Lunar New Year at Radburn School! Year of the Rabbit. #RadburnRocks
On Thursday, January 26, the Supervisor of School Counseling and Student Wellness, Mrs. Gupta, kicked off an assembly at Memorial. The Fair Lawn High School Guidance Department teamed up with Memorial’s guidance counselors to present to our 8th grade students about high school requirements, upcoming high school scheduling, and all the exciting programs and clubs available to them next year at FLHS. Go Cutters!!
Memorial Middle School continues to celebrate and honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with the construction of our Dream Towers as we continue our “Do Something Challenge”. Students and staff used this opportunity to have meaningful conversations and to reflect on what it means to drive positive change through the power of connection. We have already received hundreds of clouds, with each cloud representing the dream of a Memorial student or staff member, and more clouds are still being added.
Congrats to our FLHS CUTTERS Basketball teams! Both won their county tournament games yesterday! Our girls won at Ramsey and our boys beat Rutherford on our home court. Good luck in the next round! Go Cutters!
Thank you to Thermo Fisher Scientific, our Fair Lawn neighbors, for spending six days leading inspirational science experiments with our Fair Lawn fourth graders. Our students had the chance to see themselves as scientists!
Students in our middle school Innovations Lab class work on a STEM engineering and design project.
We would like to thank all of the volunteers from ThermoFisher for visiting Westmoreland School. Our 4th grade students were absolutely captivated by the demonstrations, experiments and hands-on, strawberry DNA extraction. Thank you to Ron Durso and Lindsey Zarwi for developing this community partnership and bringing this experience to our students!
