| SPARTANS ADD CHEER TO OTHERS OVER THE HOLIDAYS Saturday December 15, 2007 Coaches and players from the Boy’s Basketball team arrived at Berclair Elementary School at 9:30 a.m. They unloaded boxes of food donated by Second Presbyterian Church for the families of children who attend Berclair Elementary School, many of whom live at or below the poverty level. The players enjoyed juice and donuts provided by the teachers and administrators of Berclair and then helped distribute the food to the families when they arrived at the school. Tuesday December 18, 2007 The Spartan Boy’s Basketball team and coaches toured St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital which was founded by entertainer Danny Thomas on the premise that “no child should die in the dawn of life”. Since St. Jude was established in 1962, the survival rate for acute lymph plastic leukemia, the most common type of childhood cancer, has increased from 4 percent in 1962 to 94 percent today. St. Jude has treated children from across the United States and from more than 70 countries. While on the tour Coach Patino met a family from Venezuela. All patients are treated at St. Jude without regard to the family’s ability to pay. |
