Scoop Feature: Letters with love was featured in The Scoop, a Newsletter for Catholic High Schools in the Archdiocese of New York. They said "JohnCarlo Mandara '26 initiated a project called Letters of Love, an outreach to senior citizens, veterans and the homebound. He led Albertus Students to create over 200 Valentine's Day cards with a thoughtfully written greeting included in each card. JohnCarlo then delivered and visited with elders residing at Dowling Gardens and Thorpe Village in Sparkill."
