Week of Respect Omega-Man & Friends visit CLarendon School!!Omega-Man & Friends school presentation has been a valuable tool in the hands of principals and school administrators across the nation! Those principals and administrators have commented that the content and presentation of our assemblies has been life changing for their students and faculty! They have seen students, including those “at risk”, plucked off the road to failure and planted onto a road of success. We desire to offer this unique tool for your use.After holding hundreds of school assemblies and talking to countless principals and administrators a common need surfaced. There is a need to bring a message of hope to our children in these extreme times. Today, our children are faced with a wide-range of distractions and pitfalls in achieving their destiny. The assemblies provide students with the means to prevent them from becoming a statistic while reinforcing the positive growth areas that include scholarship and character building emphasized by your school staff.

However, birds also use beaks to pick up building materials and construct their nests. But birds use beaks for even more. When they have to, birds use beaks and feet as weapons to defend themselves, their nests, and their chicks.Birds use beaks for drinking, feeding their young, and preening.
#IT STARTS WITH HELLO DAY Clarendon School in Secaucus, NJ celebrated along with schools across the country "It Starts With Hello" Day. This program teaches students to make a difference with their peers in a simple, fun and impactful way. Between 8:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., members of the Secaucus Police Department, Fire Department, Town Council, and Board of Education joined us in greeting students as they entered the front of the building. We said "Hello," by giving fist bumps, hand shakes, and high fives as the students enter the school.Later that morning, Clarendon students, faculty and staff formed the word "HELLO" in the field to promote connectedness and demonstrate kindness. "It Starts With Hello" is a Kindness Initiative teaching students to recognize that ONE smile can start a friendship, ONE word can end a fight, ONE person can change a life and ONE act of kindness can make a difference. Special thanks must go to the Secaucus Police Department, Fire Department, Town Council, and Board of Education for helping us start our day by greeting our students as they entered the building. Thank you to Mrs. Jaime Viggiano, Huber Street Guidance Counselor and Mr. Rob Valente, Huber Street Principal for sharing this incredible program with us. #ItStartsWithHello.
