A Message From Principal Abeal
Dear West Belmar Families,
February is in full swing, bringing exciting events and meaningful experiences for our students. Our Student Council is putting their hard work to good use by harvesting fresh lettuce from our aquaponic system to prepare a special luncheon for the Pride of Wall senior citizens group. Their event, “Lettuce” Treat You to Lunch, is a wonderful way for our students to give back to the community while showcasing their dedication to sustainability and service.
The first week in March will began with West Belmar’s Read Across America celebration, where students engaged in daily theme days featuring beloved Dr. Seuss books. This annual tradition fosters a love of reading and literacy, made even more special by guest readers and fun activities throughout the week.
Looking ahead, we are excited for the PTA’s annual Gift Auction on Friday, March 14. This cherished event is always a highlight of the year, bringing our community together in support of our school.
Thank you for your continued support in making these events successful. We appreciate all you do to help our students grow, learn, and give back.
Save the Date!
