A note from Mr. Dubinsky
Second annual Cub Scout Pack 382 Sept. 11 Flag Presentation to Briar Glen School
Firefighter Patrick Nugent has been a firefighter since 2016 when he started at Station 62. He has welcomed Cub Scout dens for tours of the firehouse over the years, and his son, Liam, was a Cub Scout in Pack 382. Assistant Chief Joe Pierotti began as a firefighter in 2008, also at Station 62.
Since both men are part of a volunteer fire company, they both have professional careers outside of the fire station as well. We are grateful for them attending this morning. Thank you for your service!
Spring IAR and Fall MAP scores are coming home Monday
