Please remember that this week, we will hold Back to School Nights at each school beginning with K-3 elementary schools today, Monday, September 14th , Project Before and the high school on Tuesday, September 15th , the middle school on Wednesday, September 16th , and the upper elementary school on Thursday, September 17th . Likewise, please note that students and faculty will be dismissed early on Friday, September 18th . Please also remember that our schools will be closed next, Mond ay, September 21st in observance of Yom Kippur . In the Schools Thanks to our magnificent instructional staff, our students had a very productive and fun week of learning last week. At all our schools, students and staff took the time to remember all the courageous and innocent souls we lost 25 years ago on September 11, 2001, during the horrific attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, along with those on United Airlines Flight 93 who perished in a field in Somerset County, PA. Arleth At the Arleth School, students and staff commemorated the 25th anniversary of September 11th by contributing a handprint to create a large American Flag. Using red, white, and blue construction paper, the children’s handprints were carefully placed to form the stars and stripes. The finished piece visually represented the idea that “United Hands, United We Stand” in remembrance of 9/11. This collaborative flag stands as a powerful symbol of unity, patriotism, and respect for those who lost their lives and for the first responders who served on that day. It was deeply moving to watch students of all ages work together on a single shared purpose, each leaving their own mark as part of something larger than themselves. The flag is now on display in the long hallway where it serves as a daily reminder of community, resilience, and national remembrance. In Project Before, at the Selover School, students had a blast water painting in Miss Emy's class. Bombers Beyond In the Bombers Beyond 18-21-Year-Old program, the Bombers Beyond Cafe officially opened for the 2026-2027 school year. Visual & Performing Arts In visual and performing arts, Joey Bronne wowed the crowd at the SWMHS Football game with his extraordinary electric guitar rendition of the National Anthem. We are always so impressed and inspired by our incredibly talented students. They never cease to amaze us! Athletics In athletics, we congratulate SWMHS Girls Soccer player Emma Halmo for being named the TAPinto Raritan Bay Athlete of the Week . Staying on the pitch, Emma and the SWMHS Girls Soccer Team defeated Piscataway High School to improve their season record to 3-1. Likewise, the SWMHS Boys Soccer Team beat Woodbridge High School to earn their first win of the season. On the court, the SWMHS Girls Volleyball Team improved their season record to 4-1 after defeating New Brunswick High School. The SWMHS Girls Tennis Team won three matches last week over Highland Park, Woodbridge, and Union High Schools to even their season record at 3-3. On the field, the SWMHS Field Hockey Team defeated South Brunswick and North Plainfield High Schools to improve their record to 2-1. Lastly, on the gridiron, the SWMHS Football Team also improved their record to 2-1 after beating Edison High School. Win or lose, all our amazing student athletes continued to compete fiercely and demonstrate the teamwork and sportsmanship that makes us all proud to be Bombers. Thus, we thank them and their coaches for their hard work, dedication, and the way they represent SWMHS and our community.
