Fair Lawn Public Schools

FLHS’s Band and Orchestra program visited the @nyphil NY Philharmonic Orchestra. Had a private tour of historical artifacts and watched a live performance by world famous piano player, Sir Andras Schiff! Inspired for our concerts at FLHS in May!

On Tuesday, Forrest School students celebrated Eid al-Fatr (the end of Ramadan) with a whole school assembly. During the celebration, 7 students presented what the holiday means to the Muslim community and how each of their families recognize the holiday. In addition students viewed two videos and ended the festivities with a school-wide song led by Mrs. Knitel. Thank you to the Forrest Equity Team for creating such a fun learning experience for our students.

Thanks to @fairlawnlibrary for hosting a very special Holocaust Remembrance event, "Anti-Semitism, Then & Now," created by the FL Community Relations Advisory Committee in Partnership with @FairLawnSchools. We remember, we must never forget, so that Hate Has No Home in Fair Lawn!

On Thursday, April 20th, members of the TJMS Student Council and Celebrate America Club participated in a schoolwide clean up outside in honor of Earth Day. Thank you for your hard work and raising awareness of the need to protect Earth’s natural resources for future generations. Great Job!

Our 1st grade students had so much fun at their first Manners Monday. Thank you to our parent volunteers for helping to make this such a memorable event for our students.

MEVO (https://www.mevo.org/) Mahwah Environmental Volunteer Organization visited Radburn School today to teach students about honeybees and their importance to our world just in time for EARTH DAY!

Lyncrest recognized Children with Alopecia Day! Madison is a sports-loving, super smiley third grader at Lyncrest. She loves to run track, play soccer and basketball, and her favorite color is rainbow. Something else that makes Maddie unique is that she has Alopecia Areata, a condition that causes her body to fight her hair follicles. Our PJ Day today raised over $600 and Popsicle Sale raised over $275, which will be donated in support of Maddie to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation. Here at Lyncrest, we respect and appreciate all of our differences. We are the Lyncrest Stars, each one of us is truly unique! For more information visit: https://www.naaf.org/

Mr. Norcia and Radburn fourth graders greet Charlie, the therapy dog. Charlie stopped by Radburn School on Friday to meet with students. He brought many smiles to the faces of all he met!

Milnes held their annual Field Day event today and we couldn't have asked for better weather. Students were able to showcase their abilities in various activities such as stacking, throwing, running and so much more! We cooled off with ice pops donated by our wonderful PTA.

During Thursday's induction ceremony, sixteen students were welcomed as the newest members of the Memorial Middle School Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society. Congratulations, students and families, on this tremendous honor.

The beautification of the Forrest School grounds is in full effect thanks to our amazing Building and Grounds Department. We are in the process of replacing many of our older bushes and flowers with new shrubs and perennial plants.

In honor of Autism Acceptance Month, Westmoreland School was honored to host Ms. Melissa Petrillo, author of the children's book "Sometimes". Ms. Petrillo's powerful message, "inclusion starts with me", provided the perfect lesson to coincide with our monthly focus. Thank you to the Westmoreland PTO for sponsoring this experience for our students!

Congrats to FLHS senior Rebecca Peisach! Rebecca was recognized as a 2023 "Unsung Hero" by the Bergen County School Boards Association. Rebecca was honored alongside other county students who make their school a better place simply by being in it. We are proud of you, Rebecca!

Memorial students and staff once again answered the school's motto, "Enter to Learn, Go Forth to Serve" as they competed in the Penny Power challenge. Students and staff participated to see which homeroom could collect the most pennies. Congratulations to Mrs. Eckel's 7th grade homeroom who collected over $240 in pennies! When the pennies from all homerooms were combined, Memorial was able to generously donate $1,238 to Adopt-a-Soldier Platoon. Mrs. Krutchkoff visited Memorial on Friday during the annual Hoops for Humanity event to accept the donation on behalf of all the volunteers at Adopt-a-Soldier Platoon. Well done, Memorial Falcons!

And the winner for Milnes Munch Madness is......... CHIPS! Milnes School collected over 208 snacks to donate to the Fair Lawn Food Pantry after a contest between chips, goldfish, pretzels, and fruit snacks. We thank our students and families for their continued support!
