STEM Coach Dave Jones is facilitating an exciting new initiative at Cucinella called Mathmates, pairing older student mentors with younger student mentees. The pairs meet up once a week to play math games and work together as teams. Great collaboration and student leadership!
Mrs. Bartnicki led fifth graders in creating wonderful 3-D designs in art class. The students took obvious pride in their work and were delighted to share their creativity.
Cucinella Families,
Reflecting on the tragic loss our school experienced on Friday, we have decided to postpone our usual PTO General Membership Meeting, however still host a gathering tomorrow at 7pm in the BAC Library to offer parents support.
We know working through an experience like this one can be challenging and no doubt Monday will be difficult returning to school. Please consider joining your PTO tomorrow for an evening of reflection and friendship. All are welcome.
As a reminder, please use Mr. Perruso’s email with linked informational guides as a resource to speaking with your child about these sorts of situations and how you can support them. If you have any questions about tomorrow’s Reflection Session please message us directly.
Sincerely,
The Cucinella PTO
