News & Highlights
Snuggle Up and Read
On March 2, 2012, the PTA, Dr. Munisteri,
building principal and teachers at the Verne
Critz School joined together for the annual
Snuggle Up and Read event. The classrooms were
decorated by parent volunteers to coordinate
with the themes of each story. This year’s
themes were: What Teddy Bears Do at Night, Just
Monkeying Around, Dr. Seuss, One Fine Day, All
about Football, Pinkalious, Rapunzel, Crazy Hair
Day, The Circus and Bedtime Stories in English
and Spanish. The teachers were also in character
and dressed up for this special event.
Prior to the evening the students made their
selections for their reading adventure. Each
student was then issued a passport which
reflected the stories and the rooms they would
travel to. The students arrived in their pajamas
and cuddled up to hear these wonderful stories.
The librarians from the Brookhaven library were
also on hand to share stories as well as make
the parents aware of the many resources they
have to offer. Special thanks to the Bellport
Football coaches and players for sharing their
time and stories with our students! The
students, teachers and parents all agreed that
this evening was a success!
Special thanks to all the
teachers and parents that volunteered their time
for this worthwhile event. We hope you can join
us again next year!
