In celebration of the Kearny School District Elementary Wellness Week, we encourage our community to take a moment for mindfulness:
No time for a workout? No problem! Try these 3 easy chair exercises to stay active while sitting:
✔️ Seated Leg Lifts – Lift one leg at a time, hold for a few seconds, and switch!
✔️ Chair Twists – Rotate your torso side to side for a core stretch.
✔️ Shoulder Rolls – Roll shoulders forward and backward to release tension.
💡 Tip: Move every 30 minutes to keep your body feeling great! Try these during class or at your desk. #WellnessWeek #MoveMore
The Franklin School PSD/ABA classes are using their new communication board outside on the playground. They were very interested in it and even had some of the students tell us "I want play" and "I want slide". This will help them communicate with their friends and teachers!

Franklin School: The Pre-K 4 students at Franklin explored the fascinating world of a grocery store. They wrapped up their study with the grand opening of the FRANKLINS GROCERY STORE. The children had a great time playing various roles, including being customers, working at the cash register, bagging items, and even baking “cookies” as bakers. They also engaged in creating their shopping lists and cutting out coupons.
