Reminder...Three (3) minute Vehicle Idle Only
As a reminder, your vehicle cannot idle for more than 3 consecutive minutes outside of our school. Signage is located along the front and visitor side of our building. This includes pick up times and running a quick errand in the building. Idling vehicles emit many different pollutants, including particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, benzene, and other volatile organic compounds. These pollutants can contribute to cancer and other short and long-term health concerns. People with asthma, bronchitis, other respiratory problems or heart disease are most sensitive to the health effects of fine particles contained in vehicle exhaust.
Hamburg School staff proudly serve our parent community each day at drop off and pick up to assist in transitioning students to/from school. Please be reminded that both short- and long-term exposure to air pollution can lead to a wide range of diseases, including stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, trachea, bronchus and lung cancers, aggravated asthma and lower respiratory infections. Please help us keep our staff and students safe in maintaining compliance with New Jersey Administrative Code Title 7, Chapter 27 (Air Pollution Control). Thank you.

Balloons over Hamburg
Our Kindergarten students read the book Balloons Over Broadway by Melissa Sweet and
learned about the first Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
We were inspired to create our own balloons and parade through the halls and
visit some classrooms with music and holiday cheer.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
