Hudson Montessori recently held their annual Social Studies Fair on May 11th, and the theme was “Our Journeys” and included a student expo showcasing migration patterns of animals, people, Jersey City, and the school’s history.

In previous years, the Hudson Montessori School students have displayed great knowledge and understanding of themes like Save Our Biomes and Great Explorations. Hudson Montessori School also celebrated their 10 year anniversary!!

Kicking off the event was an opening ceremony with a special award presentation to the Jersey City Free Public Library for its everlasting commitment to making knowledge and learning accessible to the community. Each year, the school selects an organization or member of the community that demonstrates Montessori principles in their endeavors. The Jersey City Free Public Library was elected to receive the award by a voting process that included more than 600 of the school’s parents, teachers, and staff.

After the opening ceremony, the fair and carnival  began with a student exposition, outdoor street carnival with bouncy houses, activities, arts and crafts and sponsored tables from local businesses, delicious bites from local food truck vendors along Regent Street, and musical and dance performances! It was a beautiful day!
