Saturday Morning Class Celebrates End of Year

By Giovanna Miceli Jeffries

Students-Madison, WISaturday, May 21, 2011, the Saturday Morning Italian children class held at the Italian Workmen's Club of Madison celebrated the end of another successful year--the program is now in its 14 year! 7 of the 10 children enrolled were present with their parents and siblings to show their parents how they can communicate information about themselves in Italian. Each student, age 5-9, after an hour of review games and activities, gave their recitations in Italian. They also received a portfolio of their year work compiled by their teachers as well as a "diplomino" for their achievements. Afterwards, all were treated to "dolci, latte & caffé." WisItalia's Educational Committee chair, Giovanna Miceli Jeffries, presented Anna Rockwell and Isabella Livorni, the two dedicated teachers of the program with flowers bouquets and words of appreciation. In the photo, left to right, Anna Rockwell, Massimo Bellazzini, Nell Pollack, Eli Pollack, Matteo Bellazzini, Gennarino Conzemius, Celia Puleo, Pearl Puleo and Isabella Livorni. The three students who are not in the photo are: Ethena Conzemius, Soren and Surya Brasiole. Bravissimi!!!
