Washington Township Schools

Thank you, LVMS Robotics Club, for stopping by this morning to share your Rubik's Cube solving robot! IMPRESSIVE coding!

We are looking to fill several Substitute School Bus Driver positions. This is a perfect job for a part-time school employee, semi-retired person, a college student, a parent, or someone needing a little extra cash – who can work mornings, afternoons or both. Training will be provided to the right person to obtain a CDL-B school bus driver's license. Training classes are held throughout the year. The job is a non-contracted substitute position with the Washington Township Schools mainly driving students to/from school, with field and athletic trips available. If desired, the possibility exists to eventually move into a contracted driving position where benefits may be available. If you, or someone that you know, is interested, please contact the transportation department for more information or apply through the employment section of our schools website, www.wtschools.org, and fill out the application for Substitute School Bus Driver.

The STEM Expo was a success! We featured graphing and pie charts to track weather patterns in Google Sheets and a cooperative board game created by the Kindergarten students to explore weather patterns and the needs of people using the data from daily weather reports. 💻 ☁🌡

In celebration of Women’s History Month, Mrs. Molkenthin's 2nd Grade students wrote about their Sheroes! Their Sheroes included moms, teachers, sisters, aunts, coaches... The kids were so excited to write letters, create awards, & illustrate pictures to present to their Shero!

Check out our very own OFRS Future Chef! Students created culinary creations with their favorite fruit or vegetable dish. Students learned about nutrition, healthy food choices, cooking presentation and math skills in this fun competition. 🥦👩‍🍳🍽

LVMS students got to enjoy the StarLab from Raritan Valley Community College Science Education Institute. The StarLab is a portable planetarium that recreates the sky from any time or place on Earth. Thank you to Mr. Ferrante for organizing and setting up!

Congratulations to the LVMS Modern Dance Company for three successful performances this week!

March is Youth Art Month! Mrs. Clark and Mr. Mita are proud to showcase some of our student's creative artwork at the Washington Township Public Library.

Congratulations to Mrs. Bohrer and the LVMS Destination Imagination Teams! The teams competed at the NJ Destination Imagination State Tournament in the Engineering Challenge and finished FIRST!

Our 4th and 5th grade engineers from Mrs. Van Houten’s and Mrs. Richardson & Mrs. Leonard’s classes completed various STEM activities for this year’s Pi Day. Fifth graders took on the role of mentor, guiding fourth graders in how to round decimals, determine diameter and circumference, and take on visual challenges. To celebrate Pi Day, they selected four lucky winners from a raffle to receive a special Pi Day t-shirt, after correctly rounding the decimal numbers to 3.14. Thank you, Mrs. Van Houten, Mrs. Richardson, and Mrs. Leonard for creating this wonderful and memorable activity.

Cucinella School was fortunate to have a visit from Sgt. Matthew Bergen from the New Jersey State Police, who is also a Cucinella parent. He treated our students to the wonderful sounds of the bagpipes on this special St. Patrick’s Day activity. Thank you, Sgt. Bergen, for sharing your talents with us!

Our students worked hard on leprechaun traps, but the Cucinella Leprechaun caused much mischief and shenanigans in the classrooms. We will have to try again next year!

So excited to Welcome the West Morris Central Robotics Club to our District STEM Expo! #NJSTEMMONTH
