I am thrilled to announce and congratulate our newest members of the Cedar Grove High School Chapter of the National Honor Society! Their induction recognizes their outstanding achievements in Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. We are incredibly proud of their dedication and look forward to their continued positive impact on our school and community. Congratulations to these exceptional students!

It is with great pleasure that I also recognize the outstanding students recently inducted into our school's specialized honor societies: Business, Italian, Math, Music, Science, Social Studies, and Spanish. This significant achievement celebrates their dedication, hard work, and passion within these specific disciplines. Congratulations to all our inductees!

Thank you to the amazing team behind today's Bring Your Child to Work Day: Ms. Levy, the tomorrow's teachers' class, and our fantastic peer leaders! Their dedication provided a wonderful opportunity for our children to learn and connect with our workplace. We truly appreciate their efforts in making it such a positive experience.

To build excitement for the upcoming pep rally, the All School Council organized a school-wide "Ro sham bo" (rock, paper, scissors) competition where students could win beads. The student with the most beads wins a gift card!

A huge thank you to Ms. Jessen and Mr. Savino for organizing today's beautiful spring music concert preview. We were treated to wonderful performances by the orchestra, choir, and band. Their musical talents truly shone!

Our students had an absolute blast at the spring pep rally. Flag football was the favorite this year...congratulations seniors on taking home the trophy! Thank you to Ms. McCarthy and Mr. Leonard for organizing this amazing day that brought so much joy and school spirit.

Mrs. Guerriero's and Mrs. Piccoli's classes from North End Elementary came to visit Mrs. Park's Class on 4/16. They came with their wallets and play money to purchase fun items on our cart. It was a fun time for all who participated.
