Constructing holiday homes


First-grade students at Bethpage Union Free School District’s Charles Campagne Elementary School welcomed special guests on Dec. 14 during a gingerbread house-making activity.

Each student had the opportunity to invite an adult in their life to join them for the seasonal gathering. The pairs were given their own gingerbread house kit along with glue, scissors and decorations. Superintendent of Schools David Schneider, Director of Technology Andrew Choi and Principal Erin Lindsay-DiFiglia were all on hand to see the holiday-themed creations and welcome the visitors to Charles Campagne.

This holiday activity also served as a lesson in architecture and engineering for the students.
