About Luna De Papel:
In a world where everyone is increasingly used to working with electronic devices, at Luna de Papel they take a step back and focus on practical life skills that teach an appreciation for handcrafts. Children today are used to instant gratification, this can stifle the ability to strive for long-term goals. Handcrafts take commitment but they teach children that they can achieve great things if they take them one step at a time. At Luna de Papel, they teach children how to “create”. When they learn to create, they know that they can control their environment, which builds tremendous self-esteem. Their goal is to build self-esteem through more approachable, authentic, and sustainable self-expression than simple art.

Middle School Information Session in Jersey City

Middle School Information Session in Jersey City
As Jersey City grows and families decide to stay in the area as their children get older, parents have requested more information about the Middle School options in Jersey City and Hoboken.

JCFamilies are organizing a Middle School Information Session on December 10th from 5:30 pm-7:30 pm. The idea for this event is to provide options for parents and give them information about the local middle schools in the area. Do you want to know the process of applying for Middle Schools like Academy 1, MS 4, Explore Middle School, or Infinity Institute? Then this session will be perfect for you!

Middle Schools participating in this information session are below:

Common Questions Answered:

1. The school does not provide bussing. The school district provides bus ticket applications to all students to determine if they qualify for public bus tickets. Middle school students must live at least 2.0 miles from the school.
2. Information about the process will be posted on the district website (www.jcboe.org). At this time, the district has not finalized the admissions process for the 2022-2023 school year. Once it has been finalized, the district will be sharing with both public and non-public school counselors and administrators. Last year, the application process was online. At this time, I do not know if it will be online or paper-based. We based the number admitted on the number of available open seats for the year. For next year’s 6th grade class, we look to admit 40- 50 students.
3. Our school’s curriculum is a blended curriculum of Cambridge University and the district’s approved ELA, Math, and Science curricula). Our 6th-grade students follow a 6th grade blended curriculum. They do not follow a 7th-grade curriculum as in AEP.
4. Students are expected to receive homework assignments every night and possibly in all subjects each night.

Calling Young Innovators: Enter Franklin School’s Competition!
2022-04-01 08:00 - 17:00 | 88 Town Square Place, Jersey City, 88 Town Square Place, Jersey City, 07302, United States
Calling Young Innovators: Enter Franklin School’s Competition!
Franklin, a visionary new high school opening this fall in Newport, is kicking off Franklin Student Ventures, an incubator for student-entrepreneurs, with a competition open to all students in grades 6-11 in the greater Jersey City community!
Franklin’s Director of Innovation, Jaymes Dec, describes the competition as similar to “Shark Tank for teenagers to pitch their ideas designed to meet a challenge or solve a problem in their local community.”
A Bit of Background
“Our new school offers a personalized approach to project-based learning, and Franklin Student Ventures is an excellent example,” explains Mr. Dec. “In our incubator, we will support students as they conceive of an idea for their own business, non-profit, or service project and learn how to turn it into a reality with guidance and mentorship. They will learn design thinking skills to identify a problem, research and prototype a solution, and test and refine it. These entrepreneurial skills are increasingly important for success in our rapidly changing working world. We also want to help young innovators in our community succeed through the competition.”
About the Competition
Just like in the School’s incubator, participants entering Franklin’s Young Innovators’ Competition will have the opportunity to bring their ideas to fruition. Mr. Dec says, “We will select the ideas that offer the best potential for being impactful, innovative, and feasible and invite participants to present them to a panel of local entrepreneurs and innovators for consideration. Competition winners will be awarded:
Cash grants up to $1,000 to kickstart their idea
$2,500 Young Innovator Scholarship for Franklin students entering grade 9
$5,000 Innovation Scholarship for Franklin students entering grades 10 or 11
Mentorships with local entrepreneurs
Tips for Teens Entering the Virtual Competition
✓ Identify a problem in your community: Your community might be your block, your neighborhood, your city — or it might be your School, or maybe just a group of friends or family. Once you see something that this community needs or could be improved, try to clarify the problem and identify the root causes.
✓ Survey the community: Talk to community members about the problem or issue you identified. See if they also believe that it needs to be addressed. Discuss possible solutions, and think about the fastest and easiest way to test your solutions.
✓ Write your brief pitch: With only two minutes to pitch your idea virtually, it’s essential to be as concise as possible:
Introduce yourself and identify the community you would like to help.
What is the core problem you identified?
What is your solution?
What do you need to help implement your solution? Do you need seed money to get started? Access to other kinds of resources? Mentorship? Community support?
✓ Practice your pitch: It’s a good idea to practice at least ten times before recording yourself pitching your idea.
Make sure that you speak clearly.
You don’t have to memorize your pitch, but make sure to finish within two minutes.
✓ Enter the competition!
Parental permission is required to enter via this consent form.
Once received, you and your parent will receive a link to enter. For additional information, visit the Franklin website.
The deadline for submission is April 1.
Good luck!

Luna De Papel Summer Camp
2022-06-20 09:00 - 2022-08-29 16:00 | Luna De Papel, 321 Communipaw Ave, Jersey City, NJ
Luna De Papel Summer Camp
Hey families! Join Luna De Papel for summer camp this year! The camp is 11 weeks of activities, 4 handcrafting skills to learn + interactive games, and fun activities to engage your kiddos all summer.
Activities include:
* Outdoor space
* Pizza Fridays
* Slime Making
* Candle Making
* Knitting & Crocheting
* Sewing & Embroidery
* Weaving
* Painting ( canvas painting)
Sign up today at: www.lunadepapel.us
About Luna De Papel:
In a world where everyone is increasingly used to working with electronic devices, at Luna de Papel they take a step back and focus on practical life skills that teach an appreciation for handcrafts. Children today are used to instant gratification, this can stifle the ability to strive for long-term goals. Handcrafts take commitment but they teach children that they can achieve great things if they take them one step at a time. At Luna de Papel, they teach children how to “create”. When they learn to create, they know that they can control their environment, which builds tremendous self-esteem. Their goal is to build self-esteem through more approachable, authentic, and sustainable self-expression than simple art. They offer a ton of classes and camps for kids.

School Readiness Workshop
2022-08-10 10:30 - 11:30 | Van Vorst Park, Jersey City , United States
School Readiness Workshop: A Discussion on Preparing Little Ones & Parents for the World of Daycare and Preschool
How can I best prepare for my child to start school?
For each parent individually, this decision should not be taken lightly. However, before considering the pros and cons of preschool education, parents must first and foremost consider their family situation. For many parents who work full-time, entering their child into daycare or preschool is not always a result of desire but of necessity, and for those parents fortunate enough not to require full-time care, the child’s need for socialization and academics weighs heavily as the child ages.
Join us for A Discussion on Preparing Little Ones for the World of Daycare and Preschool and Parents: Reentering the Workplace After Childbirth. This workshop will be held at the gazebo at Van Vorst Park, Jersey City on Wednesday, August 10th from 10:30 am-11:30 am by the Preschool Administrator of 12 years, Erin Kahy.

During the workshop, there will be a discussion on preparing your little one for the world of school and beyond child preparation to prepare yourselves as parents for this new journey. The discussion will also head into breastfeeding/pumping while at the office, introducing a bottle, and separation anxiety for children of all ages.
Children are welcome to join the workshop. Please bring a blanket to sit on as there will be no seating. We will be at the gazebo at Van Vorst Park.

This workshop is free to attend but registration is required.
