8th Grade Language Arts Ceremony of 12
Welcome to Mrs. Wassong's 8th-grade Language Arts ceremony of twelve. At the ceremony, the students honored their differences and had their future determined by the Chief Elder. Community members received their "assignments" and reflected on their new career paths. If dissatisfied with their assignment, they could apply for a job change. Karizma was named our community Receiver, an honored position that requires great courage.
SMS Basketball Knockout Tournament
Secaucus Middle School Students and Staff squared off in a school-wide basketball knock out tournament. The students had a great time playing against their teachers and middle school staff members. Thank you to everyone who helped out during the school-wide event especially our physical education teachers and custodians that helped set up the basketball nets and bleachers.
