SRLA's Got Talent

Students and parents were treated this week to a talent show presented by some of SRLA's shining stars! Many thanks to all the performers, the incredibly hard-working stage crew, and especially to Ms. Hilliard and Mrs. Muller for masterfully coordinating the show!

We ❤️ Our SRLA Teachers!

We are grateful for SRLA's dedicated teachers every day, but they got special recognition this week for all of their hard work and support of our students!

Thank you to our wonderful committee members for coordinating this week's celebrations: Kerry Barberan, Liz Detwiler, Monica Jones, Ann Laskowski, and Mitzi Praizner.

Cyber-bullying Information Night

The SRLA H.S.A. presents a screening of the nationally-acclaimed documentary

The Upstanders

Building Resilience and Empathy to Stand Against Cyber-bullying

Wednesday, May 11, 2022 at 7:00 pm

St. Rose of Lima Church

The screening is followed by a presentation and Q&A by Millburn Township Detective Socrates Barbosa.

The Upstanders examines cyber-bullying from the perspectives of the bully, the victim and the onlooker, providing practical tips and resources to change the narrative—to stand up, speak out and support—and become an Upstander, not a Bystander.

Parents and children ages 10+ are welcome to attend. The film is rated for children 10+ only.
