Week of July 7th, 2025

Students in our summer program at A.P. Morris Early Childhood Center are learning about the Earth! They are engaging with Earth Friends as part of the Climate Literacy for Community Resilience Grant. Shout out to our teachers and students for engaging in sustainability education! Great work to our Science and Mathematics supervisors Ms. Corona and Ms. Della Valle for acquiring the grant!

Today, July 8th, 2025, the founders of Lectec (@golectec), Luke and Jared, visited Hillside High School to engage with students in our BeAble Summer Academy who constructed Lectec skateboards! Students got to ride the skateboards outside today, and they had an absolute blast! Shout out to Superintendent Glover who attended today's class as well as News 12 New Jersey (@news12nj) which came to cover Lectec's technology at Hillside Public Schools! Thank you to our Science and Math Supervisors, Ms. Corona, and Ms. Della Valle!
