We celebrated a huge milestone today: Our young Manatees have completed their first 100 days of school! From the first day jitters to today’s celebrations, it has been a joy to watch them grow, explore, and achieve so much.
Congratulations to our students (and parents!) on reaching the 100-day mark. Let’s finish the rest of the year strong! 💪💙

We had a wonderful time celebrating our amazing Mrs. Bartel and Mr. Nate yesterday evening at the annual Apple Awards!
Both of these incredible team members were nominated by their peers to represent Paterson as this year's Teacher of the Year and School-Related Employee of the Year. It is such a well-deserved honor to see them recognized on a big stage.
To Mrs. Bartel and Mr. Nate: Thank you. We are so grateful for your heart, your hard work, and the massive impact you make on our students, staff, families, and stakeholders every single day. You truly represent the best of us! 💛💙
