Three Port Jefferson Middle School students shared a unique spotlight when they read their poetry to hundreds of spectators during the opening ceremony of the annual Dickens Festival in Port Jefferson. Accompanied by teacher Monica Consalvo, seventh grader Isabelle Chen shared her winter-inspired poem during the Friday evening lantern dedication, and seventh graders Marlo Pepe and Sara Freitas helped to bring in holiday cheer at the Saturday opening ceremonies with their winter-themed literary pieces “The Spirit of Christmas” and “Snowflakes,” respectively.
