Donation is a welcome one for Halloween fun
Familiar faces returned to Tappan Hill School in Tarrytown on Oct. 29 with a delivery of pumpkins for Halloween decorating.
Teacher Erroll Rivera, who retired last school year, and Tappan Hill graduate Michael "MikeyMo" Wisher joined the festivities along with Michael's mother, Justine Riordan.
Principal Francesca Fernandez expressed appreciation for the pumpkin donation and said it was exciting to see Michael and Mr. Rivera at Tappan Hill again. Given the proximity to Sleepy Hollow and Sunnyside, the Washington Irving estate, Halloween is a pretty big deal in the surrounding community.
"What a special moment it was to see our old friends again and to enjoy this generous contribution," Ms. Fernandez said. "Our classes will incorporate activities into their instructional work that include planning and decorating pumpkins, similar to what we do with our bulletin boards and classroom doors. The Tappan Hill community is very appreciative"
