Fontbonne students greet school year with sunrise ceremony
The cliché about teenagers is that they like to sleep late. But try telling that to seniors at Fontbonne Hall Academy!
They started off their school year literally at the crack of dawn.
More than 100 students from the Catholic high school for girls in Bay Ridge took part in a school tradition known as “senior sunrise,” in which seniors gather on Shore Road on the first day of classes to watch the sun rise. Fontbonne Hall Academy is located on Shore Road and 99th Street. Shore Road, which sits on the southwest Brooklyn waterfront, offers a spectacular view of New York Harbor.
