November Message
 
We are now in November and I have some important information for you about what is going on in our schools. I hope you noticed the upgrade in my monthly video last October.  I am proud to announce that our North Bergen High School students are working with a local TV/video Studio Company.  Under Pat O’Melia and his staff’s leadership, they are learning all aspects of production.  I want to thank everyone for their hard work and dedication to improving the product.
 
First, as we approach Veterans Day on November 11th, I want to take a moment to reflect on the significance of this important day and to express our gratitude to all veterans for their service and sacrifice. Veterans Day is a time to honor all those who have served honorably in the United States Armed Forces, both in wartime and peacetime.  Our schools will be hosting various events and activities to commemorate Veterans Day, including special assemblies, guest speaker presentations, and patriotic art projects. We encourage you to discuss the meaning of Veterans Day with your children and to find ways to honor veterans in your community.  Thank you to all of the veterans.

Second, as Thanksgiving approaches, we encourage you to take time to reflect on the many blessings in your lives. This holiday season, let's express our gratitude to our neighbors, friends, and family for their love and support. We also encourage you to consider those less fortunate and give back to your community through some act of kindness. Whether it's volunteering at a local food bank, donating to a charitable cause, or simply spending quality time with loved ones, every small act of kindness can make a big difference.  I wish each of you a warm and joyful Thanksgiving filled with gratitude and togetherness.

Third, as a reminder, Daylight Savings Time ends on Sunday, November 3rd, 2024. Please remember to set your clocks back one hour before going to bed on Saturday night. This change may affect your child's sleep schedule, so it's important to establish a consistent bedtime routine to help them adjust to the time change.

Lastly,  we are excited to announce the launch of our Saturday morning enrichment programs, designed to provide additional academic support and enrichment opportunities for our students. These programs will focus on key subjects like math, reading, and writing, as well as offer a variety of engaging activities. By attending these programs, your child will have the chance to reinforce their learning, develop new skills, and build confidence in their academic abilities. We believe that these Saturday morning programs will be a valuable asset to our students' educational journey.  Please check the website for the Saturday Morning schedule.

As always, If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact your child's school or me at [email protected] and please place in the subject line "a parent of a North Bergen student".

 Thank you.
