Mt. Pleasant School Celebrates Diversity
By Catherine Bialkowski hen Principal Julie DiGiacomo received word that her very own school, Mt. Pleasant, was ranked as one of the most diverse learning environments in New Jersey by Public School Review, she was delighted, but admittedly not surprised. The West Orange elementary school recognizes diversity on a daily basis it’s simply part of being a student there. The town itself is incredibly diverse, so it’s only natural for children to learn from a young age that differences should be celebrated. “This award only clarifies what we already knew,” DiGiacomo explained. “It’s not surprising, but it’s wonderful to receive formal recognition for something so important, and to actually have data to back it up.” Students rarely pass FREE

Woot’s theatrical performances, which showcase the endless benefits of living and learning in a diverse setting, are a favorite among students and staff. Organized by guidance counselor Lisa Struncis, the effects of this club do not come to a halt when Woot is not formally in session. Its message has reached the entire student body. Woot is not the only part of Mt. Pleasant that helps the children better understand what diversity means. “Teachers are strategic about their lessons,” DiGiacomo said. “They choose to teach in a style that capital-
izes on acceptance, and, when appropriate, certainly bring up the subject of diversity.” On June 9, Mt. Pleasant School took an hour out of the day, after the annual end-of-year carnival and barbecue, to celebrate its spot as one of the most diverse schools in N.J. Students created flags of their families’ cultures and participated in a school-wide discussion about what it means to come from different social, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Afterward, everyone sang “It’s A Small World After continued on page 2

continued from front page All,” and the effect was, in the words of the principal, “amazing.” “With this award, students and teachers alike can more easily understand the full extent of what we have at our school,” she went on to explain. Students at Mt. Pleasant are lucky enough to already see diversity as a part of the fabrics of the school itself. For them, this assembly was an exciting reward for their efforts and understanding. They loved celebrating the day together. This award will not be forgotten anytime soon, and diversity will continue to be an
N
important aspect of Mt. Pleasant School. DiGiacomo, who became principal last July, has no doubt that students and staff alike will continue to be accepting to the differences in everyone who is a part of the school. “I will keep trying my best to be a leader for equality and sensitivity,” she said. The legacy of the award is in the hands of the students themselves, who are already living examples of the importance of teaching about diversity. It truly is, as the children sang, “a small world after all.”

Diversity And Patriotism Waves High During School’s Annual Flag Day Program
By Ashley Bouwense t. Pleasant Elem e n t a r y School’s students, faculty and staff— donned with red, white and
blue—gathered in the gym to celebrate its 14th annual Flag Day program 9:30 a.m. to 10:45 a.m., Tues., June 14. The program has been
gether to create an end-ofthe-year, patriotic Flag Day assembly to honor those who lost their lives in the attacks and to honor the country. More than 400 people attended this year’s celebration, with some outside guests, including war veterans, former Mt. Pleasant principal Michael Schiavo and about 30 parents. Melodic song, encouraging speeches and flowing flags filled the room that morning. The event began with the song, “God Bless America,” sung by Schiavo. The retired principal and former doo-wop

Annual Flag Day Program...
continued from previous page singer received thunderous applause from the audience when he took the stage, an appropriate tribute for the school’s former principal. Following his solo, every gradelevel sang a patriotic song, and then all of the students sang together. At the end of the ceremony, the group watched a slide show of all of the school highlights throughout the year. The montage captured special moments, such as recess, classroom instruction and special events like the annual walk-a-thon. Everyone looks forward to the slideshow every year. “It’s a fan favorite,” said Principal Julie DiGiacomo. “This event is so special because it’s something that is not built in to the curriculum,” DiGiacomo said, “yet it is imperative that we have it built in because it encourages patriotism. It’s important to foster a love for your country at a young age.” Mt. Pleasant was selected as one of the
10 most diverse schools in the country. Only 10 schools in New Jersey were selected for this honor, and Mt. Pleasant was one of them. “Our school is a symbol of what the United States is—a melting pot,” said DiGiacomo. Most of the students who attend the school are from first generation families. Central America, Europe and Africa are only a few of the myriad of places around the globe represented in the Mt. Pleasant student population. “We really come together as a diverse student body to bond over being American,” said DiGiacomo. Not only does the school encourage its diverse community to come together during the Flag Day program, it also supports diversity during its annual, end-of-theyear Family Fun Carnival, which was held Thurs., June 9. The day’s festivities not only included a mechanical bull, dunk tank, DJ, barbecue and bouncy houses, it
incorporated an afternoon Diversity Assembly, where the student body celebrated their diversity award. DiGiacomo has been Mt. Pleasant’s principal for one year now. She said her time at the school has been great and she will support the faculty and staff in keeping the Flag Day program alive.
“It is such a special tradition,” she said. The Mt. Pleasant Elementary School will continue with traditions such as its Flag Day program, as it is a school dedicated to fostering a dynamic and strong community of diverse learners in West Orange, and is a leader in educational diversity in the country.

he arrival of cooler weather marks a prime time to plant bulbs that will bloom come spring and summer.

Magaletta Transforms Properties To One-Of-A Kind Masterpieces
By Cheryl Conway ustom, creation, transformation, specialization, originality and endless options come to mind when describing the services provided at Magaletta Design Environment in Parsippany. With 25 years in the industry, business owner Matthew Magaletta of Florham Park knows how to transform any property or backyard into a sensational yet functional space that carries with it that “wow� factor with any glance of the eye. Magaletta Design Environment is a full landscape design, custom pool builder specializing in outdoor kitchens, full masonry work, decks, outdoor lighting, lawn maintenance, waterfalls and just about everything for outdoor properties. Magaletta Designs is not a “typical� landscaping company. “There’s a lot of landscapers out there,� says Magaletta. Anyone can cut lawns or plant bushes. “People call me when they want their properties and backyards to stand out beyond the rest. When they want to wow their neighbors, that’s when they call me in.� Involved in landscaping since he was 13, Magaletta started out cutting lawns for neighbors. He worked with his neighbor who was a landscape designer.
“I loved working outside,� explains Magaletta. “I took a liking to it,� and continued throughout high school and college. His experience and passion for the landscaping industry “just grew and grew and grew,� he says. “I have the eye for it,� he adds. “Everyone has their niche in life; this is my niche. I can create anything and turn it into a work of art.� Unlike other landscape companies, at Magaletta, “We specialize in custom designs for our clients,� he says. To ensure that customers like the project that is planned, Magaletta provides a 3D video design to the customer. “We show them a 3D design,� so they can see what their house will look like on the outside when the project is completed. While other companies offer a 3D video, Magaletta’s “specialty design is quite spectacular,� he says. Most of Magaletta’s client base is for private homes in Morris and Essex counties but he has done some industrial work such as the landscaping and design at Park Savoy in Florham Park. “We work where the client wants us,� says Magaletta, adding that it will travel even further like to South Jersey if requested. No matter the locale, “every job we are doing is a cus-
tom project,� he says. “We custom to customers’ likes and wants. He uses all kinds of products and equipment, all different patios and paver stones. All of the lighting work is LED; “that’s the norm now.� Working in the landscaping business has been enjoyable for Magaletta. “What I enjoy the most is going to my client’s house and transforming their properties to showcases in the neighborhood. I feel proud that my signs are on their properties. I become personable with clients; they become my friend.� Homeowners will not be disappointed contracting with Magaletta for all of their outdoor property needs. “We are a reputable company with over 25 years of experience,� says Magaletta. “We are honest, we are knowledgeable and you will have an owner, myself, on the projects.� For the month of September, Magaletta is offering three different promotions: 10 percent off any landscaping construction job; $150 off landscaping design of property; or buy 10 LED lights and get three free. For more information, go to magalettadesigns.com. To arrange for an appointment or contract a project, call 973539-1818.

OPEN HOUSE - SUNDAY, JULY 31st! Just Listed! Completely Renovated - Just Move In!
Ted Yarnell
Vernon Twp. $269,900 This Bi-Level, renovated in 2016, is in move-in condition, and is waiting for the right family to call it Home. Visitors are greeted by a patio-block walkway past a cozy gazebo to the front door. The house features a new eat-in country kitchen with granite island and counters and new stainless-steel appliances. There are 2 full and 1 half bathrooms, all new. New carpeting was laid in each of the bedrooms and in the living room and family room. The dining area has a slider to a new deck. The kitchen, dining area and hallways have gleaming hardwood floors. The house is centrally air conditioned, and is fueled by oil, served by an above-ground tank (an underground was removed in 2014 and certified by the town). The home is situated on nearly 1 acre of park-like grounds complete with gazebo, and wishing well.
