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.
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!

Attention 5th, 6th, and 7th Grade Families!
The Washington Township School District is evaluating the potential for introducing Fencing to our complement of LVMS extra- and co-curricular opportunities for students during the 2025-2026 School Year. Before proceeding, however, our Leadership Team wishes to survey 5th, 6th, and 7th Grade families to determine overall interest in this program. Please take a moment to complete this survey if you wish for your child(ren) to be involved in a Fencing Club if one were to happen at the Long Valley Middle School. Be aware, this survey will close on Friday, April 11th.
