Dean Ginsberg met with School Principal Cecilia O'Toole-Frederick who spoke about the recent school progress at Don Bosco.  Also attending were Nancy Norris Bauer, Director, WPU PDS Schools, WPU PIR Robin O'Brien and WPU STEAM Art PIR Triada Samaras. She also visited several classrooms where she spoke to teachers and students of Don Bosco.

Dean Ginsberg viewed the recent student installation of the "Kindness Rocks" Project, a STEAM Art project started last year as part of the STEAM Art program inspired by the idea of Principal Cecilia O'Toole-Frederick (below images) and implemented with the art expertise of Art Teacher Ms. Kaminski and her students.
