School was not in session on Wednesday, January 29, but teachers and staff were busy sharing educational lessons and recommendations in rooms across the Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District that day.
The school district’s PD (Professional Development) Day was held on January 29, when speakers held productive sessions on a wide range of topics at numerous school buildings throughout Bridgewater-Raritan.
Three Bridgewater-Raritan High School students–Lucia Bolle, Harsha Balamurugan and Kylie Rosander– were selected from a field of 350 to display their artworks at the Morris Museum.
According to the Morris Museum website, Fresh Perspectives is now in its 35th year. It shares superb works in various media, including photography, drawing, painting, digital art, and sculpture, created by New Jersey’s most talented young artists. Participants continue to inspire our community with their thought-provoking works and unique perspectives about art and the world around them.
The Fresh Perspectives 2025 exhibition and accompanying online catalog will display the 50 entries recognized by the museum’s panel of three jurors. The exhibition is on view from February through May.
According to Sarah Nassan, Bridgewater-Raritan High School Art Teacher, the contest received applications for works of art created by nearly 350 students, representing 43 schools in 10 New Jersey counties. The 50 works selected by a panel of jurors included the three gifted Bridgewater-Raritan High School student artists. The gallery at the museum, which is located in Morris Township, is open to the public.
Here are the titles of the artwork by the three Bridgewater-Raritan High School students.
