Students in 1-Spaccavento are using CUPS as a strategy to self-edit empowers students to become successful, independent writers 📝
Our first-grade writers are busy planning, drafting, and revising their very own “All About Me” books! They’re using everything they know about strong informational writing to teach readers about their lives, passions, and special memories. We can’t wait to celebrate all of their hard work as authors!
We are so excited for our student teachers from Ramapo College as they complete their time at Hubbard School and take their next steps into the teaching world! Alivia, Suzannah, and Heather have jumped right in from day one — covering classes, supporting students, and spreading positivity throughout our building. We are so proud of everything they’ve accomplished and grateful for the impact they’ve made. Once a Ram, always a Ram — Hubbard will always be home for you! 💙💛
From a classroom dream to real-world impact —
Students who are now fourth graders at Dater launched their third-grade Profile Project with one big goal: to bring clean drinking water to a community in need.
Inspired by the book Thirst by Varsha Bajaj and their Profile Project, they partnered with The Forefront Organization to help make that dream a reality. Today, a well stands in Valabhapuram, a rural village in Andhra Pradesh, India, providing clean water to hundreds of people.
While the project was led by Shea and Brynn, they made sure it was credited to Mary A. Hubbard School—because it truly took teamwork. From helping hands at events to cheering them on, this was a school-wide effort powered by empathy and action.
On the plaque:
“Donated by: Mary A. Hubbard School”
Proof that stories can spark change—and students can lead it.

This annual effort raises awareness for mental health, spreads kindness, and reminds everyone they are never alone. All proceeds will support West Bergen Mental Health and the P.S.

From the glowing rocks in the Rainbow Tunnel to learning about miners’ tools and daily lives, this trip sparked excitement, wonder, and plenty of thoughtful questions. It was the perfect trip to end our Friday, full of smiles, new knowledge, and bright memories! We are so proud of how our third graders embraced this experience with such curiosity and enthusiasm.
Third graders had an amazing time exploring the Sterling Hill Mining Museum! Found in a small mining district right here in New Jersey, this site holds one of the most unique geological wonders in the world. Students ventured underground and saw firsthand the incredible fluorescent minerals that make this mine so special. It was a fascinating experience that brought science, history, and curiosity to life—and what a great way to kick off the weekend with such a memorable adventure!
K-Cam spent some time exploring nonfiction magazines today during Reading. The class was able to build on what kinds of nonfiction books interest them and got to share their opinions on what types of animals they like reading about as a class. 📚🩷
Moments like this spark joy—one of our students created a thoughtful piece of artwork with Ms. Megna in mind! She was delighted to see how he applied the elements of art they’ve been learning, turning creativity into a meaningful connection. This is what joyful learning looks like at Hubbard!

Right before spring break, Hubbard students dove into Fine Arts Day—one of our favorite traditions! Ramsey has a deep respect for the arts, and it all begins here at the elementary level. From learning about stop motion animation to creating sculptures, collages, and more, students explored a variety of mediums that sparked curiosity and joy. Fine Arts Day encourages expression, collaboration, and pride in each child’s creativity. Many thanks to our incredible Hubbard PTO for sponsoring this day and to the parent volunteers who helped bring the magic to life! 🪄

What a beautiful reminder that even our youngest students can lead the way in caring for our planet 🌏💙💚
3Lee soaked up the sunshine and some fresh air while learning about the importance of trees in our environment. After reading two articles about Earth Day, students responded to a writing prompt, reflecting on how trees help our planet and how we can protect them. Outdoor learning at its best—rooted in knowledge and growth! 💛☀️
We hope you had a wonderful Spring break! Look at those preschool smiles! Our youngest learners were all smiles and excitement as they returned to school, ready for another day of fun, friendship, and discovery.
