We are so proud of the participants in our first annual Staff versus Students Thanksgiving Throwdown Speedball Tournament!
While the Staff managed to secure the victory in a very competitive match, the real winners were our entire school community. We extend our deepest thanks for the excellent sportsmanship displayed by all competitors and the respectful, enthusiastic support from the cheering section. It was a wonderful way to celebrate gratitude and healthy competition!










Our Safety Patrol showed true leadership during Multicultural Night—bringing artifacts from Mexico, decorating our table, serving families, and supporting everyone with a smile.










The Pilla Safety Patrol is partnering with "People, Not Profit NJ" to help bring joy to the community through a Toy Drive. 🧸🪀To help, please bring in a new and unwrapped toy to help children less fortunate this holiday season.
