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.

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.

Although they are only five or six years old, kindergartners at Todd will end their first year of school equipped with many tools to help them control their emotions and develop coping strategies.

Students in Leslie Newman’s class recently had a mindfulness class with Counselor Gillian O’Connell and played Coping Skills Bingo.

Social-Emotional Learning happens every day at Todd Elementary School. Sometimes it even happens when you least notice it.  

Recently, Todd fourth grader, Colin Rynne, wrote a play in class which ended up being performed through Arc Stages’ Visions and Voices Playwriting Program.
