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!

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!

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 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.
