Marlboro Middle School’s new swimming program is going—well—swimmingly! Students in Grades 6-8 have been boarding a bus to the Marlboro High School pool each week to take part in swimming lessons and aquatic activities during their Physical Education classes.
The curriculum, which was introduced at the Middle School this year, focuses on developing and enhancing basic stroke techniques, such as the front crawl, backstroke, and breaststroke, as well as teaching important safety precautions for swimming in both pools and open water. To help the students practice and continue to gain confidence in the water, they also compete in aquatic games that get them moving and having fun.
Marlboro held a District-wide Choral Day on April 9, similar to the Band Day which took place in February. Chorus members from Marlboro Elementary School, Marlboro Middle School, and Marlboro High School (MHS) came together in the MHS auditorium to rehearse songs and receive guidance from Choral Directors Susan Johnston, Stephanie Hu-Corbett, and Katie Budryk.
After rehearsals, the group united on stage for one final, culminating performance. It was a wonderful day of singing, collaboration, and fun!
