Brooks Crossing and Deans Campus: “Ambassador to Universal Preschool!”

 

This Wednesday, we had an exciting morning at Deans. Governor Murphy and NJ Commissioner of Education Ms. Allen-McMillan visited Karen Delcampe's Preschool class and then participated in a lesson in Rachel Kline's preschool room. They finished with a press conference in the Deans Library, where Mrs. Kline was the first speaker and introduced Governor Murphy for his announcement of additional funding for preschool!

Please notify your child's teacher and [email protected] as soon as you know your travel plans for your child.
