On June 5th Juniors and Seniors began to trickle into the school “dressed to the nines”. What a great evening was had by all. Freshmen and Sophmores, dressed in black and white, were hosts and hostesses. Students ate an incredible Italian meal and then the fun began. Teachers gave each Senior a special gift and each Senior left something special for next year’s senior class. At 10:00pm students changed into their “play clothes” and “had a blast” playing in the gym and throwing water balloons outside. There was also a great time of sharing and remeniscing. What an awesome evening we had spending time with the seniors before they graduated. The evening ended at midnight with pizza and soda. We can’t wait until next year’s banquet. A special thank you to 11th graders, Sarah Singh and Daniel Herrera who organized and planned the evening. We’re going to miss you seniors. Please come back and visit us.
One of the best parts of May was Dinosaur week. Special events included a dinosaur egg hunt. Each egg had a small dinosaur inside. We painting giant dinosaurs with teammates. We made dinosaur hats by putting colorful dinosaurs on a visor, and made a book with different dinosaurs in it. We enjoyed two dinosaur treats: dinosaur chicken nuggets and fruit snacks.
During our trip to Flushing Meadow Park Queens Zoo, we were blessed with a sunny day. We fed the goats and sheep and let them lick pellets off our hands. We saw lots of animals at the big zoo, and learned that reindeer are really big! We sat on the grass and enjoyed a picnic lunch, and ended the day with a merry-go-round ride and ice cream.
We took a trip to Chuck E. Cheese and played games using tokens. We won tickets when we played the games and got prizes using the tickets. We climbed and ran around. We had a yummy pizza lunch and drink. Chuck E. Cheese himself dropped by to say hi. He high-fived everyone!
