La Festa di San Gennaro, CREDITO EXTRA

La Festa di San Gennaro, or The Feast of Saint Gennaro, is an annual event that happens every September right here in New York City. Towns in Italy each have a "patron saint" that they celebrate and honor. Gennaro is the patron saint of Naples.

La Festa di San Gennaro

In Little Italy you will find streets filled with Italians and non-Italians celebrating with food and fun each September on Mulberry Street. If you go La Festa di San Gennaro, which takes place from September 15 to September 25, you will receive 5 extra points towards an exam. Please send me a picture of yourself at the festival to my email, alaricchia@schools.nyc.gov. 

Throughout the year, I do not accept any student offers for extra credit. I give many extra credit assignments throughout the year. If you would like extra credit opportunities, please keep in mind that you will have to take the opportunities that I offer. That being said, nobody is required to do any of the extra credit.

More information about La Festa di San Gennaro may be found here: San Gennaro Website

This extra credit must be submitted by the end of September 26, 2016. I am very strict with deadlines! If you send me an email on September 27, it will not be accepted. Please check for a response to ensure that your email was received.
