Eid Al-Fitr
KHS:
On March 18, Mr. Cacciottolo, with the help of Mrs. Solis, took 19 of his Italian 3 students to Manhattan for an elegant night out. We first went to an Italian restaurant on the Upper East Side for a delicious dinner of pasta and pizza. Then we went to the Metropolitan Opera for a performance of Madama Butterfly, by the Italian composer Giacomo Puccini. All students loved the quality of the food (and the joyful atmosphere at the restaurant), and the beauty of the opera. Twenty-five years ago, I started adding the study of Italian Opera to the curriculum of the Italian 3 classes with the intention of then bringing those students to see a live performance of one of the operas we studied. It has been a successful yearly part of my 27-year tenure at Kearny High School. This was the last time I went to see an opera with my students because I will be retiring at the end of June.

Our Independent Living students had a blast making pancakes with Ms. Aziz and Mrs. DeLima, Director of Special Services. The curriculum focused on following multi-step directions, ingredient preparation, and oven safety. The class was full of focus as students watched for bubbles to appear—the secret sign that it’s time to flip! The best part? The toppings and hot chocolate, of course!
