Rockaway Valley School
Excellence in Education
We loved our special visitors last week!
Mr. Spender welcomed a few third graders from Mrs. LaRusso’s class into the classroom to help with a fun place value lesson. The students took on the role of “bankers,” helping exchange ones blocks for tens and tens blocks for a hundreds block. 🧮✨
It was a fantastic, hands-on way for everyone to practice place value skills—and a great example of learning together across grade levels!

Ms. Sidney’s 3rd grade class had a wonderful time participating in an MLK STEM activity today!
Students were challenged to create a statue honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. using a $20 budget (play money). They “purchased” supplies from a provided list, used their math skills to calculate costs, and made sure they stayed within budget.
The creativity and problem-solving on display were amazing, and each statue was truly one of a kind! We’re excited to share their hard work with our RVS community. 😊

🚀 Eighth Grade Takes on Mars! 🌌
On January 9th, our eighth grade students traveled to the Buehler Challenger Center in Paramus, NJ for an exciting simulated mission to Mars! Students worked collaboratively on hands-on projects ranging from spectrometry to xenobiology, learning not only about the challenges of space travel but also the importance of teamwork and problem-solving.
The Buehler Challenger Center was created in honor of the seven astronauts who lost their lives aboard the Challenger in 1986 and continues their mission of promoting space education. RVS was proud to participate in this meaningful experience for the second year in a row.
A special thank you to the Boonton Township Education Foundation for generously funding this unforgettable trip. Our students truly reached for the stars! 🌟
