The entire school from Nursery to 8th Grade made Nativity ornaments to raise money to build a house in Haiti. Holy Family School is working on a service project with Holy Family Religious Ed and the parish to make ornaments to raise money to build a home in Haiti for a family in need. We need to raise almost $7,000 for this endeavor. What a gift it will be for a family. We are so blessed here that we would like to share our blessings. It was beautiful to see the older students working with the younger children making these ornaments. We would also like to thank all of our "Cricuteers", "Silhouetters" and their helpers who cut the Nativity scenes. We'd also like to thank Mrs. Weiss and Mrs. Puzo's 4th grade that helped in sorting, cutting and counting to prepare for this day.

Teachers & children all dressed up for Halloween! Check out our Facebook and Instagram pages for some fun photos!

Our Kindergarten, First and 2nd grades visited Schmitt's Farm today! They learned all about plants and vegetables at the farm. They learned which plants grow under the ground and which ones grow above the ground and all about corn, tassels and the silk! Ask your child about how many kernels are on one ear of corn? It was a beautiful day to appreciate nature and all our blessings!

Mrs. Messina, Mrs. Boyle & Mr. LaFalce "cooked" up some Halloween snacks for your children! Fun and delicious!

This afternoon, our entire school gathered on the lawn by Newbridge Road for the Living Rosary. Fr. Gerard prayed the rosary with all the students, faculty and staff. We'd like to thank Mrs. Eckhoff and Mrs. Torres for making the beautiful oversized rosary for our school. We are very blessed.

Our Nursery & Pre-K Classes visited the Holy Family Chapel for a blessing of their stuffed animals by Fr. Gerard! After school, you could bring your real pet to the church for a blessing!

Again this past Friday, all grades participated in STREAM! The children look forward to this activity all week. They work on the 4 C's of STREAM : Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking & Creativity, The 7th & 8th graders used playing cards to create their tallest tower. 6th graders worked in groups to create the best designed water tower. 5th graders built football fields and goal posts, along with paper footballs to try and score the most field goals. They learned about fractions, percentages and much more, all while having a lot of fun! The 4th graders compared how different substances react in plain water versus water with corn syrup. They added glitter, magnetic & non-magnetic bingo chips, and other items to their bottles and watched for reactions. They shook and used magnetic wands to show different reactions. 2nd graders used index cards and dot stickers along with scissors to attempt to create the highest, stable tower. They each worked in groups of 2 to plan and execute. The highest tower was 1 foot high! Way to go! Check out the STREAM tab on home page to see a few photos!

Our Holy Family School Brownie Troop coordinated with the Art Room and repurposed their cookie boxes to collect markers. They decorated and then distributed to all the classrooms at Holy Family School. All dried out markers were placed in the boxes and the girls collected them at the end of the year from the Art room and all the teachers' classrooms. Mrs. Ferreri shipped almost 1,000 markers back to Crayola to be recycled! Way to go girls! Cleaning up our earth, one marker at a time!

Mrs. Buckley's Pre-K children made lion hats on the letter "L" day. During their first STREAM Friday, they listened to the book, The Dot, and made fruit loop necklaces to wear!

Adult and me class is available on Wednesdays or Thursdays depending on age of child. Please see attached flyer for more information.

Every Friday afternoon, our students participate in STREAM- Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art and Math! The students work on the 4 C's of STREAM : Collaboration, Communication, Critical thinking and Creativity! Click on the picture for some shots from today's fun. The 4th Grade's STREAM Challenge was: 'How many toy bears can fit in a tin foil boat before sinking?'. Two trials were completed to improve our boat models.

A few pictures from some of our 8th grade special events!

As part of the Diocesan Faith in the Public Square initiative: Feed the Body, Feed the Soul, today Holy Family Students donated paper goods for less fortunate families to our Parish Pantry. Sr. Carol stated that they were in need of paper goods for many families over the summer. The students also donated $2.00 which Sr. Carol asked be used to purchase fruit, jello and pudding cups as well as other single serve healthy snacks for families over the summer months.

Congratulations to our 2nd graders who made their First Communion on Saturday, May 4, 2019. On May 13th, we celebrated the Feast of Our Lady of Fátima. Towards the end of Mass, two of the communicants crowned Mary, and each child of Holy Family School presented the Blessed Mary with a flower.

The month of October is dedicated to the Rosary and our Blessed Mother Mary. We joined together as a school family to say a decade of the Rosary together.

At Holy Family School we are very proud to have help our very first STREAM Friday. After reading the book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, students celebrated how they were going to make their mark on the school year.
