Hispanic Heritage Month at Link!
Link is celebrating National Hispanic Heritage this month. Each day during morning announcements, students are learning about famous Hispanic Americans and their contributions and achievements and well as a number of heritage related facts. Middle school students were treated to a demonstration and lesson in Latin Salsa Dancing by performers from the Newark School of the Arts. Kindergartens and first graders will learn about the heritages of several Latino staff members. Other related activities and discussions are happening in the classrooms.
Off to a great start!
Link opened its doors to students on Tuesday, September 6th for the new school year! They seemed eager and excited to meet their teachers and their fellow classmates. The first week of school was spent in reacclimating students to school - reviewing school culture and procedures. And settling in! Link is looking forward to a terrific year with our scholars! Here are some photos of Day 1 arrival and activities.

A Zoo comes to Link!
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!
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.
