This week at OFRS, students from Preschool through Grade 5 had the meaningful opportunity to engage in Mindfulness Activities. Through these sessions, they became more in tune with their minds and bodies, learning valuable strategies to self-regulate and stay grounded. It was inspiring to see our young learners empowered to take control of their thoughts and actions, all while striving to be the healthiest version of themselves.
Big thanks to the Long Valley Junior Women’s Club for putting together the 26th Annual Middle School Photo Contest!

In June, a photo gallery will be displayed at the Washington Township Public Library.

Old Farmers Road School hosted our local veterans for a breakfast, flag raising, and a demonstration on how to properly fold the flag. Although the ceremony had to be moved indoors because of the weather, we still had a magnificent event with the veterans, staff, students, members of the board, the mayor, local police and local politicians. The ceremony was capped off with some bagpipes courtesy of an OFRS dad - Mr. Barnett! Thank you everyone for supporting our local heroes.
On Monday, May 19th, the fifth grade from OFRS "released" the trout that they nurtured from eggs to frye, from October though May. Mrs. Domareki, the Trout Advisor and the fifth grade teachers accompanied the students to the river where not only put the frye in the river, but they also learned about river organisms, took a hike, had a scavenger hunt and a picnic lunch!
This past week, seventh-grade students visited the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium in Sandy Hook. Equipped with fishing waders, students and staff waded into the water to search for local aquatic life and try their hand at dip-netting—a traditional Native American fishing technique.
