Xīn Nián Hǎo Ya!

Mrs. Spaeth's students are celebrating Chinese New Year this week by playing percussion instruments and dancing with an authentic Chinese Lion mask.  Lion dances are common during Chinese New Year. It is believed that the loud beats of the drum and the deafening sounds of the cymbals together with the face of the lion dancing can scare away bad spirits. 

Gettin' The Mail Out In Time For Valentine's Day!

Please stop by and visit us in the Chilton House hallway.

Great Job MathCounts Team!

On Saturday February 2nd, Elisabeth Morrow middle school students participated in the annual Math Counts Contest at Bergen County Community College. This is a national contest sponsored by the National Society of Professional Engineers and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Over 30 public and private schools attended the competition. The contest consists of a 30 question individual contest (where a calculator is allowed), 8 sprint (timed) questions, and a 10-question team contest.  The Elisabeth Morrow team of Annika Kim, William Chung, Emily Yu and Lee Staphos with alternate Chrissie Anagnos placed 6th. Each team member came home with a trophy and coach Carol Toth received a plaque for preparing the students. Kudos for a job well done.

What's Mathcounts?
Our Middle School Program.

The Middle School Nature Photography Club visited the New York Botanical Gardens on Wednesday of last week for some inspiration.  These pictures were taken by eighth graders Rene Spiewak, Deborah Ro, and Nikki Quinn.  

All school assembly

All school assembly focused this morning on the "middle" of the school year. First graders presented their "halfway day" projects, Chilton House students sang "I'm going to mail myself to you," their homage to the February tradition of the kindergarten post office, sixth graders gave a rendition of a song from their recent musical, and members of the middle school sports teams gave midseason reports. Boys' basketball is 11-2 and co-ed ice hockey is 2-0 so far this season! Here is a picture of the whole school during the assembly
