Our halls have been busy this summer, BUT truly missing the smiles, laughter, and pitter- patter footsteps of our children! 26 days until our doors open for the 22-23 school year! WE MISS OUR JFG CARDINALS AND CAN'T WAIT TO WELCOME YOU BACK HOME!

Thanks to our past and present PSOs for some fun additions to our blacktop for outside activities...but what will the final product look like? Let's wait and see!

Look what's growing in our student garden at Brookside! This week we have radishes and lettuce. Yum! Stay tuned to see what we harvest next.

Our custodians are hard at work getting Brookside ready for the new school year! We can't wait to have our staff and students back!



Our Final Day of www.responsiveclassroom.org involves learning more about Effective Management Techniques and Family Community Building.




Today we are investigating some Interactive Learning Strategies within www.responsiveclassroom.org to support academic and social/emotional competencies.

The essential Morning Meeting within www.responsiveclassroom.org has been both fun and interesting to learn via modeling and interactive practice. The Morning Meeting includes greeting, sharing, group activity, and morning message.




I'm excited to join educators this week for training in www.responsiveclassroom.org in South River, NJ. I'm thrilled WRSD and K-5 will be utilizing this program to be more successful inside and outside of school with positive social, emotional, and academic competencies.




Mr. Danny and Mr. Raymundo always work hard....especially during the summer months while preparing for the next school year!


Congratulations to the Class of 2022! I am so proud of this group and honored to have been their principal! Go change the world!


It was an emotional morning as the fifth graders reflected back on their last year at JFG! They enjoyed a video created by their teacher that highlighted the most memorable moments of the 21-22 school year!
