Lights, Camera... Dash and Splash!
Today, select members of our Ben Franklin team participated in SONJ Turkey Dash & Splash. We raised over 2K for Special Olympics!
Lights, Camera... Veterans! BEN Bolts honored our veterans with our walk of remembrance and veterans came to our school to visit our BEN Bolts. They visited our classrooms and shared their stories with our young learners and were welcomed with cards, smiles, and kind words! And on behalf of the entire BEN BOLT community, we thank ALL veterans for their service!
Progress is in full swing, and while it’s a construction zone now, it’s shaping up to be a stage worthy of standing ovations. Stay tuned!

Congratulations to all our ESA students participating and presenting their Mini Exhibitions today. A variety of topics were researched and discussed, from mental health to relationship perspectives. Each presentation included an annotated bibliography supporting their self-directed, interest-based, research topic as well as additional aspects to their presentation. A huge thank you to all the families and district staff members who attended, asking questions of the presenters and giving meaningful feedback to students.
Thank you to DMR Architects, Nikole Marin and Michael Pikowski, for sharing your career paths as well as various opportunities in the field of architecture.
Today, over 500 flags danced in the wind, each one symbolizing and honoring the sacrifices of disabled veterans in New Jersey. The students and staff at John P. Stevens High School have truly showcased the power of unity and respect with their incredible Field of Flags tribute.
Thank you to everyone who made this possible, especially Marine Corps Veteran and Assistant Principal Mr. Robinson, for your service and dedication to this national initiative's raising of critical funds.

Yesterday, ETPS celebrated incredible advancements at Thomas Jefferson and Herbert Hoover Middle Schools! 🏫✨ These milestones are a testament to our commitment to creating brighter spaces for learning and growth.

Proud to share a moment of dedication and teamwork from our students, Mr. Joseph Teller, our night-time lead custodian, Mr. Pierce, and Mr. Robinson, our event organizer. Despite freezing temperatures and ground as hard as rock, this incredible group found innovative ways to plant over 500 flags for our upcoming Field of Flags celebration on Thursday.
Their commitment and resilience reflect the values that make our community strong. This project honors and respects, not just those who serve, but the spirit of collaboration and perseverance within our own team.
Thank you to everyone involved for showing what’s possible when we work together!
