  Welcome Parents! 

     Imagine a New Jersey where children feel proud of the place they call home; where they appreciate the diversity, opportunity and history all around them.

     Imagine a New Jersey where children inspire us to remember what’s important; whose words have the power to motivate us to be better citizens.

     Celebrate NJ! offers students an engaging online program in the study of NJ. It’s free and includes a statewide writing contest. Students learn, they inspire us, and we celebrate them!
