May 23: Try Something Thursday

Class of 2024! We celebrate each and every one of you! This is getting real! Go Cards!




Physics students took a trip to American Dream Mall where they got to see the engineering process behind building and loading one of the largest indoor Ferris wheels in the world, the Dream Wheel. They also got to experience the physics they've been learning about all year behind roller coasters, spinning rides, and free fall rides at Nickelodeon Universe.

Mr. Piskadlo's High School Environmental students cleaned up 670 pounds of garbage recovered from the Woodcliff Lake Reservoir. Great job!
