April 3, 2022

Rocky Point’s Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School recently celebrated with a St. Patrick's Teacher/Staff Appreciation Breakfast with the school’s administration, faculty and staff.

The 5th Grade Student Council, under the advisement of Jean Costa, showcased their leadership skills by helping to plan, organize and decorate for the event and greeted guests of honor on the day of the event. The students distributed printed programs of the morning’s festivities and ushered faculty members to their seats for the breakfast.

The 5th Grade Select Chorus, “High Notes” under the direction of Craig Knapp, then performed renditions of several Irish songs including “Danny Boy,” “Bonnie Irish Girl” and “An Irish Dance.”

“I’m very proud of my 5th Grade Select Chorus students,” Knapp said. “The students worked very hard for many months preparing for this special event. I’m also very proud of my student teacher, Ms. Desiree DeMelfi, for leading students so wonderfully in her conducting debut. The students and I were very thankful and appreciative for the warm response received after the performance. It was truly a stellar morning of much needed togetherness for all involved.”
