Students Show their Generosity

Aquinas High School student members of Future Business Leaders of America, along with their advisor Mrs. Geiger, visited St. Barnabas Nursing Home on December 17, 2008.  They shared refreshments, sang along with residents and joined in the fun of the St. Barnabas Christmas party. 

The students also raised funds and gave two DVD players to the residents.  They provided DVDs of classic movies and television programs, such as The Golden Girls, The Cosby Show, Sister Act with Whoopi Goldberg and the Pursuit of Happyness, the recent movie starring Will Smith.   

St. Barnabas is a long-term care facility situated on the campus of the St. Barnabas Hospital complex at 182nd Street and Third Avenue in the Bronx.  Future Business Leaders of America is an educational association for students, including high school students, who are preparing for careers in business and business-related fields.  The organization seeks, among other goals, to strengthen the confidence of students in themselves and their work, and to encourage members in the development of individual projects that contribute to the improvement of home, business and community.
