Letter from the Principal

Dear Beers Street Families,

Congratulations, and thank you to Mrs. Vina’s homeroom! They raised the most money for the PTO Silly String-O-Ween fundraiser and got to silly-string me at the dance today. Thank you, PTO and Beers Street community, for your generous contributions!

Halloween is this Thursday, October 31st, and students are encouraged to wear costumes to school. We are having a Halloween Costume Contest. Prizes will be awarded for the best, most original, scariest, and funniest costumes. Please follow the dress code and note the following to ensure a fun and safe day. Apparel with offensive, profane, or inappropriate messages or images will not be permitted. This includes masks, toy weapons, or revealing clothing. Please do not bring snacks or candy to school. 

The Raritan High School Drama Club would like to extend invitations to two upcoming events:

Backstage with the Cast and Crew of “Midsummer Jersey” - a night for kids to see everything it takes to put on a show.
