New York OSIA Makes History! A coalition formed to investigate ways to fund the Italian language program in our schools … made up of the New York Grand Lodge Foundation, Inc., the New York OSIA CSJ (Commission for Social Justice) and the Garibaldi Meucci Museum … is proud to announce that on Tuesday, December 18, 2007 a grant check was presented to St. Finbar Elementary School in Brooklyn. This money will cover the complete cost of textbooks/workbooks for 152 students who receive Italian language study during the regular school curriculum. The students range from ages Pre-K to 8th grade. This is the first time that the students at St. Finbar’s have enough workbooks so that each child can have their own Italian study book.
