This past week was “Teacher Appreciation Week” at Craig High, and did we ever feel appreciated! Thank you to Mrs Yohanan and Mrs. O’Dowd for the ladder climbing and festive set-up!
There was the annual Student Car Wash where this year our students added some new amenities, including vacuuming and armor alling!
Next, our student artists, under the guidance of Ms. Steinel, created some personal, one-of-a-kind vases to honor our wonderful faculty and all they do to help them learn and grow.
In between our car wash and flowers, our Parents and PACS put together an amazing week of treats, desserts, fruits, lunches, and breakfasts. It was a delicious week of appreciation. All of the goodies aside, know that the greatest appreciation that we get as a faculty is the trust and support that the parents of Craig High share with us every day. That and the home-baked goods are tops on our list! On behalf of the teachers of Craig High, thank you.

Craig High NHS Collecting SPRING CLOTHING for the Hazel Project: Last year, thanks to 11th grader Ava and the Lagomarsino family, CHS was introduced to the Hazel Project, a local non-profit movement that began here in Montville. The Hazel Project adheres to the principles of harm reduction in society by supporting those in need, including the growing number of homeless throughout the tri-state area. This year, they are holding a SPRING CLOTHING DRIVE for people in need.
The CHS National Honor Society will be leading the charge and has set up HAZEL BOXES and blanketed the schools with flyers. We will be collecting SPRING CLOTHING (Light Jackets, Hoodies, Jeans, Long and Short Sleeve T-Shirts, Sneakers, Blankets, and Baseball Hats) for the next couple of weeks (through MAY 23rd). It is a great opportunity to clean out your drawers and closets as we make that transition into our Spring Wardrobes! Students can drop off donations during morning arrival.
SAVE THE DATE-CHS Student Celebration Ceremony and Cookout THURSDAY, May 22nd: We will be hosting our Spring Student Celebration Ceremony on Thursday, May 22nd, at 12:30PM in the CHS Gym. The Celebration will be followed by our annual spring cookout. It will be a regular school day for our students, and Parents are welcome to join us at the CHS gym after 12PM. The Ceremony will start at 12:30PM and you can RSVP to Mrs. Mershimer at DMershimer@craigschool.org
Craig High School-Class Rings 2025: A few of our CHS seniors, Jada, Chloe, and Maddie, designed their very own Class of 2025 Graduation Rings. Using the Josten Rings website, they chose everything from the inscriptions to the center stone. All rings had their grad year and names or initials. Chloe chose an Art Pallet to represent her heading to an Art College and a Badger to show her love of Craig! The various stones included Aquamarine, Rose, and Jade!
REMINDER- PROM Tickets 2025 “The Greatest Show on Earth” Tickets on Sale: The CHS PROM is this week but there is still time to get your tickets.
Full catered dinner, student-generated song list, Carnival Games and Prizes. Something for everyone! Tickets are $70 (check payable to “Craig School” secures your tickets), and students are welcome to bring guests (siblings, friends, anyone but parents!). And as demanded by tradition and our student body, THURS, MAY 15th, following the Prom will be a DELAYED OPENING (9:30 AM Arrival, 10 AM Classes), so let your Transportation Companies know. We already did, but a reminder goes a long way.
CHS Chemistry-Making Water the Fun Way: In the CHS Chemistry Lab, our students have been exploring chemical reactions, which explains all of the loud noises coming from our 2nd floor. Recently, they created water, which on the surface doesn’t sound super exciting. But we have the video to prove otherwise (MAKING WATER THE FUN WAY 13-SEC VID)!
Our student scientists ignited a mixture of Oxygen and Hydrogen gases, which instantaneously turned into water, or more specifically, the steam version of water. As far as we know, the bottle ended up in Boonton.
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.
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)
