Collecting Bears

Eli Petruzzi, a Sixth Level Student at Port Allegany Elementary School, is collecting new stuffed animals (with the tags still attached) to donate to children who are admitted to Cole Memorial Hospital during this winter season.  A collection day was held at his school and also at his church, St. Gabriel's Catholic Church.  He has already collected over 50 bears and other stuffed animals.  The Teddy Bear Collection is Eli's Sixth Level Project.  Anyone wishing to donate to this project can leave the stuffed animals, labeled for Eli Petruzzi's Project or contact his mother, Erica Petruzzi at  814-598-8604.  Pam Fischer Photo
