On Friday, January 23rd, students from Ms. Armanini’s, Ms. Colan’s, Ms. Kline’s, and Mr. Rosa’s classes visited the Levoy Theater to enjoy Jurassic Bark Live! They embarked on a journey to prehistoric times alongside REAL DINOSAURS while also being entertained by Freestyle Dancing Dogs, Agility Dogs, Frisbee Dogs, High Jumping Dogs, and even some Hilarious Canine Costumes!
During this outing, students were able to practice good safety skills while walking with adults, use appropriate proximity to others, walk to their seats appropriately, use safety signs, recognize community helpers, request for basic needs, and wants, use conversational exchanges, understand the layout of the theater, remain quiet while watching the play, and demonstrate appropriate social behavior while watching the play.

On Saturday, the Vineland High School AFJROTC Color Guard had the honor of presenting the Colors at the 100th birthday celebration of local hero Johnny Quinesso, affectionately known as Johnny “Junie” Q.
Mr. Quinesso is a World War II Navy veteran who served as a radioman and received the historic Morse code message announcing the end of the war. The invitation to present the Colors and remain for the celebration dinner was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the AFJROTC cadets and a meaningful way to honor a man who played a role in one of history’s most significant moments.
The celebration featured several distinguished guests who took the podium to wish Mr. Quinesso a happy 100th birthday, including Nor’Easter Nick, Congressman Jeff Van Drew, and Senator Mike Testa. Their remarks highlighted Mr. Quinesso’s service, legacy, and the impact of his life and military career.
Following the program, guests gathered to personally congratulate Mr. Quinesso and pose for photographs. Among those in attendance were Vineland High School teachers Noel Bennett and Mr. Bennett, AFJROTC instructor JoDenise Bolton Muller, and AFJROTC cadets, all of whom shared in celebrating this remarkable milestone.
For the cadets, the experience was both an honor and an unforgettable reminder of the importance of service, sacrifice, and history. Being able to present the Colors for a World War II veteran on his 100th birthday was a powerful moment they will carry with them for years to come.

Mennies School hosted its lively and well-attended annual Family Game Night on January 22nd, bringing students and their families together for an evening of fun and connection. Sponsored by the Vineland Education Association through a Public Education Partnership (PEP) grant, the event was a packed house from start to finish.

NJHS members from Sgt. Dominick Pilla Middle School partnered with the Newfield Recreation Committee and the Vineland Soup Kitchen to complete a Day of Service in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on Monday, January 19. Members put together blessing bags for community members, which included sandwiches, snacks, and encouraging notes.
Last week in Social Studies, Mrs. Leone’s class at Mennies Elementary School learned about Martin Luther King Jr. We had many conversations about kindness, belonging, and using our words when we are upset (focusing on nonviolence). The class had many meaningful conversations about how to use words when something is unfair and about being kind every day, even when we have different opinions. The students learned and grew so much just by sharing their ideas with one another.
One activity that they enjoyed was creating digital pictures on the smart board, printing them, and creating journal entries about MLK’s message in his “I Have a Dream” speech.
