Did you know that San Francisco 49ers star running back, Christian McCaffrey's grandfather, Dave Sime, graduated from our high school, class of ‘54? Aside from being a Hall of Fame honoree at Fair Lawn High School and Duke University and an Olympic medalist, Sime was also a world-renowned eye surgeon.

Congratulations to 7th grader Jonathan Markovich on winning this year's Thomas Jefferson Middle School Geography Bee! Impressive final round by all!
Students in Ms. Kathy Straubel's AP biology classes at FLHS are participating in the Rutgers University Waksman Student Scholars program. This program provides an opportunity for the students to conduct an authentic research project in molecular biology and bioinformatics and publish their findings. Here students are micropipeting solutions to set up their bacterial culture. Through this project students will learn skills including micropipeting, PCR, gel electrophoresis and restriction digestion in order to identify the protein being coded for by a gene. They will then analyze the DNA sequence in order to determine characteristics of the protein including structure, function and interactions. If successful they will be published on the NCBI database.
As part of the Advanced Wood Tech at FLHS, classes students are required to do a shop or school improvement project. Senior, Brandon Cauwels was happy to help refresh the 3rd podium and the FLHS logo.
Thank you to Thermofisher Scientific in Fair Lawn for welcoming the FLHS STEM Club, advised by Ms. Ryder, for a tour of their plant. Students visited the quality control lab and learned about the supply chain process.
In conjunction with the Super Bowl & our Character Education program, Milnes School collected 500 cans of soup to donate to the Fair Lawn’s Food Pantry. We had designated bins where students placed their donated soup cans to vote for certain teachers. Ms. McCarthy had the most soup cans donated in her bin. As a special treat, some students (and Mrs. Primavera!) sprayed silly string at Ms. McCarthy!
Happy Lunar New Year to our families! Wishing you a fantastic Year of the Dragon filled with joy, prosperity, and good health.
新年快乐 Xīnnián kuàilè
All our best,
Memorial Administration and Staff
In recognition of School Board Member Appreciation Month, the Fair Lawn Public Schools would like to recognize the members of our Board of Education—and provide an opportunity for our community to learn more about them. Between our nine members, they have volunteered a combined 71 years for our students!
Members of the science department attended the Live Wires meeting at the senior center and shared examples of our science lab activities including coding/robotics, circuits, microscopes and data analysis. Thanks Ms Lindsey, Mr Hahn and Mr Durso!
