Evergreen Park Patch: What was your most memorable High School moment?
Connor Fitzgerald: My most memorable high school moment is without a doubt being a counselor at the Edmund Rice Camp. I had an amazing time spending my week with the less fortunate grammar school students in the area- they are some of the friendliest and warm-hearted kids I have ever met and it helped me to become a more appreciative person.
