Today, we joined staff and students across our district in celebrating a very special milestone—the 250th birthday of the United States of America. For two and a half centuries, our country has been shaped by the courage, determination, and contributions of countless individuals who have worked to build a stronger future for all.
As part of the celebration, Ms. Super's students enjoyed hotdogs and patriotic cookies while listening to patriotic music, reading nonfiction text about the birth of our country, and working together to come up with words connected to America using their articles. ❤️🤍💙

Mr. Brandon from NJ4S has been meeting with our 7th-grade boys for about two months now. They meet every week to work on healthy habits, making good choices, mental health and well-being, and social skills. Today, the boys were treated to a yummy lunch from Chick-fil-A! A few boys couldn’t make it, but they still had a great time in the group, even if they missed lunch!
🎉 Pilla Middle School is celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary! Students, wear red, white, or blue on Monday, June 15 and don’t forget your commemorative pin! 🇺🇸

🌊 8th Grade Takes On Big Kahuna's! ☀️
What a perfect way to celebrate the end of the year! Our 8th graders made a huge splash at Big Kahuna’s Water Park for their class trip, and a fantastic time was truly had by all.
From catching waves on the FlowRider and shooting hoops in the pool, to drifting down the lazy river and soaking up the sun poolside, the day was packed with smiles, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
A massive shoutout to our incredible students—not only did they have an absolute blast, but they were also incredibly well-behaved, representing our school beautifully all day long. Mother Nature definitely smiled on us too, serving up the most perfect, beautiful sunny weather we could have asked for.
