A group of math and science teachers, along with the math and science supervisors met with representatives from TEQ to explore various options to enhance our coding program 5-12.

On June 19th, select student leaders were invited to engage in a Juneteenth field trip. Students traveled to three different locations: the African Art Museum of the SMA, the Morris County Courthouse, and the Gethsemane Cemetery. Students actively learned about their community's history and cultivated a greater appreciation for African American culture.

Fair Lawn High School celebrated and commemorate Juneteenth with a day filled with focused workshops. Some of our highlights were a music concert, a Juneteenth museum hosted by the FLHS Bridges classroom, a Juneteenth escape room, a school wide art project, and a Juneteenth Walk-a-Thon where students took 1,865 steps for freedom. In addition, our childcare and selected Interact students visited 2 of our elementary schools to read aloud a book and donated Juneteenth books to all the elementary libraries.

Congratulations the the FLHS Class of 2023!!!! We wish you the best of luck and you are now officially, "......the leaders of tomorrow!""
