Rockaway students collect donations for children’s hospital

Members of the student council at Divine Mercy Academy in Rockaway, N.J., recently conducted a “reverse Advent calendar project” with the goal of collecting donations for the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). With the help of the greater Divine Mercy school community, the students assembled 100 bags of goodies which were delivered to CHOP in time for Christmas. The bags were delivered by the Egan family in memory of their baby Joshua George Egan. Pictured are (from left) John Egan, Ben Egan, Gail Egan holding son Daniel, and Hannah and Sam Egan. Ben, Sam and Hannah are Divine Mercy Academy students.
