Long Valley Middle School

And that's a wrap! Thank you LVMS PTA for hosting a great night for our 8th graders!

We're ready to GLOW at the PTA sponsored 8th Grade Dance!

Thank you, LVMS class of 2023, and LVMS teachers/chaperones, for a successful field trip! The weather was perfect, clear yesterday and only minimal haze today. LVMS students enjoyed a safe and memorable tour of Gettysburg. And - It's *possible* they enjoyed Hershey Park today, too! Thank you, Panthers!! Well done!!! We are heading back to smoke, haze and LVMS right now. Current ETA: 7:48pm.

As a collaborative opportunity with Mrs. Paolella's ELA class at BAC, students from Mr. Katzoff's 7th grade class 'won' the honor of having their stories reviewed/commented upon by the 4th graders, received illustrated covers, and discussed the values needed to succeed in middle school.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to our Portrait of a Panther work throughout this school year! We are excited to announce the outcomes of that exploration. Please see your email, or our LVMS Website, for additional information. We Are PANTHERS! https://sites.google.com/wtschools.org/portraitofapanther/home

It was wonderful seeing our incoming LVMS PANTHERS earlier today for their Fifth Grade Picnic! Special THANK YOU to our LVMS Panther for spending some time in the sun for some fun with the LVMS Class of 2026! Thank you, also, to our elementary school colleagues and PTA volunteers for all of your hard work making this a FANTASTIC day for the students. We look forward to getting to know everyone better in September!

6-1 Math Students competed in a cup stacking competition during state testing week. After stacking cups, as a class they took their data which was the number of rows of cups per group and found the mean, median and mode.

From the office of the Mayor: There has been a lot of discussion about the County’s summer’s Schooley’s Mountain Road bridge project. At our project kickoff meeting, I asked the County to hold a public information session meting for people to get information on the project and ask questions. As I mentioned in my monthly update, on Thursday, May 25th at 7:00PM, Washington Township Officials, in conjunction with the Morris County Engineering Department, will be holding an open public information session at Town Hall, 43 Schooley’s Mountain Road, Long Valley, N.J., for the purpose of discussing the Long Valley Center Schooley’s Mountain Bridge Repair Project. Information will be presented on the detours, dates, and related project logistics. The project work is scheduled to begin on June 1st with detours beginning on or about June 17th. The meeting is open to the public and no action will be taken. Please attend if you have any questions, concerns, or comments on the project.

Funded by our generous LVMS PTA grant, Mr. Ferrante brought VR Goggles to Social Studies classes to help 6th graders virtually visit the Colosseum, the Form and the Circus Maximus. A great addition to our ancient Rome curriculum! Thank you LVMS PTA for your support!
