A rosary hangs from a desk in Nancy Bricketto's fifth grade classroom on the last day of school at Queen of Heaven Regional School in Cherry Hill on Friday, June 13, 2008. The school is merging with St. Peter Celestine to form Resurrection School in the fall.

Sue Karra, a teaching assistant at Queen of Heaven Regional School for 17 years, gets a hug from her class on the last day of school in Cherry Hill on Friday, June 13, 2008. Karra was let go from her job as a teaching assistant last year but still came to class every day voluntarily throughout this school year because the children still needed her. The school is merging with St. Peter Celestine to form Resurrection School in the fall; Karra was hired at the new school.
