Students at Petway Elementary School had a wonderful time learning about the Winter Olympics during Music Class with Mrs. Andrews!

The class explored background history of the Olympics and learned about the host sites in Cortina d'Ampezzo and Milan. Musical elements in the national anthems of the United States and Italy were compared while discussing how to show respect when anthems are played.

Everyone proudly marched with torches to the sounds of the Olympic Fanfare and Theme composed by John Williams, took part in a spirited relay using movement at different tempos, and learned about Winter Olympic sports by pretending to ice skate on paper plates while following directional and tempo changes.

The class also listened and moved with colorful scarves to Winter (The Four Seasons) by Antonio Vivaldi.

It was a fun way to explore music, movement, and the spirit of the Winter Olympics!

Petway Elementary School is proud to announce its participation in the South Jersey Choral Directors’ Association (SJCDA) Elementary Choral Festival, held on February 28, 2026, at Washington Township High School. Petway distinguishes itself as the only elementary school from all of Vineland to participate in this prestigious event, joining over 200 of the finest young vocalists from across Southern New Jersey.

The students selected for this honor are:
- Hazel Carlton-Dick (Treble Lower)
- Amelia Maysonet (Treble Higher)
- Gianna Cavallero (Treble Lower)
- Jaliyah Cortes (Treble Higher/Descant)
- Tetiana Galushchak (Treble Higher)

Under the expert leadership of Choral Director Mrs. Andrews, these five talented singers will tackle a challenging middle-school-level repertoire, including works such as "A Child of Song," "Blue Skies," and "This Little Light of Mine." Participation in this festival is a significant professional achievement for both the school and its director. Mrs. Andrews is currently the only elementary music teacher in Vineland certified to send students to NJMEA-affiliated events, having completed a rigorous five-step process involving advanced training and professional clearances.

This marks the third year Mrs. Andrews has led a group to the festival. Reflecting on the impact of the program, Mrs. Andrews noted that previous participants described the experience as "life-changing," providing them with artistic and aesthetic growth that resonates long after the final curtain call. We congratulate Mrs. Andrews and our five "Petway Pride" vocalists on this remarkable achievement!

Ms. Evans’ class at Mennies Elementary School became “mining engineers” during their hands-on chocolate chip cookie mining lab! Students used toothpicks as tools to extract valuable “minerals” while trying to protect the land and reduce environmental damage.

They calculated profits, explored how mining impacts Earth’s systems (land, water, air, plants, and animals), and redesigned their plans to make mining more responsible.

We are all proud of their teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills!

Life Science is in action at Mennies as Ms. Schwan’s class dives into the fascinating internal structures of plants! This week, our young scientists investigated the inside of a rose and a carnation, discovering how each part helps the plant grow and thrive.

Through hands-on learning and curious minds, our students are bringing science to life in meaningful ways. We love seeing our Marvels think critically, ask questions, and explore the world around them!

Cadets from the VHS AFJROTC program created heartfelt Valentine’s Day cards for the residents of the Veteran’s Home in Vineland. Each cadet took time to select meaningful quotes and design thoughtful messages to show our veterans how much they are appreciated.

The cards were collected and personally delivered by members of our Alpha Flight, who continue to lead the unit through impactful community service efforts like this one. Residential President Greg Miller warmly welcomed the cadets and graciously accepted the cards on behalf of his fellow veterans.

We are proud of our cadets for demonstrating service, leadership, and respect in support of those who have served our country.

The 7th and 8th grade S.O.A.R. students at Veterans Memorial Middle School have been actively engaged in hands-on engineering challenges, applying the Engineering Design Process to create innovative tower structures. Each grade level was given a design challenge that required critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

Eighth grade students were tasked with constructing the tallest possible tower using only straws and tape. In addition to height, their structures had to be strong enough to support the weight of a tennis ball, having students consider stability, weight distribution, and reinforcement strategies.

Seventh grade students designed and built the tallest tower using marshmallows and toothpicks. Their towers were required to withstand simulated natural disasters, including an earthquake and a windstorm, encouraging students to think about structural stability, flexibility, and the impact of environmental forces.

Throughout the project, students worked through each stage of the Engineering Design Process—researching structural design principles, developing and building prototypes, testing their models, analyzing results, and redesigning to improve performance. As a result of the design challenges, students built a stronger understanding of how structures work, practiced teamwork and perseverance, and saw firsthand how smart design and problem-solving connect to real-world challenges.

Students in Mr. Cresci’s 7th Grade Accelerated Social Studies classes at Veterans Memorial School, recently collaborated in small groups to create informative and visually engaging posters in honor of Black History Month. Each group selected an influential Black individual, event, or movement and explored its lasting impact on American history and society.
Students visited the school media center, where they partnered with Media Specialist Mrs. Bermudez to research credible sources, organize their findings, and design their final projects. Through discussion and focused research, students gained a greater appreciation and clearer understanding of how Black Americans have shaped the history of the United States and continue to influence our world today.

Anthony Rossi Elementary School proudly celebrated Black History Month with a powerful and inspiring school-wide assembly honoring Black excellence, history, and culture.

Students and staff gathered to recognize the countless contributions of Black leaders, innovators, artists, and trailblazers whose impact continues to shape our nation and our world. The program served as both a celebration and a reminder of the resilience, brilliance, and cultural richness that define Black history — not only in the past, but in the present and future.

The assembly featured engaging performances and meaningful presentations. In attendance was Mr. Cedric Holmes, President of the Vineland Public Schools Board of Education, along with Mrs. Cheryl Riddick, founder of L.I.M.C.W. Inspirations LLC and author, and former Vineland police officer Mr. Ricky Dixon, who each shared inspiring messages about leadership, purpose, character, and perseverance.

Through music, reflection, and powerful storytelling, the assembly reinforced the importance of honoring history while empowering the next generation to lead with confidence and pride. Students were reminded that Black excellence is not only something to study — it is something to embody. The celebration left the school community inspired to continue learning, uplifting one another, and striving for greatness every day.
