Teacher Appreciation Week

Hair Love Day at PS#34 included the following: a presentation from Assemblywoman Angela McKnight to discuss the importance of the Crown Act whose goal is to stop discrimination based on one's natural or ethnic hairstyles, students making digital flyers in support of the Crown Act, students making decorative crowns for their heads, students creating a digital hair magazine, and students being taught proper hair care routines by visiting stylists. Jersey City Council Members Denise Ridley, Mira Prinz-Arey, Council President Joyce Watterman, and Board members Afaf Muhammad and Gina Verdibello also visited the school to be a part of our Black History festivities. We would like to thank everyone for their continued support.

We would like to congratulate our PS #34 Spelling Bee Winners Sabina and Cayden and wish them luck as they advance to the Jersey City Spelling Bee. Cayden will be representing grades 5-8 and Sabina will be representing grades 6-8. Sabina will also be participating in the Hudson County Spelling Bee. Congratulations again for a Job well done!

The Jersey City Public Schools has partnered with the Jersey City Public Library to create an outreach program to provide students the opportunity to either obtain a library card or renew their library card. Please give this google form link to parents/ guardians, so parents can decide if they would like to give their permission and the information needed for their child to either update or receive a card. Library cards are renewed every three years to remain activated. In addition, if a student has had a fine in the past or did not return a book, those fines and book returns will be waived. The google form will populate the information that the Public Library needs to issue the card. Then, the Public Library will distribute students’ cards to the students in your school during June. A library card can also give students access to the online ebook and audiobook app, HOOPLA, where students can check out books and read them on their phone or electronic device. In addition, there will be some novel choices on the High School Summer reading list that can be obtained at a library location in Jersey City or on Hoopla.
