Oresko School celebrates Water Festival
FESTIVAL GUESTS – Nicholas Oresko School students welcomed some special guests to the ninth annual Water Festival. Pictured from left: Principal Maria Kazimir; eighth grade student Karen Sinay; seventh grade student Casey Popowski; Mayor Mark Smith; eighth grade students Jacob McNamara, Anthony Lenardo, Kishan Patel, Marelle Ghobryal, and Danielle Baran; science teacher and festival coordinator Barbara DeBenedictis; and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Patricia McGeehan.
On May 16, Nicholas Oresko School held its ninth annual Water Festival. Students in grades pre-k to eight attended. The festival offered the opportunity for students, faculty, families and community members to gather in a carnival-like atmosphere to celebrate water. Through hands-on experiments, activities, crafts, and games, participants learned about water’s properties and the ways to conserve and protect water and the environment. Science teacher Barbara DeBenedictis and her students planned, decorated, and ran the festival. This is the eighth year that DeBenedictis has received a grant from N.J. Project WET to run the festival. Seventh and eighth grade students created educational displays and facilitated the table activities for younger students. Some of these activities included creating water cycle bracelets, rainsticks and suncatchers; playing magnetic fishing games and ocean habitat matching games for prizes; running a water relay race; planting seeds in
take-home planters; experimenting with properties of water, such as surface tension and buoyancy; and making bubbles from a homemade mixture. Each table had a student-created educational display, including those themes such as aquatic habitats, fish advisories for Newark Bay, water conservation, pollution, photosynthesis, and water properties. Attendees included Mayor Mark Smith, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Patricia McGeehan, science director David Minard, and state coordinator for N.J. Project WET Kevin Kopp. Students from Vroom School also attended. The organizations that worked with the students and faculty for this year’s festival included the Municipal Utilities Authority, United Water, the Hudson County Improvement Authority, and Passaic Valley Sewerage Authority. Parents donated snacks and volunteered time to help out. The Oresko P.T.A. provided a bottle of water and pizza for each student.
Little Lamb Preschool students recently received a visit from Officer Daniel Pellicier, a lifelong resident of Bayonne who has been protecting and serving the citizens of Hudson County as a Sheriff’s Officer for nearly five years. The children have been learning about the importance of community helpers. Officer Pellicier’s main goal was for the two- to five-year-old group to understand that a Sheriff’s Officer is their friend. With the help of a workbook featuring the famous Officer McGruff the Crime Dog, Officer Pellicier taught the children about topics ranging from stranger danger to the importance of 9-1-1. He handed out the coloring workbooks and came equipped with crayons, rulers, pencils, and bookmarks, all labeled with important tips to remember. After the presentation, he visited with the toddler classes. The staff of Little Lamb Preschool thanked Officer Pellicier for taking time out of his busy day to come visit. To arrange a firefighter, EMT, or military servicemember visit with Little Lamb, call (201) 437-6244.

The contest winner received a $300 prize, and all participating students received a certificate and copy of “The Portable Thomas Jefferson.” Pictured are the BHS participants with staff and faculty members of BHS and the lecture competition.
