Washington Avenue School students and families collected more than 200 items over the past two weeks to donate to the CUMC Food Pantry ahead of the holidays. With the help of our first-grade students—who proudly carried the donations out for delivery to parent volunteers Mr. and Mrs. Perinotti - the items were delivered just in time to support the pantry during the busy holiday season.
CMS is proud to celebrate Lila Andreuccetti and our Student Council for leading a tremendously successful board-book drive to benefit Moms Helping Moms! With the guidance of advisors Mrs. Dangler and Coach Guerriero, students joined forces to collect and donate books that will help bring the joy of reading to families across New Jersey.
A wonderful display of teamwork, leadership, and compassion from our CMS community!

Students in Ms. Cafaro's AP Environmental Science Class presented their projects analyzing CHS’s resource consumption — covering electricity, water, waste, and transportation/fossil fuel use. They shared thoughtful, real-world solutions aimed at reducing our school’s ecological footprint. Great work!
The ongoing federal government shutdown continues to cause uncertainty regarding Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and its impact on student nutrition. On October 31, 2025 Governor Murphy signed Executive Order No. 402 which declared a State of Emergency due to suspension of benefits and implemented a statewide effort to ensure food access for residents. To support school district efforts to help meet their communities’ food assistance needs during this time, the Department will continue to keep school districts updated and share state resources as they become available.
The Murphy Administration’s SNAP Shutdown Updates website is regularly updated with the current status of benefits, as well as links to resources for those affected by the Federal suspension. This includes:
- New Jersey Basic Needs Information Hub: Get Food This Week
- NJ211 Hotline Provides Local Resources to Help Residents with Food, Housing, Crisis, and Health
- NJ211 Supplemental Food Resource Locations – Search a list of various supplemental food resources in your area
- New Jersey SNAP homepage
- Office of the Food Security Advocate: SNAP Benefits and Food Assistance
- Community Food Banks of New Jersey

Please help our talented CHS student artists win the Crosley Custom Cruiser contest! We are one of 250 schools chosen to customize a portable record player in keeping with the theme "Band Together." Our National Art Honor Society members sought to demonstrate that music has the power to unite generations by passing down favorite artists, stories, and memories of live music. At first glance, it's a cardboard box of memorabilia collected over decades, but upon closer examination, it is a record player emulating a live show!

What a historic weekend for CHS Athletics!
Our football team captured the division title, and our girls soccer team made history with their fifth consecutive County Championship — a first ever.
Even more incredible, both our boys and girls soccer teams won the Morris County Championships on the same night, marking the first time that teams from the same school achieved this feat. Congratulations to all of our athletes and coaches!
