Vineland High School AFJROTC NJ-2009-1 is currently training new Color Guard members. As new cadets learn how to present the colors in both flag and rifle positions, senior members are leading small-group training sessions to help them prepare. With the unit being invited to present the colors at an increasing number of community events this year, the growing team will ensure multiple Color Guard members are available to meet these requests. Meanwhile, Alpha Flight leaders are preparing the required documentation for each cadet in advance of the annual unit inspection by the United States Air Force, scheduled for December 18. Aim high, NJ-2009-1 — we’re off to an amazing start to the year!

One of five Vineland High School seniors will be named "Miss Monogram" and reign over the annual Homecoming Day football game when VHS hosts Cherry Hill West High School on Saturday, October 25, at Gittone Stadium.

The new queen, selected by voting in senior homerooms, will be announced at halftime.

The finalists are: Ava Alquist, Aalilah Folk, Aryana Jimenez, Da’Shyra Jones, and Peyton Russo.

All seeking the title had to meet the following criteria:

• Member of the Monogram Club;
• Varsity letter (sports or band);
• Minimum 2.5 grade-point average;
• No suspensions; and
• Not on any ineligible list

The field was narrowed to five finalists after judging by a panel of teachers based on appearance, poise, speech (confidence, eye contact, and correct grammar), and quality of response to questions the contestants received in advance, said the advisors.

The Homecoming Event is sponsored by the VHS Monogram Club, established in 1950 by the late Anthony DiTomo, VHS Athletic Director at that time.

A parade will kick off the festivities at 10 a.m. in front of Christ the Good Shepherd (Sacred Heart) Church and end at Gittone Stadium. The procession will be traveling west along Landis Avenue, making a left onto West Avenue, then right onto Montrose Street before entering Gittone.

The football game vs. Highland will follow at 11:30 a.m., with Miss Monogram crowned at halftime.

Ms. Farside's fifth graders at Winslow participated in a Peer Gallery Walk where they read and evaluated their classmates’ writing. Students shared positive feedback and compliments, celebrating each other’s creativity and ideas. This activity aligns with the Portrait of a Graduate trait of Communication, as students learned that expressing thoughts, giving feedback, and appreciating others’ work are all essential ways to communicate effectively. The activity also helped students develop stronger writing strategies by seeing different styles of writing and learning new ways to improve their own work.

Last week, students at Veterans Memorial School proudly celebrated Respect Week!

Each day focused on kindness, inclusion, and empathy. Our NJHS students kicked off every morning with inspiring respect quotes and daily kindness challenges during announcements.

Some highlights of the week included Ms. Petrini’s “Respect Tree,” where students added leaves with messages of appreciation; Mr. Martine’s “Kindness Bears” and “Gratitude Cards”; and Mr. DiBiase’s Respect Posters, all filled with inspiring, respect-themed messages. Classroom teachers also led creative and meaningful activities that encouraged students to reflect on respecting themselves, others, and our environment.

From uplifting announcements to colorful hallway displays, our Lions showed what it truly means to lead with respect and kindness every day!

First graders in Ms. Miller and Ms. Tarsatana’s class have been learning about the Portrait of a Graduate competency: Communication. Students discussed the difference between small problems and big problems—and when it’s appropriate to talk to an adult versus solving an issue with a peer.

To make the lesson memorable, the teachers used a visual with a small and big potato to represent problem sizes. The students loved learning about this important life skill—and especially loved the big potato!

Mrs. Megines’ 5th graders at Winslow became young scientists as they explored the question: How do we detect materials that have been dissolved in water? Through hands-on experiments and careful observation, students discovered that even dissolved substances can be detected using evaporation and other methods. It was an exciting lesson in scientific discovery!

Students in J. Petrini and C.Parks' 8th-grade LLD class and Veterans Memorial School created a "Respect Tree" as part of their Respect Week. Students had to come up with a synonym for the word respect and write it on colorful paper leaves. They then added the leaves to a large tree display in our classroom. The activity helped students reflect on positive behaviors and visually represent how respect grows when everyone contributes. The students were engaged and excited to see the finished outcome of their tree.

In honor of Spanish & Italian Heritage Months, which overlap in the fall, students and staff came together to celebrate both cultures. Students explored the flags of Spanish-speaking countries, learning what nations they represent. Students learned the history and meaning of the Mexican Hat Dance with a fun dance lesson! For Italian Heritage Day, students and staff with Italian roots proudly wore the colors of the Italian flag. Mrs. Alfieri gave a special presentation to her class about her recent trip to Venice. To top it off, every student in the school enjoyed a delicious pizza lunch!

Petway hosted its first annual Hispanic Heritage Night on October 7th, 2025, where they celebrated the Hispanic culture within their community.

Ritmo Caliente, a dance group from Rowan, visited students, staff, parents, and community members to show and teach them Hispanic cultural dances and songs. Coach Gio and Coach Jaden Martinez also offered their soccer expertise and showed students and families techniques to improve their game while showing them their skills. We are so appreciative of their contribution to our school community, to offer our students new dance moves and soccer techniques.

Community members, parents, and many local businesses also donated a variety of Hispanic foods and dishes to provide families with delicious food that reflects the spirit of the Hispanic community. Petway would like to express our deepest appreciation and gratitude to La Hacienda Bakery and Rotisserie, who donated a delicious Tres Leches sheet cake and hosted a station to show students how to create a concha. La Hacienda brought a top baker who showed students how to make conchas and gave students the option to take home a baked concha or hand-make a concha to take home and bake. Jim Main’s Bakery, Amigos Bakery, Penalvert’s Food Market, the Shoprite of East Landis and the Shoprite of Delsea, Downtown Grocery Store, Julio’s on Main, and La Favorita all donated a variety of delicious foods to offer all families a taste of the Hispanic culture.

Many staff volunteers and community members also set up various stations to embrace the diversity of the Hispanic culture through maraca-making, creating muñecas quitapenas: Guatemalan worry dolls, face-painting, coloring, loteria, and memory candles for our upcoming school ofrenda for Día de los Muertos.

At Petway school, we are proud of our Hispanic heritage and so appreciative of the opportunity to celebrate our heritage and culture with students and families alike, with the help of a wide variety of incredible local businesses and community members.

This week, one of our Mennies kindergarten parents, Deyanira Morales, visited Ms. Carbo’s Kindergarten class at Mennies to share about her Hispanic heritage! Students learned about traditional Mexican dishes—quesadillas, flautas, sopes, and enchiladas—and even watched her make some of them! Everyone got to try quesadillas with quesillo cheese and their favorite toppings. They also each got to try fresh guacamole made right in front of them. 🥑🌮

It was a wonderful way to celebrate culture and community—thank you to our amazing classroom parent for this delicious learning experience! ❤️
