Students at Star of the Sea Elementary celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Winter Olympics by raising money for the charity Right to Play.

Star of the Sea Elementary students donned their Olympic gear Wednesday to mark one year since the Winter Games took the country by storm.

The school payed tribute to the anniversary by encouraging students to wear Olympic apparel and bring a $2 donation for Right to Play, which uses sport to improve the lives of children in impoverished areas of the world.

The money will be presented to two Liberian coaches who are to visit the 15024 24 Ave. school March 1 on behalf of Right to Play, and share with children and staff the triumphs and challenges they face in their war-torn African nation.
