During Catholic schools week we ask our scholars to write thank you notes to our community. While these notes are being written and mailed, we often wonder does anyone really see these notes or does it really make a difference. The answer to this questions is YES! Our 5th grade class wrote a note of thanks to - Keep Englewood Beautiful commissioners during Catholic schools Week. We received a wonderful reply from the commissioners of the committee. They were very touched by the letters they received and posted Robert Young’s letter on their Facebook page. Thank you Robert for representing St. Louis in such a positive light!
