Throwing it back to the sweetest days! 🍫✨ Reminiscing about our time on stage for Wonka KIDS!

From the rehearsals to the final curtain call, it was nothing short of amazing. A huge, overdue round of applause for the phenomenal cast and crew who made the magic happen 👏. It truly was the most fun ever!🎟️✨ We would also like to give a huge thank you to our Theatrical Coordinator, Ms. Somma, AND Mrs. Anthony for her AMAZING set and prop designs.

🍎 Principal Appreciation Day Spotlight: Dr. J! 🍎

Today we’re giving a huge shout-out to our very own Dr. Jacoutot! To celebrate Principal Appreciation Day, the PTO Board surprised him with a gift card to Nettie’s House of Spaghetti in Tinton Falls. 🍝

It’s just a small token of our thanks for the big impact he has on our school. From supporting our kids in the classroom to being a constant champion for the Highlands community, Dr. J truly does it all. We hope he enjoys a much-deserved night out and a fantastic meal!

Thank you, Dr. J, for your leadership, your dedication, and for always going above and beyond. We are so lucky to have you at the helm!

Go Osprey Pride! 🦅💙
