In Technology class at EMK, our coding and robotics unit is in full swing! All students are learning what coding is, how we sequence code, and how to debug their code. Second graders have been working to learn how Ozobots follow lines and how we have to make the lines just right. They will soon be exploring coding the Ozobot with color patterns. First grade students began exploring coding with Botley while using a remote. Kindergarten students will soon be introduced to BeeBot, a codable bee.
Mrs. Pukel's second-grade class wondered if the groundhog will see his shadow?

Congratulations to the HHS winners from the 2025 NJ Thespian Festival. Each of these students earned a superior score by the judges of their respective categories, and are all eligible to compete at the International Thespian Festival at Indiana University in June. Additionally, for the fifth time in the past few years, we also have two students chosen as HHS representatives to the State Thespian Board, who worked to make sure the festival was a complete success for all students participating. Congratulations to all of our talented students!
