This past month, 7th and 8th grade science students participated in March Mammal Madness! This tournament was inspired by the NCAA college basketball tournament and has been organized and run by Arizona State University every year since 2013. The tournament aims to answer the question. "Which mammal would win in a battle?"
Students were assigned one of 65 contenders to research and hype up to their peers. They then did a gallery walk of everyone’s hype posters to get informed and pick their brackets. For a few weeks, classes enjoyed entertaining battle recap videos provided by ASU which gave the battle highlights and allowed students to update their brackets.
In the end, the Great White Shark took the championship after battling the Giant Squid. There were some great victories, some shocking upsets, and a lot of laughs. The tournament was enjoyed by all.
Congratulations to our LVMS bracket champs
8-1 Winner and overall point champ - Caitlyn Andolina
8-2 Winner Raima Bera
8-3 Winner Jackson Lipski
7th grade Winner Lukas Cioccia

The New Jersey Department of Education encourages school districts to participate in "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" activities by giving children credit for school attendance even though they are “working” alongside their parents on this special day. In previous years, the day has been a success due to the cooperative efforts of thousands of parents, schools, businesses, organizations and other concerned individuals who demonstrated their interest in children's education and participation in the workforce.
In order for our district to maintain accurate attendance records and account for all students we are asking for your cooperation. If your family will be participating in "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" on Thursday, April 25, 2024, please update your child’s attendance in Pick-Up Patrol indicating the absence with the comment “Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day” entered in the more information section. Your child will not be marked absent if we are properly informed of their participation in this program.
