Livingston Avenue School

Each November we like to focus on gratitude here at Livingston Avenue School. Each week we talk about what we all have to be grateful for. The students will be writing messages of gratitude to their classmates. We will also have a table set up in the main hallway for each staff member. Please consider taking a moment to write out a card, a note or send an email to any staff member of your choosing this month. The more the better! Encourage your child(ren) to take a moment to write a note or card for their teacher or any adult at LAS that they are grateful for. Taking the time to thank your neighbors and other members of the community will go a long way as well. Let us all practice the attitude of gratitude this month! I know I am grateful to get to work with such amazing students, staff, and families each day.

This month’s November 2026 Culture and Climate Corner highlights how gratitude supports social-emotional learning by strengthening relationships, building meaningful connections, and fostering a caring and supportive school community. Families are encouraged to explore the reflection questions and connect everyday expressions of gratitude to our district’s Full Value principles to help put gratitude into action!

The New Jersey Department of Education strives to recognize educators who have gone above and beyond in their service to New Jersey’s students. Now, more than ever before, is the time to celebrate New Jersey’s outstanding educators. Therefore, Livingston Avenue School encourages you to nominate a LAS teacher or educational professional to be recognized through the Governor’s Educator of the Year program to honor the hardworking teachers and educational services professionals for their dedication to their students and the profession. Please complete the nomination form here.

Our retakes will take place on November 17th in the morning. Please complete this form to let us know in advance if your child will be participating.

“Pasta with a Purpose!”

We invite families across the district, K-12, on November 12th from 6pm - 8pm to our District Family Academy Wellness Fair, bringing together local organizations and Cranford representatives to share resources and promote community well-being.

This event is coupled with the CHS Pasta Night for a fun evening of food, music, and community! Support the Class of 2027 Senior Prom as CHS students serve up delicious pasta, accompanied by music from the CHS Jazz Band.

Come hungry, leave inspired! We hope you will join us to “dine and discover” the resources, connections, and community that help our Cranford Cougars thrive! ** No RSVP Needed **
