The illustrious Ms. Scarlet has been found dead in the theater due to an unknown poison. It is up to the AP Chemistry students to use their knowledge of Chemistry (specifically molarity, types of reactions, and separation of matter) to solve the mystery of what the poison was, how strong it was, and who the culprit is out of the known suspects."
8th grade French students had a great day making croissants with a culinary educated pastry chef. Students then participated in a scavenger hunt exploring a variety of French products. We ended the day with a luncheon at an authentic French restaurant!
Do you recognize the three ultimate team players in this picture? Mr. Albert, Mr. Attanasio, and Mr. Corso always know how to make us laugh. Thanks for this great Field Day memory!
Welcome future class of 2036 (otherwise known as our incoming kindergarteners for September 2023)! We are excited for our Berkeley Family to expand in the Fall; it was a pleasure meeting everyone during our orientation.
High School students Maya Efraim and Ashley Molina will be attending Girls' Career Institute (GCI). GCI offers a "mini college and career exploration experience" at Rutgers University. Delegates experience a sample of college life by living in a dorm, eating in a cafeteria, and attending lectures and workshops. They learn about career choices from volunteer professional speakers and how to network with other delegates from all over the state of New Jersey.
