When you ask your child what they did in school today and they say, "Nothing"... check here to start a discussion by seeing what we did in science or social studies class. I will post a brief description of our work and your child can fill in the rest.
"You're mad, bonkers, completely off your head. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are."

February 5th was our 90th day of school!
I am unsure why this is not more well-known, but Martin Luther King Jr. came and spoke in Montclair. The picture below shows him walking to the Union Baptist Church on September 11, 1966. He spoke during the service at the church and later went to speak to over 3,000 people in the high school auditorium and gym. There is a plaque (pictured below) in the high school band room where he waited before going on stage. This link will take you to a short video of two people's memories of being part of his visit... click here.
