WEEK OF THE YOUNG CHILD:  The Week of the Young Child®, established by the NAEYC in 1971, is an annual celebration that highlights the needs of young children and their families while recognizing early childhood programs. It emphasizes the importance of the early years (birth to age 8) in laying the foundation for future success. This week encourages communities to plan how to better support young children's needs.  

 Congratulations to our Week of the Young Child tee-shirt design winners!!!

The fifth-grade students walked to their designated "build site" at the Korean War Memorial Park to brainstorm and generate ideas for their eMerge project designs. Their task is to create an eco-friendly school within Minecraft, while also addressing climate crisis challenges facing downtown Jersey City. In their designs, students will incorporate various forms of clean energy, aiming to create a sustainable and forward-thinking solution.

On Friday, April 11th, fourth and fifth grade students met with their pen pals from McNair Academic High School. The students have been exchanging letters and finally had the chance to meet in person, talk, and participate in some activities. Some of the McNair students even used to be Bradford Bears! 

until May, Bradford Bears...
