Students Read Literary Gems at Dickens Festival
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.
