A Merry Cluny Christmas

Posted

NEWPORT – The spirit of Christmas was present at Cluny School this week when Kindergarten student, Michael Tavares, celebrated his 6th birthday. He enjoyed a fun-filled birthday party but made a special request to his family and friends – instead of giving him presents for his birthday, would they bring a gift that could be donated to Cluny School’s collection for Toys for Tots? More than 20 new toys were collected in response to Michael’s birthday wish.

His teacher, Colleen Sullivan-Roche said, “Michael is a great student. He is always thinking of others. So many children will have a great Christmas because of his incredible act of kindness.” The Cluny community acknowledged Michael’s generosity in a small ceremony in class on Wednesday, December 12.
