New Link for April 29th Board Meeting https://youtube.com/live/hTHEyG6qsEY?feature=share

Thank you to everyone who attended our Grandparents/Special Persons Day event! It was wonderful to share our small piece of paradise with all of you! From breakfast to each class singing a song to classroom visits, everyone was smiling ear to ear! A huge thank you to the Ocean Gate New Jersey Education Association for putting on such a loved and amazing event!

Our April House Meeting focused on caring and communication skills as the students made cards for an organization that send cards to children who are in the hospital. Each house worked on the importance of verbal and nonverbal communication as well as working together to accomplish a goal. Students continue to display the 6 Pillars of Character daily!

Join us for a Blueclaws Baseball family game night! June 12th for opening pitch at 7:05pm. Invite all your friends and family to join in on this event!

We LOVED having extra gators for a day! We celebrated Take your Child to Work day before spring break! Our extra gators participated in various activities throughout the day including ending the day in an Easter Egg Hunt! 🐊💚

Thank you to the Ocean Gate Garden Club for inviting our Kindergarten through Second Grade to attend the Arbor Day Celebration. Together they planted a new tree and each student planted sunflower seeds to grow their own sunflower plants at home! 🌻🪴

The Ocean Gate Green Team had an opportunity to partner up with the Ocean Gate Garden Club last week as we were getting our garden planters ready for the season!

Ms. Maute and Mrs. Risk's classes had cute furry visitors last week! As a part of their Pet study, our Pre K classes had Michele LeVance from Pet Supplies Plus stop by to talk with them about having pets and what they can find in her local pet stores. She also brought 2 pet ferrets, Noodles and Spaghetti, with her that the students could pet and play with. Thank you Michele!!!

A nice thank you from Council Woman Joella for our Gator participation in the "Souper Bowl" drive. Great job to Ms. McCue and the Student Council for organizing!

Mrs. Parliman's Kindergarteners had the best visit today! A few months ago, our kindergarteners created monster drawings with Mrs. Jarka in art class. These drawings were then sent to Mrs. Barrett's Fiber Arts class over at Central Regional. These amazing high school students brought our creative kindergartener's monsters to life! Today, the art students from Central came to Ocean Gate to present the monsters to Mrs. Parliman's class. The kindergarteners had the best time chatting with the art students and colored a picture of their monster's environment! We can't thank Mrs. Barrett and her students enough! These monsters will also be on display at Grandparent's day for everyone to see!🐊🦅💚
