Local author Kayla Miller visited students in grades 3-5 to give engaging, interactive presentations about writing and illustrating comics. She shared practical tips and tricks for developing characters, planning panels, and using visual storytelling effectively. During the sessions, students followed along step-by-step and were guided through the process of creating their own single-page comic. This program was funded by The NPCSD Foundation for Student Enhancement.

Lenape submitted pieces in The 2026 NYS Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.Student Art and Essay Exhibit. The theme this year is based on Dr. King’s principles for creating and sustaining a “Beloved Community.”

Original art and essays are currently on display in the hallway. We are very proud of our student’s efforts to create a beloved community at Lenape.

Thank you to Ms. Sheppard for organizing and submitting the pieces.

Dr. PInk Orthodontics visits Lenape 3rd grade to share how to take care of their teeth. Students answered questions and won prizes. Each student got a goodie bag with dental supplies to take home.

Students explored how the height of the track affects both the impact of a collision and the amount of energy transferred. They discovered that when the track was higher, the car gained more energy, which turned into greater motion and stronger collisions at the bottom. Through observing, predicting, and recording results, students saw clear cause-and-effect connections: higher track faster car stronger collision more energy transferred. It was an energizing way to bring real-world science to life!

As the holiday season approaches, we’re reminded of the importance of caring for those who may be facing challenges. For many years, the Lenape faculty, staff, students, and families have come together to brighten the holidays for local families by providing gifts and support. This tradition continues to be a meaningful experience—not only for the recipients, but for everyone who takes part in giving. 

This year, we are excited to continue this meaningful tradition. We will be
accepting donations of new, unwrapped gifts through December 15. An Amazon
Gift Registry titled Lenape Holiday Drive 2025 has been created with specific
requests from families. Gift cards to clothing, grocery or department stores are also
a wonderful option. Donations may be dropped off at the Lenape front entrance
with our front desk monitor. If you purchase an item from the Amazon Gift
Registry, you may choose to have it shipped directly to the school. Please note that
we cannot accept used items. Thank you in advance for your kindness and
generosity in supporting this special project.
