Third Graders Learn about Schools around the World!

Students in Ms Serafini's classroom read the story, "Schools Around the World," and Ms. Serafini wanted her students to learn about another culture.  So she asked Mary Mannion Cobzaru and her husband, Pavel, to pay a visit.  Pavel is from Moldova and Mary met Pavel when she spent 2-1/2 years in Moldova with the Peace Corps.  Pavel told the students about getting up early to work on the farm, going to school and then back to work on the farm after school.  The Cobzarus taught the students a traditional Moldovan celebration dance--the Hora.  In the picture above, the students are holding a Sataf de Masa, or Top of the Table, which is used during celebrations and can be put on a table or hung on a wall.

Penn's Landscape Improved by Charles Davis!

Penn Alumnus and BPHS sophomore Charles Davis decided to improve the landscaping at William Penn for his Eagle Scout project.  Charles organized a work crew of 40 people who donated over 250 hours in a two-day period in early August to provide improvements to the landscaping, including mulching, edging, weeding, tree trimming and removal, developing dirt mounds and refurbishing the Rosemary Gainar Memorial Bench.  Thank you, Charles, for making great improvements to our school grounds!
