In just a few years our foundation has distributed over $96,000 across the three Tri-District schools: Atlantic Highlands Elementary, Highlands Elementary, and Henry Hudson Regional High School. Our funding enhances STE@M programming, blending Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Athletics, and Mathematics to give our students hands-on experience in problem solving and innovation. |
Congratulations to our esteemed president, Corinna Thuss, who was nominated for the 2018 Junior League of Monmouth County "Women Making A Difference" Community Volunteer Award! Well deserved!

KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS are GETTING A HEAD START ON STE@MThe kindergarten classes of Atlantic Highlands have been enjoying new STEM kits that were purchased by the Education Foundation. The new kits are being used with the STEM table and are updates on the kits that were purchased last year.
This year Mrs. Corey and Mrs. Evans wanted to expand on the learning since the children loved the activities so very much. "We kicked off the year with the story of the Gingerbread Man. Each class read a few different versions of the story. To compliment the story, we used our new Gingerbread Man STEM kit. "The children needed to work together in teams to try to build a boat, bridge, etc. to try to get the Gingerbread Man across the water and away from the townspeople and fox. The children had to draw out a plan, execute the plan, and test the plan. "Everyone had a great time experimenting with different ways to help the Gingerbread Man. Up next will be our new Goldilocks and the Three Bears kit. The children will try to build new chairs for the characters to sit in without them breaking. All of this is so very exciting for the children and the teachers, too! Thank you to the foundation for your generous support!" |
