Students in the Introduction to Education class at Linden High School hosted an array of activities for children of the staff for Take Your Child to Work Day on Thursday. Teacher Anthony Fischetti said it was a great event, thanks to the students. "I was so impressed with their maturity and nurturing attitude during this event," he said. "Whether working on arts and crafts, playing board games, creating clay figures, escorting students to their parents' classrooms or to the restroom, the Intro to Ed students really made the celebration a total success. So many faculty and staff members brought their children that at one point there had to be 25 kids here. There were no tears, and everybody left happy!"
