I was happy to visit our CSI Program to celebrate Halloween. They decorated the house, made tacos, and competed in games with alumni and friends! This program teaches workplace readiness, life skills, and community service.

The work to our fields is now complete to allow our grass to grow in. Maintenance also included leveling holes, adding top soil, and improving the outfield for next spring.

The new drainage at the high school is complete and should help our drainage significantly, preventing water puddle from forming for drop off and pick up.

Dr. Hughes won the math fact challenge today. He almost lost to our elementary students at Merritt School though. They are super fast!

Some great protections are being put into place as we fix our front drainage and install new flood barriers. This will work to greatly enhance the protection of our high school from any threats of water.

We are so excited that our Director of Special Education, Dr. Janelle Amato, is representing Cresskill as she speaks to school board members from across the state at the NJSBA conference in Atlantic City. @njsba

Thank you to the 55 participants that began the work towards creating a five year strategic plan for our schools. Students, staff, parents, and BOE members all lent their expertise to the process. We are excited to realize our collective vision that we make together!

Congratulations to our Debate Team for representing CHS with integrity, intelligence, and teamwork! Excellence!
