Bringing people, places and events to life
Patriotic holidays are humbling.
Please take time today to reflect on all who have protected the freedoms of the citizens of the United States of America.
To those who have served this country, who have been brave, scared, lonely, away from their families, and sacrificed their lives for the United States, thank you.
Thank you.

Have you ever wished you studied math or science more when you were younger – how much these subjects, with constantly changing technology, are integral to your own adult life?
Zaniac is a new after-school, extra-curricular program in Jersey City aimed to intrigue students K-8 to dig deeper into these subjects. Like how to code computer programs or how to build video games – not just play them.
Added bonus: Acquiring these skills at an early age is obviously a good thing for future life success, but Zaniac’s curriculum may encourage children who don’t like typical classroom settings to start to enjoy learning – and perhaps gain more confidence.
The Jersey City campus on 125 First Street opens its doors June 3. Read about some of the programs here.
Always strive to learn more,
