St. Joseph's Academy officially rang in the school year on a Friday morning in late August.
"Literally," as student council president Marcy Hannick said.
At precisely 8:46 a.m., Aug. 28, as students counted down from 10 seconds, Sister Carol Gerondale, CSJ, did the honors, ringing the chapel bell that hadn't sounded in more than 50 years, since the early 1960s.
