Students in the Falcon Friends Club at John F. Kennedy Intermediate School worked on a lovely Positivity Garden project this spring. They were given a banner, created by teacher Samantha Racano, and filled in all the flower petals with positive words. They also created decorative “rocks of encouragement” by painting meaningful words and phrases on the rocks. 

Run by music teachers Briana Fayans, Kristen Lombardo and Theresa Santa Maria, the Falcon Friends Club encourages socialization while doing fun projects together, building teamwork and fostering new friendships.   

“The Positivity Garden now resides in a showcase at JFK, meant to bring smiles to all who pass by,” Lombardo said.
