Garfield School: The Kearny Fire Department came to visit Miss Pace’s Pre-K class to celebrate the end of the clothing study. The students learned all about what a firefighter wears as a uniform and even got to try out how to work the oxygen tank! Firefighter TJ Witt gave all of the students their very own firefighter helmets! Thank you Kearny Fire Department for such a fun experience.

Garfield School: Mrs. Berberian's 4th grade writing classes learned all about adjectives while promoting "Kindness!" Students wrote an adjective to describe each of their classmates. After the students read the kind words their peers wrote about them, they chose 7 adjectives to write on rainbow strips. The classes were rewarded for their kindness by getting to make a festive art project to accompany the lesson. Everyone did a wonderful job! The projects are displayed in the hallway at Garfield School.
