Last Wednesday, 11/8, Mr. DeBlasio's Design Thinking class took a trip to the American Dream Mall. The class had an hourlong meeting with Don Ghermezian (The CEO of Triple Five Group who owns the mall), the General Manager, and members of his marketing team at their corporate headquarters. The class received their four-part challenge, which they will work on over the next 8-9 weeks and the students will then return and present their solution to the group. Afterward, the class got a firsthand tour of the facility which is one of the three largest entertainment complexes in the Northern Hemisphere! Amazing experience for our students!

Westwood Regional High School acknowledged Veterans Day by honoring local veterans from the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 6192. The school facilitated a panel discussion with veterans who served in The Gulf War and the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Commander Jim Gerbig, a Naval Academy graduate, who served in the Gulf War participated in the panel along with Army Veterans Shaun Hutchinson (Master Sergeant) and Vincent Tirri (Lieutenant Colonel). Both Hutchinson and Tirri served in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Also, included in the panel discussion was Mrs. Cheryl Hodges, mother of Marine Sergeant Christopher Hrbek who graduated from Westwood Regional High School and was killed serving in Afghanistan. The panelists answered questions about their service from students. The personal accounts shared by the local veterans had a meaningful impact on our students. Our students were fully engaged as the panelists offered their insights and reflections on the war through their unique lens as direct participants. True heroes, thank you for your service!
