As the AP Psychology classes are preparing for their exam, several high schools came together for a Psychology Review Exam Symposium: Cranford, Cedar Grove, Glenrock, & Columbia. It was a day filled with AAQ's, EBQ's, practice tests, and lots of expert advice. Several of our CGHS students went and Ms. Minelli was one of the presenters.

The Psychology Club is looking for donations of non-perishable foods, canvas bags, and gently used stuffed animals and blankets. We will be using these items to create bags for children at St. Joes Hospital and at The Oasis Shelter in Paterson. Additionally, we will be donating "meals for a day" to our local food pantry and Tony's Kitchen in Montclair. Please see the attached fliers and contribute what you can. We can embody and grow our gratitude by giving to others!
