Ms. Kleinās MD class took their learning into the community today with a trip to ShopRite of Kearny! š
Students worked hard on important life skills by following a shopping list, locating items throughout the store, and practicing appropriate walking in a public setting. They also did a wonderful job waiting patiently in line and even scanning their own groceries at checkout!
We are so proud of their independence, teamwork, and growth. Experiences like these help build confidence and real-world skills that will last a lifetime. Way to go, everyone! šš

May we continue to inspire our students to dream boldly and lead with courage and integrity.

Congratulations to Haley Felix for an outstanding performance at this yearās NJ Poetry Out Loud Region 6 competition: Hudson, Bergen, Passaic Counties.
Haley made it to the third and final round and did an amazing job reciting her three poems. Her hard work and dedication to this unique opportunity landed her a spot in the top ten. This was no small feat as the NJ P.O.L. representative pointed out that this yearās competition was a tight race and the most talented she had seen in her five years of holding the position. One of the judges was originally from Kearny and she made sure to go up to Haley and let her know that she did a great job representing Kearny High School. We are very proud of Haley and all of the students that participated in poetry Out Loudās special 250th Americana themed competition this year.
