Today is Flag Day! Flag Day is celebrated every year on June 14th. "On this day 246 years ago, Congress created our national flag by commemorating Betsy Ross' creation of the Stars & Stripes." A.P. Morris Early Childhood Center held its Flag Day parade earlier this morning! Parents and families gathered around as A.P. Morris students paraded outside of the school building! Thank you, Principal Graham, Principal Palmer-Gilliard, A.P. Morris staff, Superintendent Glover, and the Hillside Board of Education!

Students, Heloysa Da Silva, Yosmeiri Rodriguez, and Camila Duchi Padilla use paintbrushes to gently transfer nearly 70 Monarch caterpillars over to Swamp Milkweed within the Hillside High School Garden grounds! 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!

On March 11th, A.P. Morris Early Childhood Center scholars participated in an assembly in which they asked questions about the attributes, habitats, and life span of a lizard, bearded dragon, hedgehog, owl, and chinchilla! The presenters provided excellent feedback about the attributes of the animals and how they are cared for. The scholars were engaged and displayed respect by maintaining a quiet environment to not scare the animals. After the show, the students were able to take pictures with the animals and buy merchandise. It was a wonderful experience for all! Thank you, @barnhillpreserve for visiting A.P. Morris and educating our students in a fun, engaging way with animals!
