Lenape assembly
This week, the 3rd grade was lucky to have Mr Rob with Ways of the Lenape come to teach them about the Lenape tribes. He brought some amazing artifacts, songs and stories about the native tribes of NJ. The kids learned so much about how the Lenape lived. Thanks to the PTO and the generosity of parents donation to help bring 3rd grade curriculum to life! What a way to enhance their current unit and research projects!
Read Across America in March!
There are a ton of events scheduled for CAS Students along with spirit days every Friday for the month of March.
This is to celebrate Dr. Seuss who is the original author of Read Across America Week.
Please reach out to CAS Library Media Specialist Mr. Paradiso with any questions at Paradisoc@madisonnjps.org

SIGN-UP! Lunch with the Principal
The students who have participated in this cannot stop talking about it. There are still spaces available so be sure to sign up your child!
Kindergarten through 3rd grade students will have an opportunity to have lunch with Mr. Liss and friends! The goal of these lunches is for students to share what they love about CAS, what we can bring to CAS, and general fun conversation about interests. This is also an opportunity for Mr. Liss to get to know your child even better! Please understand that this is not mandatory.
Children will be able to pack or buy his/her individual lunch. Click on the signup genius to get a spot for your child. Please only sign up for one spot per student.
