Good morning,
Please be advised that due to the rise in positive cases and the amount of quarantined and ill individuals, we are suspending play for both the girls' and boys' basketball teams for the remainder of the week. We will monitor the situation closely throughout the winter break to see if we can safely participate again in January.
Warmer weather has been good for the plants in the greenhouse! If you have been by the greenhouse at night you may have noticed a pink/purple glow? Some of our grow lights are working. Thanks to the warm days a few of our plants got a little bigger in the past few days.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the library! Our tree is decorated with homemade storybook character ornaments by K-4 students :)
The boys JV basketball team defeated Lafayette 26-13 and are now 3-0 to start the season!
The girls varsity basketball team lost to Sussex-Wantage 20 - 13. The girls were led by Claire Sieminski (8pts.), Kendall Strehl (2pts.), Morgan Andersen (2pts.) and Juliette Matti (1pt.).
The JV Boys basketball team opens their season with a win over Sussex Wantage!
Our Read A Thon has ended! With over 84,000 minutes read and over $21,000 raised this has been the most successful one yet! A big thank you to The Barnyard, Broad Street Books, Skylands Ninja Warrior, Skylands Ice World, and the Sussex County Miners for their generous donations.
Recess is still outside each day. Please send your children with their coats. They need the fresh air and exercise!
8th Grade students had the privilege to meet “Grandpa Mike” last week, who shared his father’s WWII story of bravery and sacrifice. His plane was shot down, he was captured, and was held in a POW camp for months. He documented his experience in 8 journals using ink he created from food labels and paintbrushes he made out of his own hair! An American hero and inspiration to our students.
Fifth-graders are participating in #GivingTuesday2021 by collecting donations for our annual winter coat drive. Please consider helping them with their efforts by contributing to this great cause by December 10th.
5th grade had so much fun experimenting and learning about chemical reactions today.
If you ordered cheesecakes from the Summer Enrichment fundraiser, Wednesday, November 24 from 1 pm to 4 pm is the pickup date. You can pick them up at the middle school entrance. If you have any questions, please reach out to Greg Symons or Brendan Post.
Greenhouse is all cleaned up and ready for growing. We started a few colder weather test plants in the greenhouse to see what makes it in the colder months. Hopefully the weather cooperates so they can grow a little bigger before it gets too cold.
This is our very talented photographer, Reese Vreeland !
Oh! The places you will go!
