Building Housing for the Teachers – Brick by Brick!

Bishop Ward High School “Class of ’64”
A fun event we attended during the summer has resulted in a whole new group supporting John Paul School. In August the “Class of 64” from Bishop Ward High School in Kansas City, Kansas (Nancy’s Alma Mater) held their 45th class reunion.

Nancy’s classmates, led by Vicki Wewers, Rich Sambol, Bob Wewers and Cathy Stone decided they wanted to do something special to help and…
