Amanda's Army and St. Thomas of Canterbury School: The Ice Cream is FREE, Finding a CURE is not!

PR Log (Press Release) – Jul 02, 2009 – Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York – Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Amanda’s Army the students of St. Thomas of Canterbury School, at a recent ice cream social, bought Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Sneakers resulting in a donation total of $151.75 to help find a cure.

The first grade class of Mrs. Hornberger was responsible for the launch, organization and highly successful completion of this vital project. With its slogan: “The Ice Cream Is FREE, Finding a CURE is not!” The students contacted Stewarts Shops (Temple Hill Rd Store) for support. Without hesitation our local Stewarts Shop and its corporate office got behind St. Thomas’ first graders, supplying the Make Your Own Sundae Kits to include 6 gallons of ice cream which served all the grades in the K-8 school located in Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY.

The St. Thomas of Canterbury School, a nationally recognized school of excellence, is a Catholic School dedicated to spiritual, academic, and social excellence so that each student may leave empowered to make a difference in the community and the world at large.
