Liberty HS football team members and coaches joined Steelworkers Archives volunteers to help clean up the Steelworkers Memorial at the southern end of the Fahy Bridge on June 12. The players were led by recently appointed head coach Shawn Daignault, who said this kind of community involvement is both a team spirit builder as well as an opportunity to learn service to the community. “The world doesn’t revolve around them and they need to learn about contributing to society through service to others,” said Daignault. In addition to their labor-intensive efforts, the players received a special visit from Curtis ‘Hank’ Barnette, chairman emeritus of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation.
