Latinos Unidos was a success. Thank you to Mrs. Wahba, our staff, and students for working with the NJEA Latino Institute to encourage families to be involved in their childrenās education, enhance their academic progress, and feel welcome in our schools.
Mrs. Caporale welcomed classes into the library for World Read Aloud Day. During period 4, she read aloud "This Is A School" by John Schu, and then students in the Teachers of Tomorrow class read aloud with the Life Skills class.
Van DerVeer started World Read Aloud Day (WRAD) today by welcoming Rebecca Gardyn Levington for a virtual author visit! She read her book "Whatever Tomorrow Brings" and then answered some questions about her life as an author.
Last week engineering students shared their knowledge and creative creations at the mid-year engineering showcase. Some of the fantastic senior projects included a chick box with automatic water and food feeder, a puzzle desk, an adaption to a ukulele to make it accessible for someone with different physical needs, a soap and water purifying system, an electric skateboard, a foil sailboat, automatic blinds, a hockey self passer, and a bluetooth tracking device.
The Somerville High School robotics team, Gearheads 102, hosted a seasonal kickoff on January 7th. Four local teams met at SHS to launch this year's FIRST Robotics Competition.
Thank you Patti Helwig for 25 year of service
A big thank you to the @SomervilleNJPTO for organizing a celebration of Dr. MLK Jr. Day of Service. VDV students designed placemats and wrote letters while SMS packaged personal hygiene items. Everything was donated to S.H.I.P. (Samaritan Homeless Interim Program).
VDV students are spreading kindness. The OT students are creating kindness clips to spread a message of kindness. They are secretly clipping them on a peer's backpack, jacket, paper, folder etc. to help share some random kindness around the school.
How are you feeling going into the weekend? (Seen at VDV) #allin4theville
