Saint Mary School, Williamstown, was joined by Fox 29’s Bob Kelly for the school’s 12th annual Race for Education on Oct. 15. The school and its teachers and staff appeared on the Philadelphia news channel’s “Kelly’s Classroom” along with cheerleaders from the Philadelphia Eagles. Principal Patricia Mancuso had the added bonus of getting covered in silly string on television by first-graders who had reached their donation milestone. By the end of the campaign, four classes got to silly string their teachers for reaching goal – after having reached 75% participation and raising more than $1,500. Overall, students raised $43,000! The Race for Education helps raise funds for equipment for the science lab, facility upgrades and upkeep, professional development for the its teachers, updated textbooks, classroom furniture, supplemental materials to enhance curriculum, and essential needs to continue to provide a quality education and a healthy and safe environment. The school is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year.
