After reading the novel, Becoming Muhammad Ali, by James Patterson and Kwame Alexander, Mrs. Kelley's reading classes pulled figurative language from the novel and brought them to life through painting on a canvas!

Thank you to the parent and staff volunteers for turning our cafeteria into the Forrest School Bistro for the grade 2 Manners Monday program. The students were served a 5- course meal while learning dining etiquette and table manners.
FLHS welcomed Chris Singleton to speak to us today. We will never forget his words, and we are taking a stand against hate and for LOVE. Thank you, Chris!

Eighth graders at Memorial visited the Holocaust Museum & Center for Tolerance and Education at Rockland Community College for a day of learning and reflection. A special thank you to Mr. Khoudja for organizing such a wonderful experience, and Ms. Lipke for hosting our students and providing a personalized tour of the museum. Students also participated in an outstanding Moral Courage workshop, led by Ms. Suss, which challenged our students to ask themselves, "What would you do?" and to "Become a Truth Seeker".
We look forward to returning again next week with another group of Memorial 8th grade students.
Congratulations to the cast and crew of this year's TJMS production of Beauty and the Beast! Check out more pictures in the spotlight section on the TJMS website.
Bergen County Prosecutor, Mark Musella visited Radburn School during our D.E.A.R. Time (Drop Everything And Read) celebrating Read Across America. He answered questions and shared an inspiring story with our third graders about always trying your best.
Our Milnes PTA hosted a Winter Family Fun Night with activities such as skating, dancing, and enjoying yummy treats. There was a DJ with music and the students all had blast! Thank you Milnes families for supporting your PTA. They continue to bring fun activities for all of us.
Read Across America Week concluded at Westmoreland, Lyncrest and Forrest Elementary Schools with special, alumni guest readers from Memorial Middle School. It was nice to see so many students who have "moved up"- coming back to volunteer their time at their elementary schools. Thank you to the Junior National Honor Society Advisors at Memorial Middle School for organizing this annual reading event!
Milnes ended Read Across America week with our One School, One Book reveal. Kate Nafz, the Fair Lawn Children's Librarian, came dressed the part and even read a bit of the first chapter of Beverly Cleary's - The Mouse and the Motorcycle.
NJSIAA Girls State Wrestling - Dalia Tsyrlin becomes the first girl to place in the state for the program.
She came into the tournament as the second to last seed and ended up placing 5th. Her only two losses came from the returning state finalist.
