Bishop Kearney Goes Gold BROOKLYN EDUCATION BY JULIETTE PICCINI TUGANDER The student council at Bishop Kearney High School recently held a “Go for the Gold” event to raise awareness of childhood cancer. There was a delicious bake sale, and students donated $2 each to wear a gold or yellow shirt. The school fence was decorated with gold ribbons and balloons. Bishop Kearney will donate all funds raised to the American Childhood Cancer Organization in memory of Kaitlyn Bernhardt ’20, daughter of Jennifer Fallon Bernhardt ’88, and Sally “Sweet Sally Sunshine” Kabel, daughter of Nicole Kabel ’96. *** Brian Gomez, vice president and district manager of Investors Bank, and Anthony Gieri, branch manager, recently presented Bishop Kearney with the second installment of a three-year grant from the Investors Foundation for the school’s STEAM Wing. The school has used the donation to refurbish its Think Tank.
