Our talented 7th grade students put on a great performance. We are so proud of the hard work, creativity, and teamwork that went into this production.
A special thank you to the Arts Lab Residency Program and Morris Arts for their support. The residency was made possible through a partnership with Young Audiences Arts for Learning New Jersey & Eastern Pennsylvania with funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.
This production would not have been possible without the support of our JPHCS staff, including Mr. Nelson, Ms. Jaffa, and the 7th Grade Team.
A special thank you to our Teaching Artist, Aiden Martinez, for sharing his talent and guidance with our students.

Some of our 8th graders planted 250 daffodils yesterday to help beautify our shared campus as part of JPHCS’s community service mission! 🌼
A huge thanks to City Green for the bulbs and continued support! This is the second year that JPHCS is a grantee of their Tree, Bulb and Native Perennial Grant Program. The “Dig In!” program is funded by the Passaic County Board of County Commissioners.
We can’t wait until Spring to see the flowers bloom. @citygreennj @passaiccountynj
