Our kindergarten students demonstrated exceptional teamwork and enthusiasm as they collaborated on their How-To-Books! We look forward to reading their published stories and witnessing their growth as young authors! #JustFocusonGrowing

Thank you to the PSO and the Washington Township Alliance who sponsored our recent assembly, "Bound for Greatness" hosted by author, athlete, teacher, and motivational speaker, Mr. West. Mr. West is even sending autographed photos to each and every student in the upcoming days!
Class of 2026 and 2027 met this week with our school counselors and work-based learning coordinator to review course requests, select/prioritize electives and log into Naviance to create/update their resume. Reminder: if you have not done so already, get involved inside and outside of school (and note it on your resume).
Our High School Varsity Debate Team crushed it at the last tournament of the regular season with juniors Angel Morales and Daniel Shotkin winning first place. Each of our captains also brought home a speaker trophy - Angel won the tournaments' third-place speaker award and Daniel won the award for second-place speaker of the day. While we are sad to see the regular season end, it has been our best one yet!! Our team is working diligently in anticipation of next Friday's championship tournament. GO CARDS!!
