The idea to Read and Exercise a Marathon was based off of a program called Exercise the Right to Read.  We combined the importance of reading and exercising into a 26 day challenge for Montclair students.  Each night students were to read for 26 minutes and exercise for 13 minutes (the approximate equivalent of a mile).  Our goal was to have 80% of Montclair participate.  On May 5th, the 26th day of the challenge, students and teachers met at Forest Park High School to complete the last mile together.  It was  great event with about 140 people attending.  It has been an exciting 26 days at Montclair the students met their challenge and as a school we had 80% of teachers and students participate!

Every Tuesday and Thursday morning, many kindergarten and first grade students have the opportunity to participate in activities based on the current brain research that movement enhances learning. We use a progression of stations for physical movement, balancing, mid-line crossing, eye tracking and spatial awareness while learning and reviewing academic content. It's a fun and time efficient way to promote learning. Click here for more pictures.

The SCA sponsored our 2nd annual “Letters for Soldiers” campaign. Students in grades K-5 generated cards and letters to send overseas to the men and women serving in our armed forces this holiday season. In all, the students wrote hundreds of cards and letters, which were presented to Chief Parsons, Department of the Navy, White House Military Office.

 

Student safety is our priority; thus, PWCS has established rules to regulate conduct of students who ride the bus.  Please refer to our PWCS Code of Behavior document and the attached documents that outline those expectations.  Riding the bus is a privilege and failure to obey these rules can result in this privilege being revoked for students.

 

At Montclair, Mrs. Forgas coordinates our bus program.  If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Forgas or Mrs. Soltis.  We are very proud of our students being "responsible and response-able" as bus riders!  Thank you for reinforcing appropriate behavior with your children
