Hillside Public Schools' K–3 Climate Literacy Pilot Teachers are kicking off an exciting year as part of the New Jersey Department of Education (@newjerseydoe) Climate Literacy Grant! Mr. Stuart Newman, Bureau Chief of the Bureau of Recycling & Planning from the County of Union Department of Engineering, Public Works & Facilities Management, shared an engaging overview of sustainability and climate change topics that are especially relevant to Union County! Our teachers then collaborated to design student-led resilience projects that will empower students to take action throughout the year.
