Superintendent Schettini
We have just received word that our superintendent, Mr. Pat Schettini, has passed away. As both a teacher and a parent in Reading, I cannot adequately express how very, very sad I feel today. Mr. Schettini was courageous, strong and honest in his fight over these past months. He will be very, very missed. As teachers and students, the very best way for us to honor Mr. Schettini is to be the best students and teachers we can possibly be over the rest of our school year. He will be very missed. Students, please keep Mr. Schettini and his family in your thoughts over the upcoming days. My favorite definition of courage is: "To navigate a tough passage with grit and grace," and I firmly believe Mr. Schettini did just that.

He was an inspiration to me as well. I saw you at the funeral, but was unable to get your attention. Could have used one of your famous hugs!
Thank you! It was such a beautiful Mass, such a tribute to Pat. Best for the new year!
Hi everyone! I am relatively new to forex and have only just found out about all these automated forex robots and such that are supposed to really take a lot of the risk out of forex trading. There are so many though! Can anyone suggest like a good one, based on personal experience? Thank you!

Hi Mrs. Fitz,
This is Zach from Block A. I am very glad that you mentioned Mr. Schettini here. You see, my father grew up with him in Revere. They met in Jr. high, when they still called it that! Although they were a year behind (Mr. Schettini being exactly a year older) they formed a close relationship. They coached youth basketball together in high school and when Mr. Schettini ran for School committee my dad was his campaign manager.
It saddens me very much as well that he is gone. I attended the wake in respect to him as a leader of our community and to how nice he has been to my family. I first met him in 4th grade when he was a new Superintendent and I always enjoyed talking with him from time to time in his 6 years in his position. You couldn't be more right...he will be missed immensly. He fought hard with his illness and he inspired me to "go the distance" and really navigate a successful education. Thanks for sharing and caring. -Zach
