Newtown High School Italian students came into the school’s lecture hall to celebrate Italian Day on Tuesday, October 29. The event was coordinated, as it has been for many years, by NHS Italian teacher Laura Battisti. She has worked hard to make the event a long-standing tradition for NHS’s Italian students by preparing fun activities for them every single year. This year marks the school’s 21st annual Italian Day, and Battisti was excited as ever to treat her students for the special occasion.

Students from her five different Italian classes cycled into the lecture hall over the course of several hours to celebrate. Italian Day is a culmination of all their work in class so far, and Battisti made sure that carried over into the decorations and activities scattered throughout the room.
