In recognition of National Nurses Week, May 6-12, the Kearny School District extends heartfelt gratitude to our nursing staff. Thank you for all you do to keep our children safe and healthy. We appreciate you!
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week from the Kearny School District! Extending sincerest gratitude for the dedication and commitment to education brought forth by our teachers, this week and every week. Thank you for all that you do.
Two of Melody Larossa’s Introduction to Engineering Design students placed third in the Technology Student Association (TSA) NJ state board game design competition! 🏆 Glenda Arenas and Julissa Montes Martinez created the concept for the game, Jurassic Breakout, and designed the physical packaging, game board, pieces and instructions. They used a combination of materials to create the game, including 3D designed and printed pieces. Glenda and Julissa dedicated a lot of time to the project and came up with a clever and fun game. We are very proud of them.
On May 1, the Success students went to Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center. During this field trip, students experienced an immersion of STEM and Sports, learning about the physics of baseball, as well as how mathematics and statistics permeate the athletic experience. Not only that, but the students had the opportunity to use radar & laser technology to physically demonstrate concepts like momentum and the kinetic energy as they pertain to baseball! They calculated their own physical “strides” just like professional pitchers do, and learned how science and math are intricately linked to athletic performance. Special thanks to Sonia Mendes and our chaperones for a fantastic day, and shout out to Jenny Pollack of the Yoga Berra Museum for her interactive presentation.
KHS would like to share the link below for an upcoming community event that hopefully will interest children in grades 7 -12. The motivational guest speaker, Craig Jandoli is a highly regarded speaker and regular speaker at the annual Youth Peer Leadership State Conference hosted by the State Elks Association. We are fortunate to be able to schedule Craig to speak to the community, especially the engagement of the teen youth population in Kearny. Kearny is hosting the event in an effort to bring awareness to the community about mental health, wellness and opioid overdose awareness and education.

Last week Mr. Vegas physics students were challenged to design a container that would be able to keep a chicken egg intact after a fall from 1 meter, 2 meters, and finally from the 4th floor window. This was part of a unit on the momentum-impulse theorem and applications of Newton's Laws. Students did research and then built designs within the limited supply constraints: 10 sheets of computer paper, 10 popsicle sticks, 1 m of string and 1 m of tape. Almost all the groups made it through the 1 meter drop, and more than half were successful at 2 meters. But in the end only three groups managed to survive the drop from the fourth floor window. Giselle Giron Cholotio built a container with a parachute similar to ones used in military air drops. Litzy Rosas and Ricardo Guitierrez used reinforced padding similar to a Mars lander, and Emrah Jadic built a lightweight pyramidal structure that emulated the crumple zones of a car.

🦷🌟This past Saturday, five of Mrs. Marsh’s Dental I students volunteered to participate in the 91st Annual New Jersey Dental Assisting session in New Brunswick. The students had the opportunity to ask questions and take notes in two continuing education courses, representing the enthusiasm and professionalism of our Kearny student community. The students shared smiles all around as Mrs. Marsh was installed as Vice President of the New Jersey Dental Assisting Association. Congratulations to Mrs. Marsh and kudos to our kids for participating in such a prestigious event.
In recognition of National School Principal's Day, we would like to express our gratitude to each of our school principals: Mr. Brack, Dr. Cali, Mr. Hempel, Mrs. Iacono, Dr. Masters, Mr. Moyano, and Mr. Zimmerman. Your dedication to our students, families, and staff is valued and appreciated. Thank you for all you do for our school community!

On Friday April 19, KHS students visited the Pequest Trout Hatchery in Oxford, NJ. Students toured the facility, learned about the rainbow trout that are raised on site and then stocked in public waters across the state. In addition to a tour of the facility, raceways (concrete holding tanks) and nursery, students learned how to cast and fish on site at the hatchery’s educational pond. Students learned about fishing, forestry and natural resources and it was an educational and recreational fun day!
The SAVE Club at KHS is doing their part for Action for Earth NJ, this week and every week, by participating in Earth-friendly activities, demonstrating that little changes can yield big results. These dedicated students work on two certified wildlife gardens, participate in composting, are engaged in Project Feeder Watch, which entails observing bird feeders and tracking bird species data into the Cornell Labs website, complete cleanups on the sidewalks of the high school perimeter, and started worm farming this week. 🐤🌳🌎
