Catholic Mutual’s 3rd Annual Safety in the Schools Contest recently concluded this week, and two Catholic schools in the diocese were announced as winners.
The grand prize of $10,000 went to St. Jude School in Joliet. Their entry was titled “Say Something,” an anti-bullying themed video written, produced, and acted by their students. Different students spoke of various anti-bullying messages with the stated goal to get those who are bullied to “Say Something.”
St. Isidore School in Bloomingdale submitted a lighthearted video with students of all grade levels singing various general safety messages. At the end, the whole school – including teachers, staff, many parents and parish clergy – concluded the video with their rendition of SAFE St. Isidore. St. Isidore will receive one of three runner-up prizes of $500. This is the second year St. Isidore has won a prize.
