PA ONE Day Reaches Mount Saint Joseph Academy
Last Thursday, “Pennsylvania ONE Day” spread to the community of Mount Saint Joseph Academy. It was not long until over one hundred Mount students swarmed to sign the ONE Declaration, showing their support for their ONE state. White bands and pamphlets were distributed, and as a result there are ONE posters hanging in classrooms and hallways. The Mount girls showed their support by wearing their ONE T-shirts and continue to wear their bands.
ONE volunteers don’t just reach out to college campuses, but also to local high schools, where their response to this cause is both inspiring and remarkable. Every signature we add to the ONE Declaration brings us one step closer to eliminating the poverty that affects so many.

I’m so glad to hear that this organization is spreading to the younger voters of our country. It is such a great comfort to hear that a such a young student is positively impacting this organization. I am flabbergasted at the number of students who have signed this petition. It shows great hope for the ONE Organization since one student could rally all of this support, and it proves the great potential in our future leaders.

I am also thrilled and excited to know that so many young citizens are going beyond the classroom to get involved both in the community as well as their world we live in. The student responsible for bring this prestigious institution is clearly a diamond in a rough and will truly embark on and complete phenomenal things during their lifetime. I am relieved to know that ONE has reached and influenced so many people and that those people are turning the corner and influencing others, something this young student did very well.
