Flemington-Raritan Regional School District
Every Student, Every Day, Every Opportunity
Summer may have just begun, but we're already looking ahead to an exciting new school year...and we need your help!
Students are invited to record a 15–30 second video sharing what you love about school, what excites you about learning, your hopes for the coming year, or a message for your teachers and school staff. Selected clips will be featured in a special back-to-school video for our faculty and staff in September.
📅 Videos are due by July 31. Email your student video to laura.bruhn@frsd.us.
Thanks for joining the fun. We can't wait to hear from you! Check out this flyer:

The Copper Hill PTO supported another year of Jumpstart to Kindergarten, a summer program designed to help students prepare for their transition into Kindergarten in the fall. During the camp, students toured the school and enjoyed visiting Mr. Lockett in his office. These Cougars are ready for learning!

Pollinator Garden Awareness & Advocacy -- Deputy Commissioner Director Kuhl toured the RFIS pollinator garden with the school's Garden Club and Garden Steward and Board of Education member, Julia Whitley. The County Commissioners were invited to the RFIS garden to raise awareness of Monarch butterflies as part of their effort to receive their third New Jersey Audubon Green Flag, the highest level of sustainability efforts in the ECO Schools program. The students shared that although they participate in several efforts to promote biodiversity and raise awareness, one task they needed the Commissioners and other local leaders help with is raising awareness about the importance of pollinators including Monarch butterflies.
During the tour the students shared with Commissioner Director Kuhls many attributes of the garden and the sustainability projects they are involved with in and outside the school building. They also shared their research on reducing pesticides, setting a late Spring start date for landscapers to use blowers, community trash clean up days, and how to incorporate native plants in the unfinished green wall on the Flemington circle. The students also made sure to ask him to sign the National Wildlife Federations Mayors’ Monarch pledge supporting Monarchs and pollinators.
A monarch butterfly fluttered through the milkweed and coneflowers, during the tour, showing its support and appreciation for the students' efforts to grow and protect more habitat. Way to go, Huskies!

This week, 4th graders at Copper Hill held an Economics Fair, which operates like a student led garage sale, to end their final Social Studies unit. Students made items, brought items from home, and created games to raise money for a charity that will be voted on in the coming days. The students raised over $1,000 by using many of the skills found within the economics unit taught by Mrs. Veneziano and Mrs. Staikos. The entire school was invited to attend and shop at the fair.
Many thanks to the 4th Grade Girl Scouts for their outstanding service project at Copper Hill School. The scouts spent time cleaning, weeding, and planting in front of the school building as well as in the Outdoor Learning Center. We are grateful for their hard work and dedication in helping to beautify the Copper Hill School grounds and enhance these spaces for our students and staff to enjoy.
