Villa Duchesne 8th Grader Attends Clown Academy

Part of a service project for the Order of Sacred Heart.

Villa Duchesne eighth grader Corinne Condie attended Clown Academy this summer in New Jersey. The week-long camp was part of a community service project with more than a dozen Sacred Heart students from around the country participating.

Corinne learned to juggle, globe walk, slapstick, and top a human pyramid, performing for children of all ages.

Corinne says, “Seeing the smiles on the faces of the elders and young ones was something I will remember forever. It is amazing how something as little as juggling a few balls could make them smile and laugh.”
