☀️🎉 That's a Wrap, Primary Center! 🎉☀️
Just like that, another amazing school year has come to an end! From the first day of school jitters to the final hugs, our students have learned, grown, explored, created, and made memories that will last a lifetime. ❤️📚✏️
As we head into summer, we encourage our families to enjoy every moment—read a good book, play outside, make new adventures, and create wonderful memories together. 🌳📖🍦☀️
To our kindergarten and first grade students, we can't wait to see your smiling faces back at the Primary Center next year! And to our second graders, we are so proud of you as you take the next big step to the Intermediate Center. We know you will continue to shine and make us proud.
Today also marks a special farewell to a beloved member of our Primary Center family, Mrs. Sue Falcone. After a remarkable career dedicated to children and education, Mrs. Falcone is retiring. Throughout her years in Pittston Area, she touched countless lives as a Family Center educator, 4th grade teacher, kindergarten teacher, and most recently as our 2nd grade reading specialist. Her kindness, dedication, and passion for helping children succeed have made a lasting impact on generations of students and families. 💙📚
Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Falcone on her well-deserved retirement and wishing her many years of happiness, relaxation, and new adventures! 🌸👏
💙🪑 A Place for Friendship, Inclusion, and Community! 🪑💙
Our new Buddy Bench serves as a special reminder that no child should ever feel alone. The purpose of the Buddy Bench is to help students feel included during recess and other activities by providing a welcoming place where friendships can begin and kindness can grow.
More than just a bench, it represents our commitment to building a caring school community both inside and outside the classroom. When students see a classmate sitting on the Buddy Bench, it's an invitation to reach out, include others, and make someone’s day a little brighter.
A heartfelt thank you to the LoPresto, Walski, and Ranieli classes of 2025–2026 for donating this meaningful addition to our playground. Together, we are helping create a school where every student feels seen, valued, and included. ❤️🤍💙

⚾📣 Good Luck, Patriots Baseball! 📣⚾
The Pittston Area Primary Center was bursting with Patriot Pride today as our students lined the driveway to cheer on the Boys Baseball Team as they headed off to the Class 5A Quarterfinals in Fredericksburg! ❤️💙
Armed with handmade signs, pom-poms, and plenty of enthusiasm, our kindergarten, first, and second grade students gave the team a sendoff to remember. The cheers echoed through the campus as our youngest Patriots wished their hometown heroes the best of luck on the big stage.
Seeing former Primary Center students represent Pittston Area with pride is always special, and today's celebration reminded us that once a Patriot, always a Patriot! 🇺🇸⚾
Good luck in the quarterfinals, Patriots! We're all rooting for you! ❤️🤍💙 #PatriotPride #GoPatriots #PAFamily #FuturePatriots

🎨✨ Creativity was on full display at the Pittston Area Primary Center! ✨🎨
Our students explored a variety of open-ended art experiences that encouraged imagination, problem-solving, and self-expression. Students created digital artwork with Mrs. Reza, explored art centers filled with collage materials, paint, and building supplies with Mrs. Davis, and used colorful sidewalk chalk to help beautify the front of our school.
When children are given opportunities to create freely, they learn to express their ideas, take creative risks, and develop confidence in their unique talents. We love seeing our young artists transform everyday materials into extraordinary creations! 🌈🖌️💡

🎶🎷 Swinging into learning! 🎷🎶
This spring, first graders in Mrs. Litchkowski’s, Ms. Imbrogno’s, Ms. Boylan’s and Ms. Richards’ classes had the exciting opportunity to learn about the world of jazz with guest musician and music teacher Mrs. Tara Middleton from Philadelphia, alongside our own music teacher, Mr. Naples! 🎵✨
Students explored the many elements of jazz through scat singing, improvisation, rhythm, and creativity. They learned jazz standards such as Watermelon Man and discovered the contributions of legendary jazz musicians like Cab Calloway and Herbie Hancock. 🎤🎹
Jazz encourages creativity, listening skills, and self-expression, and our students did an amazing job finding their own unique musical voices! 🎶👏
A special thank you to Mrs. Middleton and Mr. Naples for providing this memorable musical experience and helping our students develop an appreciation for this uniquely American art form! ❤️🎺

🎉🎓 End-of-the-Year Fun in Mrs. Luvender’s Kindergarten Class! 🎓🎉
As the school year winds down, Mrs. Luvender’s class has been making memories and celebrating all they’ve accomplished! 🌟

🌸🌱 Kindergarten is growing BIG ideas in the STEM Lab! 🌱🌸
Students in Mr. Lombardo and Mrs. Kelly’s kindergarten classes took the traditional spring flower project to the next level by using hydroponics to grow beautiful snapdragons and zinnias! 🌼💧
But the learning didn’t stop there! Our kindergarten gardeners also helped grow several types of lettuce and greens in the hydroponic garden, including leafy vegetables used to make fresh salads today! 🥗🥬 Students were excited to harvest their crops and enjoy the results of their hard work with ranch or Italian dressing.
Through this hands-on STEM experience, students learned about plant growth, responsibility, healthy eating, and how hydroponic systems can grow plants without soil. The STEM Lab has been blooming with curiosity, teamwork, and springtime fun! 🌷☀️👩🌾👨🌾
A special thank you to Mrs. Reza and Mrs. Luvender for coordinating this amazing project and helping our young learners grow both plants and STEM skills! 💚
