Note from the Principal-
March is marching by pretty quick. NJSLA tutoring is underway and students are enjoying Camp Zumba learning sounds and words during a great workout. Our International Diversity Day was a huge success over 250 people attended and everyone enjoyed sampling new foods from different cultures. We are looking forward to the first day of spring. Hopefully, snow days are behind us and we are waiting to see all the flowers bloom.
All the best,
Ms. Mazzola
