About:

The Tuttle Cares Club, under the direction of co-advisers Barbara Masuck and Nicole Rao, collected new hats, gloves and scarves to donate to Holly’s Hats and Robby’s Gloves. As the students brought in their donations, the items were placed on a beautiful holiday tree in Tuttle Avenue Elementary School’s rotunda, which has been decorated as a winter wonderland. Holly’s Hats and Robby’s Gloves founder Vicki Senecal visited the students to not only collect the items, but to thank them for their philanthropic actions.

Students also attended a No Place for Hate assembly, where Principal Jeanmarie Zambelli read “Snowflake Bentley” by Jacqueline Briggs Martin and discussed how the students and faculty are like snowflakes in that each of them is different.

“We are all unique and different, and that is ok,” Ms. Zambelli said.

During their science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics classes, the students made their own exquisite snowflakes that are now hung in the rotunda. The second grade students also wrote about how they are unique.

New York City Police Detective John McCue also visited first grade students and gave them each a gift of a police department pin and wished them a safe and happy holiday. The students also toured Detective McCue’s police car and talked to him about his job as a detective.
