Kearny High School -

KHS: This week students in Mrs. Cassidy's Junior English class participated in a pre-reading activity for Edgar Allan Poe's story, "The Cask of Amontillado". Small groups circulated through four different stations and responded to picture prompts that corresponded with the story. Upon completion, students shared their colorful predictions about what the story would be about. The consensus was a murder took place in Italy during a masquerade party and they need to find the culprit.

🎭The original cast of the 2020 production of The Addams Family attended the closing night show on Saturday, March 16, surprising Ms. Gonzalez and showing their support of 2024 players. It was a bittersweet moment for the cast of 2020 to see the production, as the doors of KHS closed one week prior to their showtime. During the show, the 2020 cast jumped in and helped with the concession stand and door sales. At the end of the show, the 2020 and 2024 cast gathered on the stage for photos. Each 2020 cast member stood next to the character they were supposed to portray. The evening was extremely emotional for all. When talking with the 2020 cast, they said, "Perhaps it was meant to be that we couldn't put on the play, as this cast blew it out of the water! They are incredible and each actor is spot on with their character!" This night gave closure for the 2020 cast to see the production come to life, and an opportunity to meet up with their own "Addams Family."🎭

Michael Clifford from the Lyndhurst Police Department and the Police Pipes and Drums of Bergen County surprised our Kearny High School students this morning with an array of music on the bag pipes.
