After a surprise flash mob from the students, Melissa Nunez, COO of CITRS,

provided an update on CITRS’ work over the last year and the exciting new

opportunities for growth and impact in this upcoming year. The guests

congratulated Principal Sister Montague and St. Cyril of Alexandria for their

impressive achievement in being recognized as a State School of Character by Character.org. Doug Karr, President and CEO of Character.org, was presented the Pennsylvania Character Consortium’s Character Achievement Award for his

visionary guidance in realizing Character.org’s mission to provide leadership and
