Yesterday the Halsted Staff kicked off our 2025-2026 school year with a great in-service day that began with an activity reminding us how kindness connects us all. Each staff member shared how they want to integrate more kindness into their everyday lives this year!
This summer, students at the Summer Learning Academy are diving into discovery with the vibrant camp theme, Grow Wild, Grow Wise. Students explored the great outdoors through engaging activities like nature hikes, including the Braves Trail, tree and plant identification, and rock exploration during a special trip to Sterling Mines. Each day includes journaling and nature-inspired art projects to spark creativity and reflection. Students also cooled off with swimming at the town pool and participated in fun, hands-on SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) lessons through our exciting partnership with NJ4S. It's a summer full of growth, adventure, and wisdom in the wild!
