Washington School would like to congratulate our October Student of the Month recipients! Great job! 👏🏽
Washington School hosted their annual Pumpkin Contest. We are always so astounded by how creative our students and families are! The contest is a favorite of ours because it brings such joy and excitement to the students and staff all week. Check out the pumpkin entries & winners. We like to say although everyone didn't win a prize, they're all true winners for brightening up the hallway with this fun school wide activity!
Washington School students in Mr. Burzynski's music class from this week learned about the Theremin, one of the first electronic musical instruments, invented about 100 years ago. The Theremin is most famous for providing other-worldly sound effects for science fiction movies, so students experimented with the theremin after singing with the picture book “The Aliens Are Coming!”
Thank you @washingtonptakearny for our Haunted Hallway event! Also, huge thank you to Mr. Hempel for DJing our event. The Washington students & families had a blast! 🎃 👻 🕸️
It’s cool to be kind at Washington! Check out some of latest Caught Being Kind students. They received a shout out & 5 School Bucks to spend in our School Store for their kindness!
Washington School is celebrating 6 years since creating our School Store! The School Store is a great incentive program and allows all staff members to give out School Bucks for a variety of reasons (kind acts, academic achievements, etc). We utilize the store to also teach students the value of a job. The 5th & 6th graders apply and work in the store and even receive a “paycheck”. Check out some of our classes shopping for the first time this school year. Thank you to Laura Hempel for decorating our School Store to celebrate our 6th year!
Washington School participated in Leukemia awareness by wearing purple, lime, or orange in remembrance of a fellow Kearny teacher, Mrs. Amanda Labruna. Thank you to Mrs. Bonaldi for organizing the event at our school! 💚🧡💜
