Pick a Reading Partner always is such a meaningful experience for our students. Over the course of several weeks, we welcomed family members, special guests, past alumni, and members of our own Tuxedo family into our classrooms. Students loved hearing stories and building connections with familiar faces and community role models, including Mr. Kahmar, Mr. Kaufmann, and Officer Bonkoski. A special thank you to Cecily Potouridis and our Digital Literacy teacher, Valerie Mui, for organizing these wonderful experiences and making it possible! 📚💙#TuxedoPride #TuxedoUFSD #PARP

Love was in the air!

Adolescent Psychology students, as part of a unit on Developmental Psychology, became “parents” for two weeks. They had to care for and carry around, their “babies” with them. This project included taking pictures of their “babies” doing developmental tasks, exhibiting reflexes, and hitting milestones. The students then examined Erik Erikson’s 8 psychosocial stages and watched their “children” pass through the stages. The students interviewed their own parents and formulated a parenting plan for the future. Everyone had a great experience with their babies!

GFB students in grades 7–10 recently had the opportunity to attend a meaningful two-day field trip at Ramapo College as part of the Safe School Ambassadors program, alongside SSA mentors Anne Castellanos, Michelle Foligno, and Chris Oliva.
During this experience, students participated in engaging, hands-on activities designed to build connections, strengthen communication skills, and foster a supportive school community. One fun activity was an interactive “Get-to-Know-You Bingo” activity that had students up on their feet, learning about one another, discovering shared interests, and forming new friendships.
Throughout the two days, students learned how to recognize acts of mistreatment and practiced practical strategies to safely and effectively intervene. These strategies included balancing situations, supporting peers, reasoning through conflicts, distracting to de-escalate, directing others toward positive choices, active listening, and knowing when to seek help. Through role-playing and real-life scenarios, students gained confidence in their ability to make a positive difference.
We are excited to have two groups of Safe School Ambassadors who will continue meeting regularly throughout the remainder of the school year. We look forward to seeing these student leaders use their voices and skills to promote kindness, inclusion, and positive choices within our school community. This helps to create a school culture where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued. #TuxedoUFSD #TuxedooPride #TuxedoSSA
