Support for Ukrainian Refugees
In June , the school received letters of appreciation from Ukrainian students at the Benjamin Franklin School in Warsaw , with the following cover note : “ Dear Saint David ’ s School , Thank you for all the love and support you have sent our way this year . Your generosity means the world to us . Our Ukrainian students wanted to share their gratitude — we hope you enjoy our letters of appreciation . Thank you for modeling caring for all !” In addition to supporting Ukrainian refugees , the Community Service Committee sponsored winter / spring drives for Ronald McDonald House , Operation Gratitude , Project Cicero , and Horizons at Saint David ’ s .
