Choir Accomplishments

New Jersey All-State Mixed Chorus

Congratulations to Leticia Aguilar and Madison Strauss went to rehearse and perform in Atlantic City this weekend with the NJ All-State Mixed Chorus. Auditions are highly selective as students compete with all other NJ high schools. Next week they will be performing at NJPAC!

Community Classroom

As part of our Community Classroom Initiative, our 11th-grade English students recently welcomed Lambertville Mayor Andrew Nowick for a special classroom discussion about the concept of the Social Contract and its role in government and society. 

Mayor Nowick helped students connect what they are learning in the classroom to real-world examples of how government and citizens work together. The discussion explored the responsibilities individuals have to their communities, the role of government in serving its citizens, and the importance of civic engagement.
Our Community Classroom Initiative focuses on connecting classroom learning with the people, businesses, organizations, and resources within our local community. By bringing community members into our schools and providing students with authentic, real-world learning experiences, we are helping students better understand how what they learn in school applies to the world around them.

A special thank you to Mayor Nowick for taking the time to engage with our students and share his perspective on local government and civic responsibility!

Lambertville Parks and Recreation

On Thursday, October 23, members of the Key Club joined Lambertville Parks and Recreation and the Sourland Conservancy to work on cutting down and pulling out the invasive Angelica tree.  They also worked at planting some native species in the cleared out areas as well as protecting some native species already present that needed protection from deer browse.  

The students were given invaluable information about the benefits of planting native species, what the detriments of invasive species are as well as how important it is to be forest stewards in our area in order to protect against water runoff and flooding.  Everyone enjoyed a day of beautiful weather, meaningful work and life lessons.

Eagles Insider

Hosted by Truett Loesch, this week's episode features thankfulness, Peer Leaders, Veterans Day, recycling tips and a pretend product invented by a TV student.
