About:
Students and studnet athletes launched their campaign by reading “The Dot” and creating colorful displays of dots that will remind them to make it matter throughout the year. They recalled how their participation in events such as Pennies for Patients, Hoops for Heart, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, Pinwheels for Peace and Share a Smile, among others, have made a difference in their community. As the school year progresses, students will be encouraged to think of ways they can work together to make their mark. They ended their celebration with an inspiring rendition of “The Dot Song.”
Marion Street’s Dot Day campaign was initiated through the collaborative efforts of music teacher Kara Boulay, art teacher Patricia Wierzbicki, and student council advisers Coleen Maher and MaryKate Emmerich.
