All of Sea Cliff Elementary was green with excitement as students and faculty kicked-off the St. Patrick’s Day festivities with a fantastic in-school parade! As Principal Zublionis made the morning announcements, students were encouraged to look for leprechauns, shamrocks, fairy dust, and even fool’s gold throughout the building. Wearing colorful green outfits, joyous students and staff participated in a fun-filled St. Patrick’s parade in the halls of the elementary school led by teacher Ms. Eileen O’Connor who was dressed in a leprechaun costume! Somehow, even before this fun-filled day even began, leprechauns got into the school and messed up the office and gym to the pleasant surprise of the younger students!!! In the gym, led by Miss O’Connor and Mr. DiNicola, the students learned about some of the traditions of St. Patrick’s Day and participated in festive races looking for shamrocks, gold and leprechauns! Additionally, they happily climbed on the ropes, rings, and pummel horse all dressed in green! Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all!
