Margaret Mace
“Aye Matey!! Did you know that Pirates are favorite subjects among fourth grade students at Margaret Mace?” After reading the book, “How I became a Pirate” by Miranda Long, Ms. Sharon Savarese’s lunch bunch students created a delicious treat and uncovered a hidden treasure! The main character in the book, Jeremy Jacob, realized that he didn’t want to be a pirate after all. He would rather go to soccer practice than lower the sails.
Lunch Bunch is a Friday favorite where students share a meal and get the opportunity to practice their social skills.
