Honiss School Home

During their three-day trip to our nation's capital, 8th graders had the opportunity to visit significant landmarks such as Arlington Cemetery, the Kennedy Center, the Museum of American History, and the White House, as well as enjoy a special dinner cruise.

Students immersed themselves in a day of engaging stations, each aligned with the five competencies and the powerful theme, 'My Actions, My Impact: Respect Yourself, Respect Others.' They explored activities, from finding tranquility in a calming yoga room to crafting personal journals filled with positive affirmations. The day culminated in a vibrant K-5 photo on the front lawn, with each student receiving a special bag of calming and mindfulness tools.

Congratulations to Luke Keith on his participation in the North Jersey Spelling Bee county finals at Bergen Community College on the evening of March 11th. It was a lengthy event, lasting four hours, and Luke competed admirably against 78 contestants, advancing to the third round. We are incredibly proud of his achievement, especially after qualifying for the Regional competition. Congratulations!

The Dumont Women's Club continued the tradition of visiting Honiss School during Read Across America Week. Four volunteers read stories to students in Kindergarten - 5th grade. It was a wonderful morning for all.

On Friday, February 21st, we proudly inducted 30 new members into the National Junior Honor Society, Middle School Chapter (NJHS). The inductees celebrated this significant achievement with their families and friends. Congratulations to all the students on receiving this prestigious national recognition.
