Thank You/Fun Recap: Fifth Grade Dance Event
The Fifth Grade Committee (Wanna Li, Nubia Gomez, Erin Misurelli and Lia Timpanaro) held an exciting dance event for the Fifth Grade Class, on May 17, 2024. Our Fifth Graders dressed up and danced to E Entertainment (Eli Kababa), had photos taken in an incredible photo booth, provided by DYNAMIC BASS MOBILE, had Mr. Sam's Ice Cream Truck make an appearance for a fun treat. It was an amazing night where our students were able to make many fun and enjoyable memories with one another.
A special thank you to all those who volunteered to assist us with the event: David Timpanaro, Alison Megaro, Stephanie DeVoe, TJ Hudak, Jennifer Jimenez, Daniela Comprelli, Jamie Mulvihill, Erin Moranski, Soniya Patel, Kelly Senn, Jeannette Aiello, Nina Lifshey, Brittany Bassett, Carrie Weiner and Josh Weiner.
A BIG Thank you to Dr. Bernal, Ms. Thorn, Mrs. Branch, Ms. Moran, Mr. Patel, Mrs. Cutri, Mr. Alex and Mr. Marcello for all of the assistance in getting this event up and running for us.
Additionally, we want to extend a very special thank you to the Fifth Grade Committee- this event would not have been possible without your planning and coordinating such a fun event for our students.
Thank You: Ice Cream Social
On Thursday, May 23, we held our Annual Ice Cream Social event at Fernbrook School on the blacktop. The event was incredibly successful with over 225+ students who came and enjoyed eating ice cream from Dairy Queen and played with their friends on the blacktop/playground areas. It was so nice to see so many smiling faces. We wanted to thank Jeanne Glodek for all of her assistance with coordinating this event. We would also like to thank Mansi Patel, Zamira Sanchez, Evy Salvo and all of our amazing volunteers for taking the time to assist with the event. Additionally, a special shout out to Melissa Zimmerman and Teri Fitzpatrick for hosting a Spiritwear table at the event!
