Welcome to Wading River's Home on the Web.  This year offers our students a historic and wonderful adventure, filled with rich learning experiences. There is so much to highlight, from learning about how caterpillars transform into butterflies to making new discoveries every day by unlocking the mysteries of reading, mathematical reasoning, and scientific exploration; our youngsters grow so much. All the while, they will write and publish stories, learning how to articulate and expand their thoughts, ideas, and insights with the world.

I appreciate all the time, effort and sharing the teachers, parents, community and students have given to make Wading River such a warm place to learn. A special thank you to our PTA for their generosity in the many ways they volunteer their time and talents for our students.

Thank you for your ongoing support of the teaching and learning at Wading River School. I wish you and your family a year filled with new experiences, family, friends, and learning opportunities that will be used as a springboard for success throughout your child's lifetime.

For those stopping by for a virtual visit of our school, if you have any questions or wish to have an in-person tour arranged, feel free to contact me at your convenience so you may see firsthand some of the exemplary work our students, teachers and staff engage in each day.

Sincerely,
Louis P. Parrinello
Principal

Wading River School was awash with students, families and friends at the annual Evening of the Arts on April 10. Upon entering the school, cheerful music filled the air, indicating the festive arts celebration inside. Dozens of students in grades four and five served as art ambassadors, art teachers Daria Browne and Rosemarie Petruzzellis greeted parents and grandparents as students showed off their works displayed throughout the hallways. A fun art scavenger hunt encouraged participants to read the placards beside the colorful art pieces created throughout the year including pumpkins, sunflowers, butterflies, trees, self-portraits and more.

The festivities continued with the third grade orchestra – directed by music teachers Erin Fasano and Jenilyn Smith – performing several popular selections and culminating with Queen’s “We Will Rock You.”

The evening was a joyful celebration of creativity, imagination and connection in Shoreham-Wading River.
