CHOP gifts from Norwood-Fontbonne

Even during the waning days of school at Norwood-Fontbonne Academy, this fourth grade homeroom still found time to think about service to others. The students have been busy collecting children’s books as well as money – a grand sum of $136 – from selling bracelets, spare stationary, and their allowances. These gifts will be sent to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia to bring some joy into the lives of ill children. Pictured (front row, from left) are Lindsay Margiotti of Roxborough, Emma Woolley of Fort Washington, Deja Hemingway of Mt. Airy, Brendan Eck of Flourtown, Marco DeLeo of Lafayette Hill, Michael Schwenger of Plymouth Meeting; (Back row, from left) Savannah Lambert of Mt. Airy, Sarah Hansell of Wyndmoor, Joseph Loonstyn of Lafayette Hill, Taylor Merkle of Ambler, teacher Jessica Hendricks, Eliza Ewing of Chestnut Hill, Dominic DeCinque of Plymouth Meeting, Soleil Smith of Elkins Park, and Luke Forrence of Chestnut Hill.
