Over the winter, Attales Crusader Inc. students met with Mr. and Mrs. Hubner, owners of the local College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving Atlantic City franchise in Absecon to learn about the business and to design a poster advertisement, as part of this entrepreneurship and marketing elective at the middle school.

Congratulations to 7th Grader Quinn Broomhead for creating the winning design, chosen by the owners. College Hunks will use the flyer and poster to advertise their warehouse!

Pod 3 put their best foot forward at the Preschool Showcase on Thursday, June 11! What a great show for our families and friends to celebrate the end of another successful school year.

It was a morning full of sunshine and smiles at our Pod 2 Preschool Showcase held on Wednesday, June 10!

Join us for an information session on Thursday, June 18 at 1:30 p.m. in the Marsh Cafeteria to learn about the district's plan for implementation of the state's newly mandated cell phone ban policy for school districts. The law goes into effect on Sept. 1, 2026.

On Friday, June 5, our 5th graders at Attales experienced a powerful history lesson. Mrs. Sharpley organized an assembly featuring Jeffrey Zeiger, the son of a Holocaust survivor, who movingly shared his family’s story of resilience.

To honor these memories, the class planted silk daffodils outside as part of the worldwide Daffodil Project, creating a living monument for hope and remembrance. Mrs. Sharpley said the project would continue at Attales for years to come.

Way to go, 5th grade! 💛

There is still time to make your voice heard and vote for the names of the sheep and goat at our Therapy Animal Farm!
