Pre-K 3&4 Visit Ort Farms for a Baby Animal Tour!

Pre-K3 and Pre-K4 had a wonderful time at Ort Farms for their Baby Animal Tour! The children loved petting the baby goats and meeting all the other animals, and their curiosity and excitement lit up the whole morning. A morning full of giggles, gentle hands, and big smiles. What a special day for our Pre-K friends!

This week we had our science fair/art show! The kids were so excited to see their artwork displayed for everyone to see and the science projects were top notch (as usual)! Well done everyone!

We also had a special tribute to Mr. Johnny! Did you know that Mr. Johnny is an artist? In his spare time he makes intricate shadow boxes using real butterflies and other crazy insects! Make sure to look for his beautiful pieces hanging around the school!

 

 

Thanks to Mr. Roberts we have a big gallery full of photos! Check them out here:

LIFE IS SWEET FOR OUR 4TH GRADERS!

MIDDLE SCHOOL GETS MEDIEVAL 

One of the most fun things to do in New Jersey is taking a trip back in time to the 11th century! Middle schoolers were treated to a day of jousting, falconry and of course EATING WITH THEIR HANDS! God bless our chaperones on what was sure to be a wild and fun field trip!
