We love celebrating the amazing young people in our community! 💙 Kiwanis Club of Westfort Board Member, Lee-Ann, recently presented St. Pius X Catholic School with a Random Act of Kiwanis. R.A.K. is a way for Kiwanis to spread kindness and support to more organizations throughout our community. Over the past three years, St. Pius X has had many students involved in the BGC Builders Club, showing leadership, kindness, and a strong commitment to helping others. Pictured are Principal Mr. Joseph along with students Kailee, Preslie, and Evan, and Lee-Ann from the Kiwanis Club of Westfort. We hope this Random Act of Kiwanis helps St. Pius X continue to make a difference in the lives of children and youth! 🌟 #KidsNeedKiwanis#kiwanisinternational... See MoreSee Less
