CHS Teacher Features 2025

TEACHER FEATURE SIGN-UP FORM

 

Our first after-school TEACHER FEATURE starts up when we get back from Spring Break.  It is Dodgeball Battle 2.0 in Mt. Lakes”. Dr. Cap will drive any students participating over to Mt. Lakes so all parents have to is cut a check for $75 and arrange for pick up at  5PM on WEDS, April 30th. In addition to the Dodgeball feature, we have a couple more amazing opportunities: 

 

  • Come Meet the Animals & Cat Café, Mt. Lakes:  Rotate through six unique rooms—each filled with fascinating animals to meet, touch, and learn about. And as special guests, a police dog and handler will showcase their amazing skills! Plus... THREE Surprise Animals! The afternoon will wrap up in our Cat Café for refreshments and feline quality time (SATURDAY, May 17th, 10:00 am - 12:35 pm] 
  • Still Water Kayaking in Denville: Here is your chance to experience kayaking with Mr. Furlong, a veteran kayaker, on the pristine waters of Indian Lake.  Your adventure will depart and return to Mr. Furlong’s house on Indian Lake in Denville.  After your scenic tour, relax on shore and enjoy pizza for dinner (MON, June 2nd or June 9th, depending on the weather, 5PM pick up Indian Lake, Denville NJ).

 

The cost for each is $75 (checks made payable to Craig School) and the due date for sign-ups is WEDS, April 23rd.  Any questions, contact our Craig Coordinator for Development, Mary Calvano, at mcalvano@craigschool.org




 

ATHLETICS

 

Afterschool Golf Clinics Start Up After Spring Break (Tuesdays, April 22nd, 29th, May 6th):  Afterschool Golf Clinics start up when we get back from Spring Break.   We will practice our golf fundamentals at CHS with the goal of a May trip to Twin Willows in Lincoln Park to put our golf skills to the test.  No equipment or experience is necessary.  Students can see Dr. Cap or CHS Senior, Jada, if interested in joining us.   



Advancement

THE CRAIG GOLF EVENT NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Here are 2 ways you can help.

First, our online auction will run alongside the outing, and we need your help to make it a success! Thanks to our generous Craig families, we’re bringing back the Amazon Wish List for easy item donations. Simply select an item, and it will be shipped directly to Craig School to be bundled into auction packages. All items must arrive by May 21st.

How You Can Help the Auction:

 

  • Golf Club Connections – If you’re a golf club member or know someone who is, a golf foursome donation or a member and a threesome would be a sought-after auction item.
  • Auction Donations – Have season tickets, a vacation home, or access to unique experiences? Consider donating them! Gift cards are also great additions.
  • Monetary Contributions – Cash donations are welcome! Make checks payable to The Craig School and drop them off at the Blue House.

Every contribution - big or small - helps make this event successful. Thank you for supporting Craig’s largest fundraiser!

For questions, contact: Amanda Jahn (ajahn@craigschool.org), or Mary Calvano (mcalvano@craigschool.org)

The second way to help - attend the outing and/or dinner.  Details are:
