More vacation news and photos from our WTPS staff! It's truly wonderful to see all these relaxed and happy moments captured. Our new Superintendent, Dave Cittadino, was so excited to share his vacation pictures (and in the true Wayne Schools spirit!), we had to dedicate two slides to them!
Dave Cittadino - WTPS - Superintendent
Family traditions are often part of summer vacations. For over 30+ years, I have vacationed with family in Ocean City, Maryland. My boys learned to swim, fish, and catch Maryland blue claws on the beautiful beaches and bays of the region.
Lauren Kazmark - WTPS - Assistant Superintendent
I had a wonderful family vacation in Hilton Head, South Carolina.
Tess Iannacco - WHHS - Italian Teacher
My husband was my travel companion on this adventure traveling to Tuscany, Lazio and Campania regions of Italy. We also visited Civita, a surreal town of Etruscan origin-pre Roman times. It is still inhabited by 16 people. It is known as the “dying city”.
Jane D’Annunzio-Drehetz - AWMS One on one Nurse
Over these summer months being at my little cabin on Lake Owassa and going to the barn every day has been my vacation dream!! Sharing my horse Silver Moon and my cabin. Some of my little friends from school have visited the barn with their moms and we had a pizza party!! This has been the best vacation!!
Crystal Olson - Ryerson - School Counselor
Our family has been enjoying time together under the summer sun - we often go out to eat, play in the grass, and immerse ourselves in water wherever we come across it!
