On Tuesday, author Mrs. Shanna Truffini came to Cucinella to speak with our PreK through Second grade students. She read from her book and taught children how to deal with the “weeds” in the garden. This was an analogy she used to compare stressors in our life to weeds in a garden. She gave them strategies in how to deal with stress and how to keep their “gardens” weed free! Thank you to our PTO for sponsoring this great presentation.
