James Caldwell HS Students Show Teacher Appreciation With Video

CALDWELLS, NJ — Recently, teachers at James Caldwell High School offered a heartfelt video to boost the spirits of their students as they cope with the coronavirus crisis.

Last week, it was their pupils’ turn to say “thanks.”

In recognition of Teacher Appreciation Week, more than 100 students and families from the high school pitched in for a video tribute to local educators. (Watch the video below)

In April, John Bertollo, vice principal at the high school, released a video tribute to the JCHS class of 2020, who have been living through one of the most challenging times in recent U.S. history.

More than 80 people – including JCHS teachers – contributed heartfelt messages to the effort, including U.S. Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill of the 11th District, Caldwell Mayor John Kelley, West Caldwell Mayor Joseph Tempesta Jr., Board of Education President Marie Lanfrank and Superintendent James Heinegg.
