Do you know which states border Lake Michigan or where Mount Kilimanjaro is located? Many of P.J. Gelinas and R.C. Murphy junior high schools’ seventh and eighth grade students demonstrated their knowledge of these and many other topics as social studies teachers administered geography quizzes in their classrooms this January to identify class representatives for the schools’ buildingwide Geography Bees.

On Tuesday, Jan. 14, students showcased their geographic knowledge during building-level Geography Bees, facilitated by Dr. Cone, Mr. Ehlers, Mr. Pelosi and Ms. Waite. Congratulations to our P.J.

Students in the Spirit of Giving with Stuff-A-Bus

The Murphy Junior High School student government carried out its annual Stuff-A-Bus campaign on Dec. 17, collecting hundreds of toy donations from students across the district. Murphy students rode in a school bus to Mount, Minnesauke and Arrowhead Elementary Schools, collecting donations the elementary students received during their respective toy drives. They loaded up the bus with toys, puzzles, books and games, which will be brought to the Gerald J. Ryan Outreach Center in Wyandanch.
