Lacrosse Event!
On May 7, 2024 the Girls and Boys Varsity Lacrosse programs from Toms River East and North are playing in a doubleheader showcase @ High School East. In collaboration with the Perrillo Family Foundation, we are using this night as a fundraiser for the Field of Dreams. Our hope is that donations and proceeds from this event will help in eliminating membership costs to over 2,100 special needs families. This will allow families who struggle with their typical day to have a place to experience events, festivals, and leagues without the worry of financial insecurities. The event is free to attend; please check out our links for more information!

Hola familias,
Me imagino que como yo, están felices que haya llegado la primavera. Ahora más que nunca necesitamos estar al corriente de las noticias de la escuela. El fin de año siempre trae importantes eventos que seguir. El Boletín informativo #17 tiene las fechas de estos eventos. También tiene mucha información sobre la universidad, ayuda financiera y búsqueda de empleo.
Pulse el enlace para ver el Boletín informativo #17.
Les recuerdo que a fin de año se reunirá el Comité de Asistencia para decidir qué estudiantes con ausencias crónicas (1o% o más) pasarán el año escolar. Por eso, estén seguros que sus hij@s vayan a la escuela todos los días y que lleguen a tiempo.
Raider Lighthouse
This week is the Habit 6: Synergize Activity Period. Our students will work cooperatively to create a video highlighting the “reasons why they are proud to be Raiders”. Each homeroom will put together ideas and a video showing their Raider Spirit. Synergy is all about teamwork and celebrating diversity! It is actively seeking to learn from others, respecting and valuing each other’s skills and contributions, and seeking out different ideas and perspectives. All of the habits that we have covered thus far, Habits 1-5, have prepared us to create Habit 6: the miracle of Synergy. We are super excited to see what our students come up with as they work together to develop reasons why they are proud to be Raiders!
