The Red Letter Project, spearheaded by Sophomore class advisor Emilee Marshall, celebrates their journey and cheers them on as they take their next steps. We thank Ms. Marshall - who secured more than 500 letters addressed to every senior - for inaugurating this project.

Kearny Schools Family Fun Night for students for deaf and hard of hearing and their families.

Franklin School-Ms. Abrams’s class enjoyed exploring the life cycle of a butterfly!

History came to life today at Garfield School, where 4th graders hosted their annual Wax Museum event. Dressed as their favorite historical figures, from Rosa Parks and Dr. Seuss to Taylor Swift and Jackie Robinson, students transformed the gymnasium into a living gallery. Each student stood beside a hand-crafted tri-fold presentation filled with fascinating facts, ready to "come to life" at the press of a button. Parents and teachers were invited to walk through the museum, pressing buttons to hear short, student-delivered biographies.
