St. Margaret School Graduates Celebrate

Festivities included the long bell, a Yankees game and a family Mass for the graduating eighth graders at Pearl River's St. Margaret School.

Pearl River's St. Margaret School celebrated the graduation of its eighth graders last week.

They took a trip into New York City for a Yankees game and attended a family Mass, which included a slide show and a luncheon.

Eighth graders are honored with the "long bell." As they left the building for the final time as students there, the rest of St. Margaret's students line the street and the school extended the bell.
