The PTA is collecting end-of-year gift funds for our Specials teachers (art, P.E., music, library, Spanish) and non-teacher Staff (front office, nurse, admins, academic interventionists, social workers, lunch aides, custodians, crossing guards...)

Any amount is appreciated! Please donate by June 16 here>> 

Reminder: No School on Friday June 16 in honor of Juneteenth

6/15/2023 6:30 am

School's almost out! But don't forget, school's closed this Friday, June 16th off for Juneteenth. Mark your calendars. 

Why are your children out Friday, but the federal Juneteenth holiday is Monday? Great question! The answer: New Jersey made Juneteenth a holiday before the federal government did, and the state observes the holiday on the third Friday of June. 

Here’s a great resource from the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., that you can use to learn about and discuss Juneteenth with your TT!
