FAIR HAVEN – Third grade students at Viola L. Sickles School hopped on boards and bikes on June 13 as part of the traditional “Transition Day” celebration. The day started with a music- and memory-filled parent show, organized by music teacher Vince Mottern and the 3rd grade staff. After a family gathering in McCarter Park, the students began their journey over to Knollwood, the school they will attend in the fall, cheered on by teachers, district administration, and incoming Superintendent Sean McNeil.
Fourth graders at Knollwood greeted the prospective students, and then the youngsters were serenaded by the glee club, band, and orchestra members. Afterward, they heard a presentation about student life at Knollwood, and received an official welcome from Principal Amy Romano. “There are lots of terrific things happening here at Knollwood School that you will soon be a part of,” said Romano. “Together we will grow physically, academically, and socially.”
