Vineland Public Schools and the Vineland Board of Education honored members of our district staff who are also veterans in honor of Veterans Day this month. Superintendent Alfonso Llano, when recognizing our veterans, said, “In recognizing our school employees who are also veterans, it is essential to salute their selfless service to our nation and the admirable dedication they bring to our educational community. We are grateful for their sacrifice and leadership, and we are proud to have them as an integral part of our school community.”
Thank you to the Vineland High School AFJROTC for presenting the Colors and the Veterans Memorial School Safety Patrol for leading the flag salute at the November 10 Board of Education meeting! 🇺🇸
Members of Alpha Delta Kappa, Phi Chapter, gathered recently to commemorate the organization’s 50th anniversary, marking a half-century of dedication to education, community service, and lifelong friendship.
The milestone celebration brought together original charter members, longtime educators, and current members of the chapter, honoring the group’s enduring mission to support women in education and to promote altruism, leadership, and world understanding.
During the ceremony, proclamations and letters of congratulations were read from state and federal officials, acknowledging the chapter’s longstanding contributions to schools, students, and local communities.
Guests shared stories and memories of the chapter’s many initiatives through the decades — from scholarship programs and mentoring young educators to organizing service projects, literacy drives, and community outreach events.
As members reflected on five decades of achievement, the celebration served as both a tribute to the past and a renewed commitment to Alpha Delta Kappa’s guiding principles: fostering excellence in education, strengthening bonds of sisterhood, and making a positive difference in the world through compassion and service.

The 7th graders at Veterans Memorial Middle School honored our nation’s military branches in recognition of Veterans Day. Each student selected one branch of the military to research and created an informative poster highlighting details such as the branch’s motto, mission, and purpose.
These posters were proudly displayed during our Veterans Day celebration on Monday, November 10th. Following the ceremony, attending veterans had the opportunity to view the students’ work and enjoy refreshments in their honor.
We are proud of our students for their efforts to show appreciation for those who have served our country.

At Petway Elementary School, Art Teacher Ms. Marcacci and Spanish Teacher Señora Grieco collaborated on a Día de los Muertos celebration, which included students from all grades. Students learned about the Latin American holiday and made papel picado and cempasúchiles with Señora Grieco. Students in Ms. Marcacci’s class created various ofrenda items. Students in first grade and kindergarten made calaveras, while some art groups worked on creating flowers and butterflies. Many Hispanic Heritage Night participants also created small memorial candles for loved ones who are no longer with us. An ofrenda was placed in the atrium filled with student work and pictures sent in by families of loved ones who are no longer with us. Students became more globally and culturally aware as they celebrated and remembered those who are no longer with us in this beautiful Latin American tradition.
On Monday, November 3rd, students from the Wallace NJHS spent a few hours at Krumbs Cafe to help decorate the cafe for Christmas.

On November 3rd, Winslow School welcomed a fantastic array of community vehicles as part of an enriching event sponsored by the PRIDE Grant through the Vineland Education Association. Students had the extraordinary opportunity to explore and learn about various vehicles firsthand.
Throughout the day, students engaged in interactive experiences, including climbing into vehicles, honking horns, observing equipment, conversing with drivers, and asking questions to deepen their understanding. The event featured a diverse selection of vehicles, ranging from firetrucks, jeeps, big rig trucks, a bucket truck, a tractor, and even a limousine!
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the landing of a NJ State Police helicopter in the back field, captivating the imagination of all in attendance. Following an exciting morning of exploration, students and community members enjoyed delicious cookies from Chick-Fil-A.
Overall, the Community Vehicles Day was a resounding success, providing students with an unforgettable learning experience and fostering a deeper connection with their community. We extend our sincere thanks to all involved in making this event possible and look forward to future opportunities for hands-on learning and discovery.

A spooky and spectacular day was had by all this Halloween in Mrs. Nonnemacher’s class at Petway! 🎃 Students explored the question, “What makes a pumpkin sick?” Using their science skills, they hypothesized how different ingredients could combine to create a chemical reaction that produced carbon dioxide — also known as the “sick pumpkin” effect! The class had a blast observing the bubbling, fizzing fun of their science experiment!
We are grateful to all veterans in our community and beyond for your service and sacrifice. Thank you for protecting our country and inspiring our students every day. 🇺🇸
