I’m thrilled to be the Principal of Jockey Hollow Middle School! themonroesun.com/strong-chosen-…

No better way to end the last school day at STEM than a visit from STEM’s first principal! Happy summer everyone, and a very happy retirement to Mr. Ceccolini! ❤️ instagr.am/p/Ce8jM3TAC75/

Whether it was chalk art, wall ball, knockout or Jenga, everyone found something fun to do for STEM Fun Days! instagr.am/p/Ce8hLyhAyx8/

Micalizzi’s Brain Freeze Italian ice cart- you made our rainy day all shiny at STEM! Thank you PTO for sponsoring 💕 instagr.am/p/Ce32p9WgwyF/

From the warm welcome, to the playground, the sports and games, time with friends, and even Mr. Crowley’s last cup of the famous clam chowder as JH principal, our day at Holiday Hill was a bittersweet farewell party for the marvelous Class of 2022! instagr.am/p/CeSM2jtg1xA/

They Ain’t Misbehavin’! Masuk’s Spectagala learning event all about the 1920’s got an assist from Mrs. Forstrom’s STEM Library Council and their exhibit on 20’s music. instagr.am/p/Cdy57R0OTbV/

Congratulations to Jockey Hollow STEM Academy grade 6 teacher Melissa Carter, second from left, who was honored last night with the CSTA Excellence in Science Teaching Award. We sure do have some lucky students in Monroe! instagr.am/p/CdeSY--uvUn/

The conductor doesn’t play any music in the performance. His success comes from getting all the musicians to perform their best. Mr. Ceccolini, you have inspired us to perform our best in Monroe throughout your career. We will miss you very much. 🎶❤️ instagr.am/p/CdXAn05A6iR/

Blast from the musical theatre past! Mrs. Schiffer and Mr. Halliwell are here to watch Mr. Ceccolini conduct his final concert before he retires. These three have done a lot of shows together! instagr.am/p/CdW1PKxAinf/

Mother’s Day gift: Dillon was selected as STEM Superintendent Student of the Month. Congratulations! instagr.am/p/CdOnRcluaLK/

Students as teachers! Multicultural Monday series (ok it was Thursday) all about Ramadan and the holiday of Eid. Muhammad, Sofyan and Emad enlightened the audience and left us all wanting date cookies! instagr.am/p/CdL9KH5uL7T/
