On April 23, 2024, the Academic Decathlon team and the Art Club went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City @metmuseum. They were able to explore artwork and sculptures from different cultures over the centuries. Two of the special exhibits the students could view were the Harlem Renaissance and Indian Skies, which included paintings and drawings from India. The main reason for visiting the museum was to see two particular pieces that the Academic Decathlon studied this school year: "Jar with Dragon" and "Mummy with an Inserted Panel Portrait of a Youth." "Jar with Dragon" is from early fifteenth-century China. This jar is important because the blue and white porcelain used an innovative technique using ceramics. This porcelain became a huge source of trade. "Mummy with an Inserted Panel Portrait of a Youth" is from 80-100 CE in Egypt during the Roman period. This piece represents the combination of the Roman and Egyptian cultures. The people used Egyptian mummification techniques and Roman artwork! #hillsidenj #hillsidepublicschools #hillsidehighschool #metropolitanmuseum #newpride #newpathways #newpossibilities

On Wednesday, April 17th, 2024, 41 students from Hillside High School were treated to a vibrant celebration of Latin American and Spanish culture! The auditorium at the Breslin Performing Arts Center at Felician University, in Lodi NJ, transformed into a stage showcasing the rich tapestry of music and dance from across the region! Students swayed to the infectious rhythms of Salsa, with its roots in both Puerto Rico and Cuba. The dancers' intricate footwork and playful energy had the audience clapping along. Argentina took center stage next, with the passionate intensity of the Tango and the lively footwork of La Chacarera. Colombia brought the heat with El Vallenato's romantic melodies and the infectious energy of La Champeta. Students even had a taste of Spain's cultural richness, with the energetic El Chotis from Madrid and the mesmerizing spectacle of a live Tablao Flamenco. This showcase was a true testament to the incredible cultural richness of Latin America and Spain, leaving everyone wanting to learn more and move to the rhythm! Thank you to Mrs. Evelyn Okparaeke, Mrs. Vargas, Mrs. Moraga, Ms. Andino, and Madame Nezius from the World Language Department for taking our scholars to this cultural event! @felician_university #hillsidenj #hillsidepublicschools #worldlanguage #felicianuniversity #hillsidehighschool #newpride #newpathways #newpossibilities
