The Washington School's Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Summer Program wrapped up with great success. Thanks to a summer packed with engaging activities! Students loved cooking chili-rubbed butternut squash quesadillas, getting creative with arts and crafts, painting party and enjoying a fun ice cream party.

We’re excited to kick off our 4th Annual Summer Program with 85 Young Marines enrolled with the help of the Union City High School MCJROTC cadets. This program helps our students build self-confidence, promote leadership skills, excel academically, honor veterans, and the importance of helping our community while promoting the mental, moral, and physical development of our Young Marines.

Please take a moment to read this very important message from our Union City Superintendent of Schools Silvia T. Abbato concerning Independence Day. Thank you for taking the time to review.

The Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Summer Program is off to a strong start at Washington School! Our young chefs cooked up tasty dishes with the help of Sticky Fingers Cooking Classes. They stayed active with fun in the sun at the pool & park. Then got creative with STEM, building awesome Marble Mazes in teams! It’s only the beginning and we can’t wait to see what the rest of the summer brings!

On June 19th, we celebrate the 160th Anniversary of the end of slavery in 1865 in the United States, which is known today as Juneteenth. It is a combination of the month of 'June' and the 'nineteenth' day that commemorates the happy news of newly-freed slaves in Texas at the end of the Civil War.
