Xaverian students tie giant gold ribbon around school for cancer awareness
Not a stunt, but a message of hope, educators say
There’s plenty of gold in Bay Ridge!
Students at Xaverian proudly displayed gold ribbons inside and outside the school building at 7100 Shore Road in Bay Ridge on Sept. 16 to announce their participation in “Go Gold Bay Ridge,” in support of children with cancer. Students from Genesis, Xaverian’s middle school program, also took part in the “Go Gold” campaign.
In fact, it was members of the middle school’s Student Leadership Council who led the effort, cutting 400 yards of gold ribbon and working with high school students to hang the ribbon around the exterior of the school.
