Happy 209th Birthday, Fanwood! We asked our students & staff what makes Fanwood so special — their answers say it all. Here's to 209 years of community, pride, and home. 💙 #Fanwood209 #NYSD #FanwoodProud #ASL #DeafHistory

NYSD Fanwood turns 209 today! We celebrated with Fanwood Historian Linda Mosca-Ginis '77, fascinating history, & delicious cupcakes! Our history is the foundation of who we are and who we will become. Grateful for 209 years.#Fanwood209 #NYSD #ASL #DeafHistory #FanwoodProud
