5th Grade Ambassadors do so many wonderful things to support the Cucinella community! From holding doors at morning arrival to leading whole school meetings, they exemplify Cucinella's core values of respect, optimism, curiosity, and kindness. They are leaders that the younger students look up to. The ambassadors featured here record weekly morning announcements shown to the whole school on Fridays. Keep up your great work, ambassadors!
Cucinella students enjoyed The Illusion Maker assembly on Wednesday! The students watched and tried their best to figure things out in this magical environmental quiz show.
