Mr. Fleming and I are excited to bring back the Kids Heart Challenge this year! In years past, we were able to have parents attend and watch their child participate in the kids' heart activities, but unfortunately with COVID, we cannot do that this year. We are thrilled that our students will be able to help raise and donate money for people fighting against heart diseases and strokes. In addition, we are teaching our students about the importance of heart health. Back in 2020, our school raised $1,185, and I am hoping that we can beat this amount and raise more this year.

In light of the life-altering global pandemic, we believe it’s more important than ever to give our students the opportunity to participate in this uplifting week of kindness. To help our students practice kindness and put their compassion into action, they will receive a Great Kindness Challenge checklist. Click the title to read more.
The first week in October is the “Week of Respect.” It is observed by schools across New Jersey as a way of supporting the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights. We have scheduled daily events during the week to promote positive character education through activities that increase awareness of harassment, intimidation, and bullying behaviors while teaching skills for prevention and remediation. We are encouraging our students to unite and show school spirit together with their peers. Click the title to see the daily events.
