Today (5/28/2026), the New Jersey Sustainable Greenhouse Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony was held in the Garden area of Hillside High School! This greenhouse will extend the planting season where students can engage year-round in hands-on learning through gardening, sustainability initiatives, environmental exploration, and greenhouse activities! This project was funded by a $10,000 grant through the Sustainable Jersey Grants Program funded by the NJEA. After the ribbon cutting, Hillside Public Schools' Kindergarten classes participated in special garden-themed activities celebrating this exciting new learning space! Shoutout to the Hillside High School Garden Club @hillsidehsgardenclub), Ms. Ambrose, Dr. Baskerville, Principal Emenaka, Sustainable NJ (@sustainable_jersey), the New Jersey Education Association (@insta_njea) Acting Superintendent Dr. Pérez, the Hillside Board of Education, Mr. DeFluri and the Buildings and Grounds Department, B.A. McNeil, (@gardenofedithfd), our students, and more!
