Fourth graders at Ocean Avenue Elementary School had a special visitor on Oct. 10 to kick off a new shared reading initiative for the month of October. 

New York State Senator James Gaughran visited Jennifer Fargnoli and Jessica’s Armbruster’s class to observe the morning meeting, during which he learned about the students’ favorite places to visit in Northport. Then, the students sat back and enjoyed a book, How I Met My Monster by Amanda Noll, read aloud by Senator Gaughran.

Throughout the month of October, every K-5 class will have a special guest visit their rooms to read them a Halloween-themed book. To Ms. Fargnoli and Ms. Armbruster’s class, “You’ve been Boo…ked!”
