School Events

On Friday May 4th, Mrs. Fernandez , Ms. Palmeri, Ms. Scordato, and students in the 6th,7th and 8th grade English as a Second Language (ESL) classes celebrated the diversity of the different cultures represented by students in their classes. They held an "International Fiesta" in conjunction with celebrating Cinco dé Mayo! Students brought in foods from their cultures to share with the class.

 Students not only learned about the history of this Mexican holiday, but also participated in making crafts such as piñatas and maracás, and cooking fresh tortillás! Olé!!!

 "Singin' in the Rain"
The school musical was a huge success!

"Be a Buddy... NOT a Bully!"
Miss. Garbie, Ms. Guarino, Ms. Tepedino and Mr. Weis worked as a team to help our students become aware of the epidemic of bullying.  Our goal was for the students to learn to be responsible for their actions and give those being bullied a voice to ask for help.  Students performed skits about bullying.  For more information please visit www.uft.org/brave
