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!







Thank you, Mr. Hall, for sharing your time and insight with our younger students — it’s always inspiring to see our schools working together to support positive character development across the district!


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!



Our next player is Rebecca Allen, district elementary band teacher!

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.
