Our Lady of Victory Student Decorates for a Cause

Bella Arnone, an eighth grade student at Our Lady of Victory School in Mount Vernon, was selected to participate in Ridge Hill Shopping Center’s Branches of Joy tree decorating contest benefitting Feeding Westchester. Arnone, who has attended Our Lady of Victory since Kindergarten, has long had a passion for both art and community service and is excited to share her talents for a great cause.

Arnone started a hair bow business in 2019 – Ciao Bella Bows – in an effort to raise funds for local animal shelters and animals in need. Her work has been featured at the Blue Door Art Center in Yonkers.

Arnone’s tree, which reflects her talent for making bows as well as her patriotic spirit, can be viewed at the Ridge Hill Shopping Center in Yonkers in the windows of 157 Market across from Town Square. Each vote for Arnone’s tree will be converted into a $1 donation to Feeding Westchester.

Arnone and her mother, Mezaun, who teaches Art, Music and STEM at Our Lady of Victory, are also collecting non-perishable food items in support of Feeding Westchester.
