Tomorrow is the last day to visit Santa’s Secret Shop! The PTSA did a wonderful job decorating and setting up this fun annual event, where students and staff can browse and purchase gifts ranging from $1 to $5! They even have volunteers helping to wrap and label the gifts for the kids! It’s an easy, stress-free way to help your kids get their holiday shopping done- just send in cash and a list of who they are shopping for and any likes/interests! The volunteers will assist with browsing and picking out items in their price range!
Over the past two weeks, Mrs. Pagano, Miss Miller, and Mrs. Schuster’s classes, had the pleasure of having Dr. Ralston come teach a lesson as well as be this week’s Mystery Monday Guest Reader. Dr. Ralston led a writing lesson on creating a Question Flood. Students were shown a picture from a selected book and asked to think about what they observed, then create sentence statements based on the photo. We then selected an example sentence and worked together to come up with questions related to the sentence, answering those questions to create a written paragraph.
Dr. Ralston also selected two books to read aloud to students as this Monday’s Mystery Reader. She read the book Snowmen at Christmas, which was the book she had used to display the picture for her lesson. She then treated students to a second read, one that is near and dear to her, Katie the Candy Cane Fairy. Students are currently learning about Figurative Language vs literal language used by authors to enhance the storyline in ELA, so we were able to write about and compare selected Figurative Language samples from these two books. She culminated her read-aloud with a special candy cane treat that was enjoyed and appreciated by all. Her time in the classroom has been very exciting for our students and for the teachers. We are very thankful for her engagement and passion for teaching and leading. Thank you, Dr. Ralston, for making 3rd grade so memorable for our students!

Rose Ann Falcone, owner of Thru the Grapevine Travel, brought real-world experience to Mrs. Castiglia’s BUS 1700 Tourism & Hospitality class recently. With more than 20 years in the travel industry, Falcone offered students an inside look at what it takes to run a successful travel agency.
She shared her journey into the business, highlighting both the rewards and the challenges of being a travel agent. Students were also introduced to her new website, created by her grandson Nathan Cross, demonstrating how modern technology is shaping the way travel services are offered.
“It’s about more than booking trips,” Falcone told the class. “It’s about creating experiences and solving problems for your clients.” Her visit provided students with practical advice and inspiration for those considering a career in tourism and hospitality. #BKP #SCCARES #everyday
