We had a delicious all staff/faculty breakfast hosted by the Administrative Staff led by our dear Principal Grassa. There were different kinds of fruits, donuts, muffins, bagels, hot cocoa, coffee, juice and more. It was also the birthday of our dear Ms. Danielle West, 8th grade math and ESL teacher. A big THANK YOU to: Katie Grassa, Adrien Jackson, Meaghan Ohrenberger, Tracey Phillips-Williams and David Diaz for hosting this holiday inspired breakfast.The Curley K-8 School Administrative Team: (from left to right) Adrian Ward-Jackson, Tracey Phillips-Williams, Katherine Grassa, David Diaz, and Meaghan Ohrenberger.Our own Kelly Pry, music teacher who came out this morning with the trumpet and delighted the crowd of kids, staff, faculty and parents while they were entering the building. She played a variety of holiday and Christmas songs. Thank you, Ms. Pry, for taking your time and entertaining us!Counselor Cristina Silva was ready to play her music, but when she heard Ms. Pry play the trumpet, she immediately turned her phone off! She was ready to greet our little and big ones with that big and kind smile of hers! Today was our last show of the Showcase with our middle schoolers performing. This is Mr. Camaratta’s band that played one number. Mr. Camaratta played the bass guitar. The show was awesome and the auditorium was packed with parents, teachers, students, and staff. We are grateful we have such an amazing art department. Thank you Ms. Taylor-Knight, Ms. Doherty, Ms. Pry, Mr. Camaratta, Ms. Finnorn, Ms. Youman, and Mr. Pizzi.Ms. Erin Doherty’s dance class performed a bachata.Great number. The band played Mark Ronson Uptown Funk.Ms. Quirindongo is working on a project for all of the students in room 110 in the upper school. This is a Christmas tree ornament. She used a photo of each of her students. It is so cool! Her students were going to finish the ornament in the classroom!And the party started on Friday, December 15, 2023 with the Middle School Holiday Dance. It was a well attended event and the middle schoolers danced the whole time. DJ Moreno made a playlist with songs the kids had previously requested and she added songs she already had. The students in grades 6-8 had a great time socializing with their peers. It was fun. We are looking forward to have another middle school dance in the spring. The organizers of the dance were Ms. Megan Reider and Danielle West. We also like to thank the Curley Student Government committee members who helped out with the sale of snacks and who also helped DJ Moreno with the sound equipment and lights set up and break down. Thank you. This is the time to donate. Spread the word!This is a great opportunity for you and your child to learn how to ice skate. Thank you parent Ashley Rao for sharing this flyer with us.
