Teachers, staff and students at Amity Middle School in Orange honored the school’s head custodian, Phil Ianniello, Dec. 21 on his birthday. The school community surprised him during a recent pep rally. Everyone sang “Happy Birthday” and honored him by wearing his “signature” mustache. Ianniello has worked at Amity for 34 years and has worked with generations of both students and parents in Orange.
