What if the most promising climate solutions in the world weren’t coming from boardrooms… but from classrooms around the globe? Students in Mrs. Almaliah's 6th-grade Gifted and Talented classroom were asked, “What can we do about climate change?” Through the Climate Innovation Challenge, they identified what they care about in their communities, designed solutions to protect it, and shared their innovations through creative video storytelling with the world. After months of hard work, and in competition with 1,500 student videos, three of Pierrepont's students won Honorable Mention in … [Read more...] about Mrs. Almaliah’s Students Recognized for Climate Innovation

Roller Coaster Engineers!
Students in Mrs. Colucci and Barone’s science class recently brought physics to life by constructing their own paper roller coasters! Using marbles to test their creations, students explored concepts like gravitational potential energy and energy transfer in a fun, hands-on way.
This engaging activity highlighted key PORG qualities. Students demonstrated critical thinking by asking questions, experimenting with designs, and learning from trial and error. Collaboration was also on full display, as groups worked together to solve construction challenges and … [Read more...] about Roller Coaster Engineers!Parent Academy EVENING Presentation

Fourth-grade students in Mrs. Stallone's STEM class learned about earthquakes and how engineers design buildings to reduce the damage they cause. Students made their own model buildings, using tuned mass dampers or base isolators to help the building stay standing. Students then used their SAMLabs kits to make an earthquake simulator that would shake, just like a real earthquake. The fourth graders put their designs to the test this week and enjoyed seeing the results of their hard work!
