Over 100 registered participants had the opportunity to enjoy actively learning how to make Italian pizza dough live, learning some Italian history, creating a craft, learning Italian language throughout the session and moving to popular Italian music. If you were unable to attend this cultural event, please view the recording at the Michigan State University Extension4-H Global and Cultural Education resource website.

The Dante Alighieri Society firmly maintains that Tom Favia should be recognized for his significant contributions to scholastic sports and public education. Consequently, we would like the James J. Ferris High School gym designated as the “Tom Favia Memorial Gymnasium.”
Thomas J. “The Turk” Favia passed away on September 28, 2018. He was an educator, basketball coach, “dean,” and union leader par excellence. Before stepping down as president of the Jersey City Education Association (JCEA) in 2012, Tom Favia had dedicated nearly six decades of his life toward the betterment of the Jersey City School District.
