Bill also encourages children to consider their interconnectedness with the larger natural world. In the wake of the 2011 Japanese tsunami, Bill worked with parents to create a partnership with a school in Sendai, Japan. The Riverside community sent funds to establish scholarships for students left homeless by the disaster, studied the event and exchanged letters, videos and other projects with the partner school. Following Hurricane Sandy, with Bill's blessing, the PTO transformed an election day bake sale into a hurricane relief effort, raising much needed support for our displaced neighbors while giving students a lesson in compassion.
Congratulations Mr. Cirullo, we are very proud of you!
