Villa Duchesne Oak Hill Remembers Lil Musial; Benefacts Cardinals Care

School community combines field day with donation to Cardinals Care.

Villa Duchesne Oak Hill students held their annual field day Friday throughout their campus. It was certainly a light day of fun and frivolity. But as the news spread of the death of 91-year-old Lilian Musial, the mood turned a little somber. Last year, students honored the Musials for their long-time commitment to the school.

This year's field day was dedicated to honoring the Cardinals 11th World Series championship earned last fall.

In the works was collecting money for the the team's pet project Cardinals Care. Head of School Sr. Lucie Nordmann and Athletic Director Dory Smith presented St. Louis Cardinals General Manager John Mozeliak with a check for Cardinals Care, the team's non-profit foundation. The students of Villa Duchesne and Oak Hill School collected $530 for the cause.
