What an incredible outpouring of generosity! The Pilla Safety Patrol recently partnered with People, Not Profit to host a schoolwide Holiday Toy Drive.

We collected toys for a couple of weeks and were able to collect 3 boxes full of toys—over 50+ toys for children of all ages.


We are so honored to have been a part of this event and "pay it forward" to our community. Thank you for your contributions! We are so #PillaProud!

🥇 Sportsmanship Shines at the Thanksgiving Throwdown 🦃
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!

Today, our 8th grade CTE students had an enriching visit to Rowan College of South Jersey (RCSJ)! 🎓 They attended a comprehensive career fair, gaining valuable insights into a variety of career paths, speaking directly with professionals, and learning about the necessary skills and education for future jobs. We also enjoyed a campus tour, exploring the course buildings and learning firsthand about the diverse educational programs RCSJ offers. Preparing our students for success!
