April is recognized as the Month of the Military Child, a time to honor the strength, resilience, and sacrifices of children in military families. These students often face unique challenges, including frequent moves and long separations from loved ones, all while continuing to thrive in their schools and communities.

To show our support, we “Purpled Up” on April 15th—wearing purple to represent all branches of the military and to stand in solidarity with our military-connected students. We also invite military children to stop by our table during Opportunity Period, the week of April 20th, to pick up a small treat and enter a raffle as a token of our appreciation.

We are proud to recognize and celebrate the important role military children play in our community!

This application for the athletic fields has both a pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicide. By law we must provide 72 hours' notice prior to an application, therefore, this notice must be sent no later than April 15, 2026 as the first application date is April 18th (weather permitting) to all staff and students/parents/guardians as this constitutes the legal notice requirements for NJ and federal laws.

Senior Trip will be here before we know it! This year’s trip to Disney World costs about $2000. In order to help lighten the load of the scheduled payments beginning next September, we are allowing you the opportunity to make pre-payments now through August 2026. Pre-payments in any amount can be made at any time via cash, check (payable to “NBC Class of 2027”), or now credit card and will go towards your trip balance. Any pre-payments will come off your final scheduled payments next year. Any student wishing to go on the trip will still be required to make the first payment in September, no matter how much they have prepaid. If you make pre-payments and your student decides not to go, we can give you a full refund in September. If your student

decides not to go on the trip after September, they may only receive a partial refund. Cash and check payments can be brought to Mrs. Duff in room 406. Credit card payments can be made online by clicking the button below.

April is stress awareness month. The definition of stress is how your brain and body responds to changes and challenges. Stress serves a purpose by helping us be alert and aware of danger, but too much can definitely be harmful. Here are some signs you might be stressed:

• Headaches, stomachaches, racing heart

• Difficulty sleeping or having nightmares

• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

• Worsening of chronic and mental health decisions

• Changes in appetite, energy, or interests

Here are some healthy ways to manage stress:

• Nutrition plays a big role, so try and eat healthy

• Connect with others, this helps us get out of worry mode

• Talk to a doctor or mental health professional

• Try and do something fun

• Spend time with a pet if you have one

• Help someone else/volunteer
