A Zoo comes to Link!

June 2, 2022 By Sharon Machrone

Linkers enjoyed the llama, donkey, bunnies, goats, and other furry friends brought to the school by the Mountainside Traveling Petting Zoo.  What a fun and relaxing experience for our scholars and staff, especially after several weeks of testing! This event was a reward to show our scholars how much we appreciate all their hard work in school and living the Core Values!

Link Kindergartners attend a concert!

April 29, 2022 By Sharon Machrone

Our youngest scholars enjoyed a musical concert experience this past week. In preparation for their visit with members of the Newark Symphony, Anais-Skye Clarke-Avignant, a Link 7th grader was invited to play violin during one of the kindergarten music classes. Anais introduced students to her magnificent violin and made beautiful music for the youngsters. They learned about concert etiquette and, for many, participated in their first symphony experience!

On Friday, April 22nd, as scholars dressed up for the concert, and walked down the street to the Newark School of the Arts. Students were introduced to beautiful musicians and their melodic music. They listened to percussion instruments, various flutes, and a clarinet. Students sang rounds, clapped, and stomped to the rhythm of some of the music and listened to some familiar favorites like Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and even Baby Shark! Thanks to the Newark School of the Arts for arranging this experience for our little scholars.

Novartis Mentoring Program Inspires Linkers

April 29, 2022 By Sharon Machrone

On April 19th, a group of 8th graders participated in the virtual Novartis Multicultural Teen Corporate Mentoring Program. This program has been running for over twenty years, and provides 8th - 12th grade students from schools in the area with the opportunity to hear from inspiring speakers and network with executives and successful professionals. During the morning session, scholars met a director of human resources, a DEI coordinator, and a professional radio host. They spoke about overcoming obstacles and how mentors helped them get to where they are today. During the afternoon, students explored a variety of careers by selecting breakout sessions including communications, finance, oncology, hematology, and human resources. Marc Gautier provided the following reflection: “It was a fun and educational experience. I learned that negatively speaking to yourself doesn’t do any good. Positive self-talk makes the mind believe in itself and when the mind believes in itself, you can do anything. Also, taking risks is better than not doing anything at all.” A huge thank you to the Newark School of the Arts for providing a classroom for our Linkers so they had a special place to participate in this program.

Angela Joy, author, visits Link

April 15, 2022 By Sharon Machrone

Scholars and staff enjoyed a wonderful day with Mrs. Angela Joy, a children’s book author, who came to Link and shared her book, Black is a Rainbow Color, with our kindergartners and Lower house scholars!  After reading the book to our very rapt audiences, Ms. Joy engaged students in a discussion of how the illustrations in the book held “hidden meanings” about the text.  Students asked Mrs. Joy a lot of great questions – about the publishing process as well as about her book.  Ms. Joy had lunch with a number of students and spent time signing copies of her books that were then distributed to the kindergarteners.  In turn, the kindergartners presented Ms. Joy with a book they wrote and illustrated following the theme of Mrs. Joy’s book. Mrs. Schiano, Link’s K-4 Supervisor,  arranged for the visit from Mrs. Joy (who came all the way from California to see us!) through the Jane Addams Peace Association, a non-profit organization with a mission to connect children with books that get them to understand and think about “peace, social justice, global community, and equity for all people.”
