Connetquot Central School District

Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School Life Skills students showcased their creativity and hard work during a holiday craft fair held on Dec.19 throughout all lunch periods. Under the direction of Ms. Argenziano and Ms. Galano, students operated the fair, offering a variety of handmade, festive items created in class over the past month.

Shoppers browsed a selection of keychains, candles, ornaments, chocolate lollipops and other handmade treasures, all crafted by the students themselves. The fair gave students the opportunity to practice important social and financial skills, from chatting with customers to handling money and managing sales. With proceeds going toward future field trips, the event was both a great learning experience and a sweet start to the holiday season.
