Happy Thanksgiving

We would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!
Please take time to reflect, over the next few days, on all the gifts and blessings we have received.

We Are What We Eat!!!

Our 7th and 8th grade students were fortunate enough to have Miss Carly Sopko, Registered Dietitian from the Washington Shop-Rite, come in and speak to them about nutrition. Carly explained that the students have all the tools needed to make healthy and smart choices when it comes to meals and snacks. She also explained the importance of a balanced nutritious diet and it's effects on academic performance.

We are so lucky to have such a valuable resource available for our students and families. Please feel free to contact Carly with any questions or for some free advice:

VERY IMPORTANT

Please watch the following video from 60 minutes regarding the increase use of heroin in our society. The information is well presented and informative, but also very concerning. Thanks to Mrs. Diaz for alerting us to this video. Her work with the Municipal Alliance is outstanding and she is constantly working to improve our community.

Planting the Promise

All our students had the opportunity on November 4th to plant a red tulip bulb as part of our Red Ribbon Week celebration, which takes place next week beginning with November 9th. Throughout the week students and staff will celebrate RRW with lots of activities that help us to RESPECT ourselves an live drug free. Students "Planted a Promise" to remain drug free which we can revisit this spring when all of red tulips will bloom.
