Benedict A. Cucinella School

Cucinella students participated in many fantastic Thanksgiving activities and celebrations this week! Happy Thanksgiving to all!

First grade students enjoyed a visit from the Long Valley First Aid Squad! The kids asked great questions and learned a lot about these terrific community helpers. BAC thanks these first responders for coming and for their commitment to the health and safety of our town!

REMINDER: District Schools will dismiss early Wednesday, November 22 and Schools will be CLOSED Thursday/Friday, November 23 - 24 for Thanksgiving.

The students in Ms. Paolella and Ms. Driscoll's 5th grade social studies class put their learning about the United States Constitution to the test in a fun-filled "Escape Room" activity. Each group worked diligently to try to crack the secret code and be the first to open the mystery box with the grand prize!
