St. Lawrence School Principal Frank Arvizzigno promised students that they could duct tape him to the wall if they won the Diocesan Fall Reading Challenge. He delivered on his promise Dec. 17 at the Greece school.
Associate Superintendent of Catholic Schools Jona Wright presented the trophy during a school assembly and read to the students before Arvizzigno took his place at the wall. With a variety of duct tape designs, each student took a turn applying a strip to hold Arvizzigno to the wall.
