On Friday, May 1, our 4th Grade G&T students from all four Glen Rock elementary schools headed to Bergen County’s Makerspace Day! Hosted by Waldwick Public Schools and organized by the Bergen County Consortium of Teachers of Gifted, this day was all about creativity and critical thinking. Our students teamed up with peers from across the county to tackle a major challenge: using the Engineering Design Process to build flood-resistant house prototypes.
We are beyond proud of how our students:
🤝 Collaborated with new friends.
💡 Innovated unique solutions.
💪 Persevered through every design hurdle.
Way to represent Glen Rock! 🪨🐾❤️
Day 4 of Read Across America Week at Hamilton: Readers Imagine and Create
Our Hamilton Huskies topped off the day by wearing their favorite hats to celebrate the joy of reading. From baseball caps to cozy beanies and everything in between, our hallways were full of personality and school spirit!
Students also enjoyed a special Read & Draw assembly led by our very own book connoisseur, Mrs. Tomaselli, who inspired students to bring stories to life through creativity and imagination.
We love celebrating books in fun and memorable ways.
The celebration also included a special school-wide performance of “Rainbow Connection,” where students and staff came together in song for a meaningful moment of unity. Thank you to Mr. Frey for helping create such a memorable experience for the Hamilton community.
In the afternoon, students continued the celebration by exploring hands-on cultural activities led by incredible country volunteers. Through interactive experiences and meaningful traditions, they had the opportunity to learn, create, and connect in authentic ways. A heartfelt thank you to all of the volunteers who shared their time, talents, and traditions to make the day so unforgettable!
Mrs. Falkenstern is a steady, compassionate presence for the Hamilton students, always going above and beyond to support their social, emotional, and academic growth. Her dedication, care, and commitment to our school community make a lasting impact each and every day.
Congratulations, Mrs. Falkenstern—this honor is so well deserved!
