We are incredibly proud to announce that Mrs. Stephanie Fox and Mrs. Devon Suppa of W.R. Satz Middle School have been selected as recipients of the prestigious Princeton Prize for Distinguished Secondary School Teaching presented by Princeton University.
The Princeton Prize recognizes exceptional secondary educators across New Jersey who demonstrate excellence in teaching, inspire student learning, and make a lasting impact within their school communities. This year’s recipients were selected among outstanding secondary science educators throughout the state of New Jersey.
As part of this distinguished honor, each educator receives a monetary award and Satz School will also receive funding to support our school library program. Mrs. Fox and Mrs. Suppa exemplify the passion, dedication, innovation, and student-centered approach that make Satz School such a special place. Their commitment to fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and meaningful learning experiences for students is truly deserving of this recognition.

Students took a break from testing today to discuss what kindness means to them. They created notes of positivity and then made little trinkets out of clay to give to a special someone to let them know that they care for them! 🩵💙🤍
🎉Congratulations to 7th Grader Jillian Vincelli for placing 3rd in the America 250 Law Day Poetry Contest, hosted by the Monmouth Vicinage and Monmouth Bar Association! Jillian’s poem is titled “Loud But Loving: 250 Years,” and highlights how growing up in the United States is filled with finding your own identity, hope and coming together in times of need. Jillian also highlighted the chaos that can sometimes occur, but ultimately its hope that connects us all. Jillian will be celebrated at the Monmouth County Courthouse on June 3rd! 🇺🇸
