HELPING HANDS & GROWING MINDS MIDDLE SCHOOL MUSIC & ART EXHIBITION

Our students who are a part of NJHS have been doing a wonderful job assisting young learners. During academic support hours NJHS students have been volunteering to help students work on their skills. One of our kindergarten teachers, Ms. Puliafico, said, “It is so amazing to see such a positive interaction between students. My students look up to and admire the NJHS students who come to help them with their work. The NJHS students show great passion when working with young students.” Similarity, in our middle school section, NJHS students are beyond excited to be a part of the learning experience for our lower school students. On a weekly basis, the middle school team meets to discuss progress in the school and teachers are always adding new tutors to our lower school-middle school tutoring program. In Middle School, we love seeing our students step into the role of educator. They get to see firsthand what it feels like to make a difference in a student’s life. They realize that their efforts are deeply appreciated and necessary. Apart from the growth that both lower and middle school students gain, we love strengthening the bond between lower school and middle school. This program is also helping NJHS students learn a new sense of responsibility and respect for others.

The annual signature event was organized by the Fine Arts Department. Selected students of various ages from the Lower and Upper School collaborated and inspired each other to make this possible. Musicians narrated the music pieces and fueled painters with inspiration that outpoured on their canvas. Each class had the opportunity to observe the artistic process up close. The Winter Exhibition produces a great amount of artistic material that not only echoes through the building the day of the showing, but the art pieces become a permanent part of the school and are appreciated by the whole community for months to come.

Back To School Night

e strongly believe that to be successful, our kids need support from both at home and school. When parents and educators work together, they are an unbeatable team.

Our Back-to-School Night was a productive and informative event for our parents and guardians. Watching our parents, both new and returning, wander the same halls that their children do was exciting. They also met with other parents, learned more about our academic offerings and programs, and prepared for

Wthe year ahead.

Back-to-School-night was a wonderful opportunity for guardians to know our beloved teachers and learn about their child’s classrooms and courses.

Teachers, on the other hand, had the opportunity to provide an overview of their classes, share the major goals and objectives for the year, highlight major assignments/projects, review grading and share contact information with the parents.

We are proud to say that it was a very productive and beneficial event for all parents and faculty.
