West Belmar

On Friday May 3rd, West Belmar School participated in "Kids Heart Challenge!" The entire school was involved in a 45-minute cardiovascular jump rope activity. The funds raised will be donated to the American Heart Association, which support life saving research and educational programs. Our school set a record raising over $13,000.00 for the American Heart Association. Amazing job, West Belmar School Community!

The kindergarten and first grade celebrated their moms with special Mother’s Day Teas.

Dr. Handerhan visited our students to hear how wonderfully they read!

THE TIME IS NOW teaches that being vulnerable and facing our fears allows us to reach new goals and dreams. When we analyze the effects our emotions have on our actions, we determine how to best get into the zone before acting. This also allow us to embrace every moment and find the joy in every interaction we have.

4 Key Components in this Mindset include:

• Embrace Every Moment
• Get in The Zone
• Let Yourself be Vulnerable
• Act with Purpose
