In a friendly competition, St. B’s eighth grade boys were challenged to see who could produce the most effective commercial for some of the charities that St. Bernard’s supports. Peter J., John R., and Will M. stole the show with their commercial advertising Project Cicero, an annual non-profit book drive designed to supplement libraries in under-resourced New York City public schools. The commercial tells a story through the eyes of an underprivileged boy who doesn’t have the means to purchase books and experience the joy of reading. The boy’s life is forever changed when his peers decide to organize a book drive for Project Cicero.
Please remember to drop off your gently-used books in the lobby tomorrow and Wednesday to show your support for Project Cicero.
