Student-musicians Spread Holiday Cheer!
The Port Jefferson School District Board of Education’s December 11
meeting was filled with the sounds of the season as student-musicians
performed several holiday classics before being recognized for their
contributions to the school and community during the holiday season.
Leading up to the winter holidays, students participated in community
events, including the Port Jefferson Village’s annual Dicken’s Festival,
performing at local churches and the public library in addition to
their winter concert at the high school.
Dr. Michael Caravello, Director of Music and Fine Arts, introduced music
teachers Maria Diaz and Edward Pisano and students Katherine Ambrozy,
Grace Crugnale, Cole Fortier, Katherine Kirsch, Mattea Rabeno, Jack
Reilly, Hannah Skula and Peggy Yin, who were each presented with a
certificate of appreciation for their musical efforts.
“One of the core missions of our department is going out in the
community and spreading music and art because that’s what real artists
and musicians do, they give back to their community,” said Dr.
Caravello. “Our students really bring that mission to life.”
