Adopt a Sister a Great Success!

By Melanie McBride

Gertrude Kistler Memorial Library wishes to thank everyone who came out in support of the Adopt a Sister Holiday event last week. Students, faculty, and staff visited the Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus at New Sharon to bring holiday cheer. We sang carols, had sweet treats, and passed out gifts from Santa. The Sisters of New Sharon were thrilled with their presents. They sent a lovely reply wishing all of us at Rosemont a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.

A special thank you to all those who signed Christmas cards for the Sisters. Your help was appreciated.
