Holy Family Regional Catholic School in Levittown, Bucks County came up with an innovative way to learn about the saints on Nov. 1, All Saints Day, in a “living saints museum:” Eighth graders researched then portrayed a saint and talked about the saint’s life with the school’s younger students, accompanied by upperclassmen guiding the children through the school’s gymnasium.
