Faculty Maroon Award

Congratulations to Mr. Daimian Smith and Mrs.

Eileen D'Elia for being selected for our first ever

Faculty Maroon Award! For this award, faculty

members nominate colleagues who inspire others

and help make RHS a better place every single

day.

Ridgewood-Beaucamps French Exchange

Seventeen French students were hosted by Ridge-

wood families in October. They attended classes at

RHS, shadowing their host students throughout the

day, and spent their evenings and weekends with

their American families. They were completely im-

mersed in our school and life in America.

During their stay, the French students attended a

welcome reception, a home football game, and

spent two full days discovering NYC, among other

individual family activities. They explored the Ellis

Island National Museum of Immigration, the Statue

of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, the 911 Memorial,

and toured the United Nations.

This is the second exchange organized by RHS

French teachers Laura Polk and Helene Palumbo. It

gives students the opportunity to learn and em-

brace the different cultural aspects of both coun-

tries.

During April Break 2020, RHS students will go to

Lille, France, for a 10 day immersion experience

with their French friends.

Catching Up With Ridgewood High School

QUOTE TO REMEMBER...

“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” –

Benjamin Franklin

November 15, 2019~ Page 2

RHS Senior Edward O'Keefe presented his summer

research recently at the International Symposium

on Clusters and Nanomaterials (Energy and Medi-

cine) in Virginia.

Interdisciplinary Project

Ashley Pollitt and Luke Dolby's 9th grade English classes collaborated with

Linda Chamesian and Alex Escobar’s 11th grade USII classes. After reading Of

Mice and Men, the 9th grade teams presented research on how gender, race,

age, and/or ability may prevent someone from achieving the American

Dream; subsequently, the 11th grade teams drafted progress and reform initi-

atives to confront and raise awareness of different forms of discrimination.

Need Help with Homework?

RHS National Honor Society students offer free

tutoring every Monday—Thursday from 3:15PM-

RHS Cross Country

Congratulations to the RHS Girls and Boys cross country teams. Both teams

won the North 1

Group 4 sectional title

on the Garett Moun-

tain course. This is

tive title for the girls

and 10th consecutive

title for the boys.

Both teams will com-

pete for a Group 4

state title at Holmdel

on November 16.

RHS DECA held a career fair in the Campus Center

and had local businesses interested in hiring high

Halloween Happenings @ RHS

November 15, 2019~ Page 3

Interactive Design

Mr. Wohner's Interactive Design students built monster skeletons during Hal-

loween. They worked in 2 teams to build the models using digital modeling

tools and 3D scanners to design the parts. Using the 3D printers in the Mak-

erspace they printed the

parts and had a good time

performing some surgery

to get the parts to fit

and move as their time

expired.

RHS DECA

RHS DECA held a Teal Pumpkin Painting event to spread awareness about food

allergies and providing an allergen friendly option for trick or treaters.

RHS teachers get into the Halloween spirit...RHS

Music teachers Ms. Geronimo, Mr. Haas, Mr.

Luckenbill and Mr. Fink, RHS Dance teacher Ms.
