Visit of the Magi
The seventh
annual Three Kings celebration took place in the Musikfest Cafe at the
ArtsQuest Center in South Bethlehem Jan. 7. The free, three-hour event includes
live Latin music and food from a Holy Infancy Church concession stand. The
highlight of the program features gift-giving from the three kings in colorful
regal costumes who also visit with the children’s families and encourage
picture-taking. Photo: Sisters Amanda and Angelique Roque wear paper crowns

Humans of Liberty HS
When Liberty HS social studies
teacher Adam Reitz noticed how many different types of students walked
Liberty’s halls, he knew he wanted to find a way to highlight this diversity.
Inspired by the Humans of New York Instagram account that features interviews
collected on the streets of New York, he decided to create his own: Humans of
Liberty High School. “There’s just so many interesting kids at Liberty,” Reitz
said. “You hear about the same kids over and over again, the kids who are involved
in sports, kids who are involved in the arts and things like that, and when you
think about it, there’s a lot of interesting kids sitting in your classroom
that have things going on that you would never even know.”

FHS knocks off BC
Freedom did Freedom last Friday night, and they did it just fine. That
was the plan, going into their home girls’ basketball game against Bethlehem
Catholic, where the Patriots came up with a 66-59 victory over the Hawks. “I’m
a senior, and I know I can speak for all the seniors when I say this was a very
good win, and I’m so happy we got this, and I’m overwhelmed with how great I feel
right now,” said Kyra Jefferson. “Yes, doing Freedom. This is definitely one of
our high points in the season, and I’m excited to see more.”
