Reminders and Updates from CDW's Student Manager

Baseball

Yesterday the Knights' baseball team knocked off undefeated Closter 9-5 in a great team win. The Knights played stellar defense behind strong pitching performances from Cayden Yoon, Zach Miller and Joey Crescitelli. The bats also stayed red hot with big hits coming from Thomas Collins and Dylan Kim. Special shoutout to the Knights' managers, Nina Caunedo and Sadie Murphy, for helping the Knights continue their winning streak.

Softball

The CDW Softball Team defeated Harrington Park in a hard fought game 7-4 on Tuesday, May 24th. Every girl stepped up and played a big role in winning the game. Giselle Conway had two perfect bunt singles and stole over 6 bases. The Ella Ferrara and Leah Savino dynamic duo pitched and caught their best game of the season allowing only a few runs over five innings! All of the girls played heads up on the bases and were able to score big runs. Big time shout out to Bailey West and Ava Richards on their first game and helping the team win! Special thanks to the managers Finley Zimmerman and Reagan Tama! The girls are now 6-0 on the season.

The girls softball team won their final game of the season beating Closter in an epic 2-1 game. Ella Ferraro pitched her best game of the season allowing no earned runs over 5 innings! Lea Savino caught the best game of her season making great defense stops and throwing out a runner. Captain Sophia Savino got a clutch hit late in the game and scored a crucial run to take the lead. The defense played a great game and made big plays to hold Closter to 1 run. The girls finished the season undefeated and number 1 in the league. In what could be the final game, Coach Gianetti congratulates 8th graders Lauren Shehdanian, Erin Collins, Nicole Carbone, Regan Garrity, Ava Hull, Giselle Conway, Nicollete Cialdella, and Sophia Savino on an unforgettable season. Special thanks to manager Finley Zimmerman!

The CDC has updated its guidelines regarding international travel. Starting November 8, students who travel internationally will not be required to quarantine following their return to the United States. The United States is requiring a negative Covid-19 test to re-enter the US (from any international destination), so quarantine will not be required. We still ask for families to monitor their child(ren) for symptoms upon their return and quarantine if symptoms surface.
