Every June, our 5th Grade Team puts together a wonderful program to honor our fifth graders as they make their way into Middle School. June 19, 2020 is the day that we would have been celebrating our Clarendon School and Huber Street School students in a 5th Grade Promotion Ceremony at the Arthur F. Couch Performing Arts Center. Unfortunately, the quarantine of 2020 wouldn't allow us to gather together and celebrate the accomplishments of our emerging Middle Schoolers. That said, to honor our 5th Grade students, we have put together a virtual promotion ceremony. We know that nothing can replace watching your child walk across the stage, but we hope that our Elementary School Class of 2020 Virtual Ceremony helps to memorialize this life event for you and your family. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the faculty and staff of Clarendon School and Huber Street School. The hard-working professionals at these schools take great pride in educating your children. It is an honor and a privilege to work with these educators. We are proud to present the Secaucus School District Elementary School Class of 2020. Thank you, stay safe, enjoy the show and remember, there's no place like home! Sincerely, Dr. Danielle Garzon (Clarendon School Principal) Mr. Robert Valente (Huber Street School Principal) PS- We would like to offer a special thank you to Athletic Director, Charlie Voorhees for providing the inspiration for our address to the students.
