High School Algebra I students in Mrs. Martello's class used linear regression to predict the number of rubber bands for Barbie to bungee jump from the top of the stairwell.
It was a big day for Ms. McKaba's AP Chemistry class as this was the first time they were asked to complete a titration. What a relief that all titrations worked and the "pink of death" of phenolphthalein was nowhere to be seen!
Westwood Regional High School French and History students had a fantastic experience exploring European Renaissance art at The MET NYC. It was a great way for students to gain insight on the material learned in class and connect it to the real world.
Mr. DeBlasio's Honors Design Thinking class put together an impressive presentation that included future plans involving social media marketing towards the American Dream Mall. The students have been working towards satisfying the American Dream Team by coming up with different ideas on ways to attract people to the mall. This presentation included explaining to Mr. Connelly different reasons as to why the students should go back to the mall to create content to post on their new social media accounts in an attempt to show the American Dream Team how effective social media marketing can be. Don’t forget to follow the accounts!

Ms. Kemple and the her students in the High School Science National Honor Society completing the 2023 Shoebox Project. The goal was to pack 10 shoe boxes with books, footballs, small stuffed animals, highlighters, and anything else that would easily fit into a shoebox. They are then hand-delivering them to 3-8th grade classes in Newark for the holidays. This year they surpassed their goal and are sending 20 boxes! Great job!
