The RVS Environmental Club is making a colorful impact! ♻️🌈
Thanks to the Ed Foundation grant, the club delivered another TerraCycle marker recycling box to Mrs. Fusco and shipped off a full one, keeping even more markers out of landfills!
Members also visited lower elementary classrooms to hand out collection bags and spread the word. Keep an eye out as they continue collecting and adding to the art room box! 💚

Our 7th grade students in Mrs. Lehman’s Language Arts class recently created impressive “One Pager” posters based on the Holocaust novel Milkweed. These projects serve as creative expressions, highlighting key themes, symbols, and meaningful quotes using MLA format.
8th grade students who completed the project last year had the opportunity to review the projects and vote for their favorites. Congratulations to this year’s winners: Celia, Josie, Angelina, and Evan!
Wonderful work by all—each student did an outstanding job showcasing their understanding and creativity. 👏

Dear RVS Parents/Guardians,
Just a reminder that the Boonton Township School District will operate on a delayed opening schedule on Monday, March 16 due to a scheduled professional development session for all staff.
As all staff members will be participating in the training, morning extra help will not be available, and school doors will not open until 9:30 AM, as there will be no supervision prior to that time.

Dear RVS Parents and Community,
Tomorrow, Wednesday, February 25th, we will have a delayed opening.
The overnight and morning temperatures are expected to between 20 and 28°. We are expected to get a couple of inches from a clipper system passing through. Unfortunately, the timing will coincide with the morning commute and the opening of school. The combination of the time, temperature, and snow require a delayed opening for everyone’s safety. It’s best to allow the professionals to properly prepare the roads and grounds first.
I’d like to express my sincere gratitude for our custodial crew and the town’s municipal team for the incredible work they did yesterday, last night and this morning in clearing and preparing the roads and school grounds. An additional shout out to our bus drivers clearing and preparing the buses very early this morning. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ken Frattini
