Who says the 100th day of school gets all the glory? On the 67th day of school, Garfield School dressed the part!
Our staff coordinated a surprise today by wearing all things 6 and 7! We love finding new reasons to celebrate our amazing students and bring a little extra joy to the hallways. We are all officially 67 days smarter!

Thanks to all of the Kearny High School staff and students whose contributions to the Salvation Army Giving Tree program will help over 50 local families and their children this Christmas.
