Mrs Mongiello s class has fun using dry erase boards to practice phonics and spelling!

Mrs. Woeckner's class conducts structure fits function-bird beak activity. Students learned the number one use for the beak is to gather or capture food. 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.

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.
