55 miles. 5 days. Every member across the finish line. 🥾

After five days on the Appalachian Trail, the newest members of the St. Benedict’s Prep community have reached the Delaware Water Gap and earned their Trail Patch.

Through rain, steep climbs and unforgettable views, students put leadership, perseverance and community into practice. The Trail isn’t about who gets there first. It’s about making sure everyone reaches the finish together.

Congratulations to every student who completed The Trail and earned their Trail Patch, joining generations of Gray Bees who have made the same journey before them. 🐝

Dr. Ivan Lamourt, Psy.D. ’82, Charlsey Sheib, M.A. and Judith Ferreira of the Grossman Family Counseling Center recently spoke at the Newark Museum’s Spring Leadership Retreat: Joining Forces, Expanding Impact. The presentation focused on the importance of Social Emotional Learning and supporting the whole child through counseling, mentoring and strong school-family partnerships.

The panel discussed the growing social and emotional challenges students face today including anxiety, academic pressure, peer conflict and stress. The presentation also highlighted the importance of early intervention and creating safe, supportive and inclusive school environments where students feel heard, respected and connected.
