It is a tradition at St. Joseph School that during Catholic Schools Week, students, staff, and families participate in a community service project. This year, the unanimous choice was to honor local heroes at Harrington Healthcare in Webster for their selfless dedication to the community, especially during the pandemic. Organized by First Grade instructor Kayla Maynard and Third Grade instructor Donna Recko, students in grades Pre-K through Grade 8 created original “Thank you“ cards and purchased over $400 in Dunkin Donuts gift cards for the healthcare workers. The donation of the gift cards was made possible through the generosity of students, faculty, and staff who collected donations during Catholic Schools Week. The school recently presented the hand-made greeting cards and Dunkin Donuts gift cards to a representative of Harrington Healthcare and hopes that staff members have a chance to enjoy a coffee and snack “on them.” Healthcare workers certainly deserve it!
