As a friendly reminder, the district will have an early dismissal on Tuesday, December 23. The district will be closed until our return to school on January 5. On behalf of our team at Boonton Schools, I wish all of our students, families, and friends Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year!

MET Visit
Recently, Ms. Angelillo's Art classes and Mr. Emering's World History classes visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The MET is the fourth-largest museum in the world and the most-visited museum in the United States. This enriching experience gave students the opportunity to engage directly with world-class art, history, and culture, supporting classroom learning through real-world exploration.

Art Project Critiques
Recently, Ms. Angelillo's class held their end of project critiques. Students discussed Surrealism and how to create works of art that bend reality and question what it means to play with abstraction. Students created their own pieces and gave each other meaningful, constructive feedback to help them grow as artists.

AENJ Conference Presenter
Recently, Ms. Angelillo had the opportunity to present at the AENJ (Art Educators of New Jersey) Conference. Her session titled, Beyond "I like it": Building Trust and Engagement in the Art Critique Process" focused on creating a supportive classroom culture where students feel seen, valued, and confident sharing their ideas. By modeling vulnerability, incorporating structured peer feedback, and emphasizing growth over perfection, she shared strategies that empower young artists to connect, collaborate, and critique with authenticity and respect.
BHS had some Halloween fun with our annual exploding pumpkin chemistry experiment, along with our annual pumpkin decorating contest. What artistic students we have!
