COMMACK MIDDLE SCHOOL

A new star has hatched. And the students at CMS are chirping about it.

Buddy the Finch is the first-ever hatchling born in the middle school aviary's history.

Proud (and protective) parents are Joe DiMaggio-Finch and Marilyn Monroe-Finch.

Buddy is named after Buddy the Elf.

Lab attendant Erin Ari is taking spectacular care of the family, including introducing new food options and additional playful structures in the aviary.
