Ms. Tenreiro and two colleagues, one from Newark and one from Ridgewood, designed two Microscopy lessons which they taught to their colleagues at the New Jersey Forensic Science Education Conference. These lessons were refined and then taught to our JumpStart students last month!

From June 26th to June 30th, 2024, the JETS (Junior Engineering and Technology Club) at Hillside High School participated in the National TSA (Technology Student Association) Conference in Orlando, Florida. The conference sessions boosted students' critical thinking skills, by engaging them in a design/build challenge, multiple-choice exam, and presentation. The experience strengthened students' confidence in STEM and enhanced teamwork skills! With a focus on solving complex problems together, participants tackled the exciting theme of "Engineering Another World,” looking at problem-solving techniques, time management techniques, and planning strategies. Great work, JETS students and Ms. Ebong!

The gardens were inaugurated with an event day that invited the Pre-K and Kindergarten classes to mimic the four stages of the Monarch Butterfly, from the larvae stage to the Butterfly stage!

Pre-K and Kindergarten students visited Hillside High School's Garden Club to tour the new Monarch Butterfly Gardens and participate in activities that mimic the life stages of the Monarch Butterfly! Students joined in storytime, yoga, nature hide-and-seek, squirming through wiggle tunnels and having an upside-down hangout session like a caterpillar, being wrapped up in and breaking out of a paper chrysalis, painting, planting seeds, getting face paint and making seed bombs. The high schoolers had a wonderful time hosting and leading the sessions! All the kids were equally excited to meet each other, teach, and learn about Monarch Butterflies and how to save them. Children received butterfly bookmarks and stickers and their classes were gifted with an English and Spanish copy of "Monarch, Come Play with Me!" A NJ Sustainable School Grant @sustainable_jersey funded this event! Thank you to all the teachers who made this event possible including our Garden Club advisors Mrs. Ambrose and Mrs. Comerchero!
