EWRSD Weekly Update
January 27, 2023
January is School Board Recognition Month
School board members are ordinary people who demonstrate extraordinary dedication and commitment to the students, staff, and families within the EWRSD. They represent local citizen control and decision-making regarding the important role that education represents in our student’s lives. They volunteer countless hours and devote an immeasurable amount of energy to assure that our schools are providing the best education possible for our students.
At the January 23 Board Meeting, as a small token of appreciation, students from Hightstown High School shared the gift of their artistic talents through vocal and instrumental performances. In addition, each board member received a piece of ceramic art that was created by various HHS students.
