Meet Marcus!

Marcus is a sixth grader in Mrs. Graf’s class. Also known as “Wheatie,” Marcus enjoys making clay animation movies with his cousins, one of which was already published in a previous post. His favorite subject in school, other than making people laugh, is science. His fondest school memory is of Bethpage Village (what a shock!) Marcus is looking forward to spending time with his cousins and conjuring up new contraptions. His favorite player is Mark Teixeira, who also happens to play for the New York Yankees, Marcus’s favorite sports team. His favorite thing to eat? Philly cheese steaks! Marcus’s classmates think he is hilarious, talkative, happy, innovative, and smart.

A word about Marcus, from his teacher, Mrs. Graf—Marcus is known for his sense of humor and unique questions. A few years ago in class, when one little girl had the hiccoughs, Marcus said he knew of a solution, “Stand on your head and drink a gallon of pineapple juice,” he told the poor hiccoughing victim. When the class burst out laughing he said, “Or was it some other juice…” Suffice it to say that Marcus keeps our spirits happy with his funny antics and wittiness. We’re all glad he’s part of our class!
