Students of St. Christopher School in Somerton honored police and firefighters from the community, including those whose children attend the school, during Catholic Schools Week commemorations on Feb. 2.
The school presented certificates of recognition to Fire Lt. Tony Lieggi of Engine 58 and Capt. Mike Gormley of the 7th Police District for their brave service. St. Christopher parents who serve in the police and fire departments paraded through the school hallways as children cheered and waved American flags. A breakfast followed the parade and featured presentations by each school grade and performances by a bagpiper. ••
