Catholic School Kids Deliver Treats To Cops
By Wyatt Earp | November 27, 2008
Students gather at the 35th District mural.
Just when you think everyone hates you, some local high school students make you feel pretty good about your career choice.
Police at stations across Philadelphia, where five recently slain officers worked, saw surprise visits from Catholic high school students who were bearing gifts on Thanksgiving eve.
From Hunting Park, to Oak Lane, to West Philadelphia, students brought trays of pastries to the colleagues of Timothy Simpson, Patrick McDonald, Isabel Nazario, Stephen Liczbinski and Chuck Cassidy.
Two of those officers killed in the last 13 months went to high school in the Archdiocese — McDonald to Archbishop Ryan and Cassidy to Cardinal Dougherty.
Diana Linn, a senior at Dougherty, joined in the delivery to the 35th district:
“It’s important that we show support, to let them know that we appreciate what they do as their job on the street.” (H/T – KYW1060)
Thank you, folks. It was a very nice gesture, and we appreciate it.

Admiral – Nah, just the occasional, “Thanks!” is good enough for me.
Rick – Yeah, it brightened everyone’s day.
