Our SES Hydroponics Club has made tremendous progress in a very short period of time. Students are successfully harvesting a variety of crops, including leafy greens, tomatoes, and jalapeños, just to name a few. Through this hands-on experience, students are learning the importance of sustainability and the responsible use of renewable resources, while developing an understanding of how to grow food in ways that are safe for both themselves and the environment.

👏✨Our Fitness Club here at the Esther Salas Academy is giving students an exciting opportunity to stay active through a variety of fun and dynamic activities that challenge their expectations of movement and physical fitness. These experiences promote healthy habits, teamwork, and a positive approach to overall wellness. A special thank you to Ms. Ali for leading and inspiring our students through this amazing program. Great work! 👏✨

The Union City School District is grateful to all the men and women who serve and protect our communities, especially our Union City Police Department. Today is the perfect time to show officers we understand how difficult their job is. It is important to show officers how much we understand their difficult work and appreciate their sacrifice and risk.

Our VAPA Department at the Esther Salas Academy came together to present an outstanding Christmas show for our 7th and 8th Grade students. This marked the first time an event of this magnitude has been held at our school, making it a truly special and memorable experience for our community. Our students worked extremely hard and delivered a top-quality set of performances that exceeded all expectations.

On December 18, 1787, New Jersey became the 3rd state to ratify the U.S. Constitution and was admitted into the Union, with delegates from all 13 counties in New Jersey voting unanimously. New Jersey was nicknamed “The Garden State" in the nineteenth century by Abraham Browning, a Camden attorney, who stated, "the Garden State is an immense barrel, filled with good things to eat and open at both ends, with Pennsylvanians grabbing from one end and New Yorkers from the other.”
