LINDEN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, NJ -- In the season of giving, students in the Before and After School Program at School No. 2 are basking in the warmth of Thanksgiving! This past month, they embraced gratitude, creativity, and learning through a variety of engaging and meaningful activities that celebrated the spirit of the holiday.
At School No. 2, students explored Native American history and the cultural significance of teepees by crafting their own with paper and sticks—each one uniquely impressive!
They also painted beautiful watercolors while reflecting on and writing about everything they are thankful for, sharing heartfelt sentiments that captured the true essence of the season.
One of the highlights was Ms. Rivera’s captivating Thanksgiving story, which the students adored. Older students practiced their speech skills by reading aloud passages, while younger learners enjoyed the story together, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere.
The Linden Public Schools' Before and After School Program operates at all eight elementary schools, providing both morning and after-school care. Staffed by district teachers, secretaries, paraprofessionals, and instructional aides, the program offers a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where students receive homework support, participate in recreational and enrichment activities, and foster meaningful social connections.
According to Frances Czylek, Supervisor of the district's Before/After School Programs, the program’s dedicated staff create a safe, nurturing, enriching, and fun environment, bridging the gap between school and home while fostering academic success, socialization, and personal growth.
