Spring Lake, NJ - Our Community



Spring Lake is a small town in Monmouth County, New Jersey. It's right on the Atlantic Ocean! Families and visitors enjoy the lovely streets, shops, recreational activities and closeness to New York City and Philadelphia. Trenton is our state capitol but Newark is our largest city.

Known as the Garden State, we are next to New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the ocean.

H. W. Mountz School

The important thing about our school is that it's
the place where we come to learn.
Our school is red and it has 3 floors.
We have Kindergarten to 8th grade classes.

Computer Lab

Gym

In our classroom we learn about reading, math, science, new places,
maps, and using the computer.
We also learn about sharing, taking turns, and
being a good friend.
The school office is the place where you drop off
the attendance card.
Mr. Palmer, our principal, works there.
Our school nurse helps when we are hurt or get sick. 
In the Art room we get to make scarecrows, snakes,
and pictures of the ocean.
In the Music room, there's music on and you
play games and instruments.
We learn how to speak Spanish and play games
in the Spanish room.

Playground

Library

Library Swamp

We pick out books at Library and sometimes
use the computers.
We have our own computers to use in the computer lab and
we learn how to use them.
We read in the Library Swamp and sit on big, soft cushions.
In the lunchroom we eat and talk.
In Gym we play games like basketball.  Gym is fun!
The playground is good because you get to play tag.
We like to play soccer on the field.
But the important thing about our school is that it's
the place where we come to learn!
