A Saint Joseph School first grade student, Avery Rusin, donated the profits from her Saint Joseph School PTO holiday bazaar craft table to the Saint Joseph School PTO in order for them to purchase and install a water fountain and water bottle filling station.
Avery and her Grandmother, Melissa Batchilder, make fragrant hand scrubs, and are quite successful. Her grandfather Rob Gray is spearheading the campaign to provide better water for all the students of Saint Joseph’s.
Both grandparents set a wonderful example of volunteerism as they are extremely active in the school. Rob volunteers daily as a lunch monitor and Melissa is the coordinator of communication for the Saint Joseph School PTO.
