| Building Bridges |

Our wonderfully creative English as a Second Language Teacher, Gaetano Introna, has been working diligently with his students in ESL literally and figuratively building bridges to help master the English Language. With Mr. Introna’s guidance the children constructed a variety of bridges. The beautiful display is exhibited on the third floor of Infante School and the children are very proud of their endeavors. They will happily share in beautiful English their story of building their bridges. Everyone is always welcome at Infante School to view the exhibit. |
