Students and staff were all for one at the Hillside Intermediate School on Wednesday, January 15.
Hillside participated in the January “One and All” lesson during extended homeroom on the morning of January 15.
The lesson focused on the significance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his tireless efforts to stand against hate, prejudice, and racism.
Hillside staff said “We believe that our students share more in common than not, and that they learn best in environments that foster respect and celebrate diversity.”
As part of the lesson, students engaged in the “Hands of Hope” activity, which encouraged them to reflect on ways we can work together to foster empathy, kindness, and a stronger sense of community.
The goal of this activity was to provide students with the opportunity to express how they can do their part to contribute in making our community and the world a better place.
By sharing their thoughts through creative expression, they were able to actively engage in the message of unity and understanding that Dr. King championed.

The voyage of the Mayflower was launched from the Hillside Intermediate School.
Rebecca Czekaj recently guided her 6th grade Science students at Hillside through a fun STEM challenge: The Mini Mayflower.
Students were given one sheet of foil, one straw, scissors, one sheet of paper, tape and glue (by request) and were challenged to build a boat that would hold the most pilgrims (pennies).
The students tested their designs in a tub of water. The winning boat was able to hold 150 pennies plus a few nickels and a few marbles!
Great work, Ms. Czekaj!
