Middle School Environmental Students had a blast at the New Jersey School of Conservation!
In 6th grade Science, students recently used crayons to simulate the rock cycle that happens in nature. During the process they created sediments, sedimentary, metamorphic, igneous rocks and melted them down to magma to observe all of the different processes involved in the rock cycle. What an engaging activity to help students internalize the various rock formations!
High School theater students saw the highly anticipated film Wicked. Following the movie, the students led discussion groups critiquing the film and compared it to the live production.

November is Epilepsy Awareness Month: Grade students 5 learned about Epilepsy and Seizure First Aid from Andrea Racioppi from the Epilepsy Foundation of NJ.
Last week, our fifth graders participated in an informative presentation about epilepsy, led by Andrea Racioppi from Epilepsy Services. The session provided students with a deeper understanding of epilepsy, how it affects individuals, and ways to support classmates or friends who may experience seizures. It was a great opportunity to promote empathy, awareness, and inclusivity! #WeAllShine@Washington
