Dear Parents and Guardians,

Good afternoon! We had another fun filled week packed with events and activities here at JK! Below are the highlights:

1. On Tuesday, our 8th grade students were treated to a wonderful Career Fair in the JK Gymnasium. Professionals from all over the state joined us and shared with our students their interesting and challenging occupations. Thank you to all the presenters as well as Mrs. Eichert, and Mrs. Bottiglieri for all their work organizing this great event!
2. On Wednesday, we celebrated our very own resident chef, Calvin Corrigan as Pomptonian Food Services, and our amazing cafeteria staff served Calvin's award winning dish, "A Berry Spudtacular Brunch." We were honored to be joined by Calvin's family as well as members of the press, and representatives from Pomptonian as Calvin was honored for winning the Pomptonian Food Services create a lunch challenge. Congratulations Calvin!
3. On Thursday, we honored our JK KNIGHTS of the MONTH at our monthly Knights of the Month breakfast! Our April winners represent wonderful examples of our core values of CARES and excellent academic focus deep into the year! Congratulations to the April KNights of the Month!
4. We also honored our very own Mrs. Carli Collins on Thursday afternoon as she was named our Joyce Kilmer Teacher of the Year! Congratulations to Mrs. Collins, a grade level leader who puts the needs and goals of her students first, while always seeking to improve her skill set for the betterment of her students. 
5. NJSLA state testing begins this coming Monday. We look forward to the students showing off their skills and putting their minds to the test on this assessment. Please be reminded that all electronic devices (phones, apple watches, etc.) are prohibited as they typically are during the school day. Test security is a charge teachers and staff are responsible for, and cooperation in this regard is imperative. 

We hope you all have a wonderful weekend with family and friends! Our focus as we end April and we begin the month of May, is on the abundance of positive happenings and blessings that are all around us each and every day! Things will only get more and more busy, but we're ready and excited!

Have a great weekend!
Mr. Veit
