A Thank You to Englewood Rotarians Joan Van Alstyne Johnston '34 and Aleta Frezzell

"Thank you so very much for coming to The Elisabeth Morrow School to present dictionaries to our third grade students. This is a wonderful Rotary program. The children especially enjoyed having you here to share the mission of Rotary and personally present the dictionaries. Several children mentioned to me how impressive it was to meet someone from the very first EMS class (Joan Van Alstyne Johnston '34). Thank you both for being here."

3rd Grade Raises Money for The Hackensack Riverkeeper

Inspired by a recent trip to the Hackensack River, an educational experience focused raising awareness and sensitivity of the people of the Hackensack River watershed, the third grade students and teachers organized a bake sale for the Lower School Community at EMS.

Empowering our students with real world experiences like challenging difficult problems facing their generation is an integral piece of our curriculum. During the trip to the Hackensack River, students, parents and teachers all participated in a nature walk and boat ride through this fascinating urban ecosystem right in our own backyard. Inspired to protect our water supply and the wildlife and fish living in and near the river, the students and teachers organized a bake sale held on campus. The proceeds will be directly donated to the Hackensack Riverkeeper Inc. www.hackensackriverkeeper.org

Bye Bye Butterflies (2)

Yesterday morning, the Three-Year-Old  and PreKindergarten had the opportunity to watch  C-1's butterflies being released.  Chilton House classes learned about and observed the life cycle of butterflies in their classrooms over the past few weeks.  The students are excited at the prospect of seeing "their" butterflies fluttering around our beautiful campus in the days to come.
