KHS students and faculty had a hauntingly wicked Halloween, masquerading in creative costumes and having spooky-fun time!
On this spine-chilling Halloween, Mr. Vega's honors forensic science students dive into a forensic anthropology lab, examining eerie skeletal remains! 🎃🦴 Who knew identifying bones could be so bone-chillingly fun? 💀🕸️
No "spooky, scary skeletons" here! KHS is having a fun morning showing off their festive costumes, and we can't wait to see the rest of our kids and faculty all decked out for Halloween!
Wishing all of our ghouls and goblins a sweet Halloween that brings you more treats than tricks! Happy Halloween from the Kearny School District! 👻🧙🏼🍭🍬🍫🎃

The medical students volunteered and assisted with the Kearny Board of Health Community Health Fair on October 19th. The students arrived early in the morning for set-up and were ready to give their assistance with various vendor tables. They greeted the visitors as they arrived. They performed blood pressure measurements and kept some of the children occupied as they arrived to get their vaccines. It was a great learning experience for them.
