Today, Friday, May 28, the live electronic band D-Numbers will be holding a concert/workshop in the auditorium during A and B periods.

For those students who have watched the new HBO mini-series The Pacific, the characters and the violent battles of World War II are graphic and realistic. But even more vivid are the stories of the men who actually served in those campaigns, more than a hundred of whom will be coming here tomorrow, Thursday, May 27, for the annual pre-Memorial Day veterans assembly.
The assembly will run from 10:30-12:30, but according to Social Studies Department Chair Richard Webb, it may run a little longer. “This is probably going to the longest assembly yet, so we may be excusing kids from 10-1,” Mr. Webb said.
On Tuesday, May 25, over 100 students in Physics classes went to Six Flags in Jackson, New Jersey for an all-day field trip to explore the science in roller coasters and to enjoy a day in the park.
