As part of Project Adventure, Newmark High School Juniors and Seniors participated in "trust fall" activities last week.

Come touch a truck!  Hop on board!  Get behind the wheel!  For the fourth year, the JCC of Central NJ in Scotch Plains invites families with children of all ages to their free Touch a Truck event on Sunday, May 19 from 1:00 - 5:00 PM rain or shine. Special "Hold the Horn" hour from 1:00 - 2:00 PM for children with special needs and/or auditory sensitivity issues - no horns, music or sirens during that time. 

This event is free and open to the community. The JCC is located at 1391 Martine Avenue.  Offsite parking and shuttle service will be available at the Union County Vocational Technical School campus at 1776 Raritan Road, Scotch Plains.  Visit www.jccnj.org for full details.

 

If you heard the sound of  babies crying in the Newmark hallways this week it was all part of the Baby Project.  NHS Juniors participated in the Real Care Program, designed to help young people experience how much responsibility is involved in raising an infant. “I thought it would be pretty stressful and hard, but I thought it was a lot of fun," commented NHS student Florian S.

 

 

 

 

"Our students were prepared for the screening during their group counseling sessions the week prior to the movie, and will debrief and discuss the movie in group counseling next week, said Ms. George, Newmark Supervisor of Counseling.  "We have received positive feedback from students and staff after the screening."

Please visit angstmovie.com for more information about the movie and resources about anxiety.

Staff Development Day - No School for Newmark students on Friday, March 22, 2019

Important Notice! Newmark will be closed on Monday, March 4, 2019 due to inclement weather.

 

 

Newmark staff squeaked out a 54 – 52 win over NHS students this past Friday night.  The win did however come at the price of many aches and pains for the staff over the weekend.  Thank you to all who helped celebrate Newmark's School Spirit Week!

Newmark's annual Art Show help support school field trips for students to experience live theatre!  Ms. Fagan, Ms. McCarty, and Mrs. Necci’s classes enjoyed a trip to the State Theatre in New Brunswick to see Erth’s Prehistoric Aquarium, a thrilling, interactive show that made prehistoric sea creatures come to life.  Two students, Jack and Harrison, were also chosen to be a part of the action. 

Newmark High School celebrates School Spirit Week with Geek-Out Day (It's all about you! Dress up showing off one of your favorite interests or hobbies)!
