Events & Information
Literacy Day: Our Literacy Day at Woodrow Wilson Middle School on Saturday February 28, 2004 was a huge success! As part of our service learning component, candidates for induction to our chapter gave a few hours of their Saturday morning to participate in this wonderful event. In preparation, the candidates made & decorated posters, donated candy, assembled take-home bags for the students, and prepared engaging lessons & activities utilizing the inspiring works of children's author/illustrator, Patricia Polacco. They were then given the opportunity to team-teach their lessons to over 130 Wilson sixth graders. The day culminated with a raffle, doughnuts & juice, and tons of free books to help extend literacy into the children's homes. It was a wonderful experience for all involved! Many thanks to the principal & staff at Wilson for allowing Holy Family to partner with them in this event. A special thanks is extended to Mr. Michael Wolf, Assistant Principal, for his time, energy & enthusiasm - this success story would not have been possible without him!
Induction Information: Induction is scheduled to take place April 2, 2004 at 7pm at the Woodhaven campus . Attendance is mandatory if you wish to become a member of our chapter. Candidates for induction are reminded that your induction fee is due as soon as possible. Please make checks payable to Holy Family University and deliver to Sr. Marcella Binkowski in Aquinas Hall.
