What an unforgettable day at the ballpark for our EIS students! ⚾️ Not only did we cheer the Somerset Patriots to a thrilling victory, but we also got a front-row seat to see Yankees stars Anthony Volpe and Gerrit Cole in action. From the sunny weather to the big win, it was the perfect "home run" of a field trip!

This week, our 7th grade students had the wonderful opportunity to visit the MLK of Westfield’s African-American of Westfield Pop-up Museum in our media center during their social studies classes. To prepare for the visit, students previewed documentaries on the local history of African-Americans in Westfield, which provided meaningful context and deepened their understanding of the exhibits on display. This annual tradition is a highlight of our Black History Month celebrations, and we are so grateful for the chance to engage with our community's rich heritage every year!
