D. Ferraioli Landscape Design Decorates West Brook Entrance

A local landscaper donated his time and ability to decorate the entrance to Thursday morning.

Dennis Ferraioli, who owns D. Ferraioli Landscape Design in Maywood, designed a pumpkin, squash, hay and flower arrangement near the front doors of the middle school, and adorned the columns supporting the canopy entrance with corn.

Ferraioli, who has a nephew in the fifth grade, said his sister-in-law asked if he could help the school.

Principal Carla Alvarez was grateful for Ferraioli's work.

"We're very appreciative because we've been looking to beautify the outside of the school," she said.
