RAM READERS ONCE AGAIN HELP THE PETERS SCHOOL CELEBRATE READING WEEK
For the 11th consecutive year, La Salle Academy Senior Captains helped the George J. Peters Memorial School in Cranston celebrate Reading Week. This year, we had three siblings of previous readers go to the elementary school to read to the students. Mackenzie Duffy followed in the footsteps of her brother Tyler '10, Dimitri Ashby did the same for his brother Peter '10, and Kendall McCartney reprised the role of her sister Falynn '12.

Duffy was a captain on this year's Field Hockey team, Ashby was a captain of the Football team, and McCartney was captain of both the Girls Basketball and Girls Lacrosse teams.
The other Senior Captains who went to read were Scott Deffley (Boys Basketball), Doug Harrison (Boys Basketball), Chad Sawyer (Boys Volleyball), Greg Forgue (Boys Soccer), Mallory Johnson (Field Hockey), Caroline Falvey (Girls Cross Country), and Carmen Russo (Girls Basketball).
This tradition has become an important part of the Peters School celebration of Reading Week, and it has also become an enjoyable event for our seniors. Mrs. Marcia Quigley, wife of La Salle Athletic Administrator Ted Quigley '73, is the Reading Consultant for the Peters School, and she schedules different readers for every day of the week.
