Creativity was the name of the game when third graders in Robin Difeo’s class wrote a play together last week.

The playwriting was part of a program through Arc Stages, in which artists visit schools to facilitate playwriting workshops.

First grade teacher Dorene Tomascovic will be retiring this summer. We caught up with her to find out what advice she has for new teachers, what are her most memorable moments and where she plans to build her “forever home.”

As the Briarcliff high School seniors prepare to graduate in a few weeks, most of them are also doing internships in various places.

Gabi Chioccola and Caroline Barbalato are interning at Todd Elementary School’s physical education department.

It is time to say goodbye to a beloved teacher and coach, Denise Hamlin, who is retiring this summer. We caught up with her to find out what wisdom she has for students and new teachers, as well as her plans for retirement.

Next month, Todd fifth graders will have their moving up ceremony. Prior to the event, on June 12 at 6:30 pm, they will present their Capstone projects to families and guests.

To help them prepare for their presentations, the students had a special visitor: Briarcliff Middle School eighth grader Anushka Rai, who presented her own Capstone project on the topic of allergy awareness.

After some reshuffling and working with a very young team, Briarcliff Varsity Girls Lacrosse Head Coach Dan Perito is finally reaping rewards.

The team’s record thus far this season is 15 to one and he is hopeful about the sectionals.
