Welcome to a new semester! Students have been hard at work getting into new routines and classes.
The department is glad to have Ms. Marcuzzi, Mr. Adomovich, and Mr. Shust again for the semester. We welcome Mr. Greco, Ms.Sokoli, and Mr. Khalil to our team.
As a class, we are conducting prayers together (a different student is responsible for a prayer each day) along with daily intentions. The poster (containing post it notes of each student's Lenten promise) is a daily reminder to keep our commitments to God and to ourselves.
Welcome everyone to a new school year! It is wonderful to hear the halls and classrooms bustling with students again. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce the department for this year. Grade 9 teachers for this year are: Laura Lopez Deanna Di Matteo Stephanie Quaglia Monica Taylor Grade 10 teachers for this year: Elizabeth Peacock Susan Hanna Sue D'Amelio Stephanie Quaglia Grade 11 Cari Meneghini Peter Straub Grade 12 Antonella Cozzolino Giorlando These are some amazing teachers that are bringing a lot of talent to the department. We look forward to a wonderful year!
Last week the students in Ms. Cozzolino Giorlando's grade 11 and 12 classes participated in a meet with a survivor of the Holocaust. After reading the novel "The Weight of Freedom" the students met with the author Nate Leipciger. Through a Q&A the students furthered their understanding of the Shoa. They were very attentive and asked very poignant questions.
