On this day, The Wardlaw+Hartridge School is closed and salutes Italian Americans and Indigenous Peoples for their myriad contributions to our culture and history, here in New Jersey and throughout the United States. W+H, located on land that was once home to the Munsee Lenape people, is proud to honor and celebrate these two cultures, which have and continue to influence the rich, diverse tapestry of our community and American society.
