8th graders TRAVEL TO WASHINGTON D.C.
The 8th grade students had the opportunity to broaden their American History knowledge by taking a 3 day trip to Washington D.C. Students had the opportunity to view different memorials, visit the Capitol, observe museums and other historical landmarks during the trip. The trip not only taught them the history of our country, but helps them with responsibility, personal independence and the strengthening of friendships.
ELEMENTARY STUDents take the big stage
The JHS Elementary Spring Concert was held on Tuesday, April. Thanks to the hospitality of Boonton High School, we were able to try something new for this event and our students enjoyed performing in the High School Auditorium. Students did an excellent job and we are sincerely grateful for their efforts and preparation leading up to the event, Mrs. Houser's noteworthy work in getting in preparing students for their performance, the assistance of our staff who made the event a success logistically, and for the support of our families and community members who joined us for the evening. It was a wonderful occasion to showcase and celebrate the talents of our students and the growth they have achieved this year!
SPring Dance A success
The John Hill School Student Council hosted the annual spring dance last Friday. The students danced the night away. Awards went to Trinity McClin for best dressed and Charlie Sagerer for best dancer. A fun time was had by all!
