Carmine Giovinazzo Visits Port Richmond

     On Thursday, October 10th, Port Richmond had the honor of welcoming 1991 alumnus Carmine Giovinazzo, who many might recognize as Detective Danny Messer from the hit T.V. show "C.S.I.: New York." As a student at Port Richmond, Carmine was involved in Performing Arts and was a part of the Raider Baseball Team. With his experience, he was able to encourage and inspire our students to pursue their dreams, particularly for acting and performing. Raiders were pleased to meet Giovinazzo and were thankful for his appearance, hoping he would come back for another visit in the near future.

T.V./Media Mixer

     Another special SLC mixer was held this Tuesday, October 8th, for the T.V./Media SLC sophomores, allowing them to meet and mix with the SLC seniors. SLC Assistant Principal Ms. Hershenfeld was there to meet and speak with the students, and T.V. Media teacher Mr. Garis gave a presentation to celebrate the achievements of last year's "Good Morning Port Richmond" crew, and inspired the sophomores, letting them know what is expected of them in the years to come. Students enjoyed pizza and soft drinks as they watched GMPR's highlights, and all the SLC members had a chance to bond and have fun.

Port Richmond's "White Party" Success

     This past Friday, something that has never been done before was a huge success. With more than 100 tickets sold, the first party of the year paved the way for our future student gatherings. The Freshman Academy, with the help of Mr. Medugno and his student council, put the whole shindig together, inviting Oxygen's reality star Priscilla Mennella for a special meet and greet with our students. Not only did everyone have a great time dancing under the black lights and taking pictures with Priscilla, which are available on the prstudentactivities Instagram account, but Port was able to raise money for the Freshman Academy, making it possible to have more events like these in the future.
