In between volunteer days, they enjoyed trips to the Vineland Historical Society, Wheaton Arts, the Bridgeton Zoo, and shopping adventures at Target and Five Below. These outings gave students the chance to practice life skills, discover local culture, and have fun together.
It was a summer full of learning, giving, and growing—both in the classroom and out in the community!
Congratulations to Vineland High School Jag Specialist Robert Rush and the VHS JAG program for being recognized as a "6 for 6" award winner at the JAG National Training Seminar in Louisville, Kentucky last month.
Jobs for America’s Graduates New Jersey (JAG NJ), a statewide program operated by the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce Foundation that prepares high school students for success in post-secondary education and the workforce, was recognized nationally for its outstanding work and impact on student outcomes.
At the 2025 JAG National Training Seminar held in Louisville, Kentucky from July 14-18, JAG NJ and its local chapters earned 12 national awards, including nine “6 of 6” Awards and three “5 of 5” Awards – a testament to the program’s success across the Garden State. JAG NJ also took home regional awards for outstanding high school graduation rates.
“These awards reflect the commitment and passion of our educators, mentors, and, most importantly, our students,” said Sandra Strothers, executive director of JAG New Jersey. “JAG NJ is changing lives, and national recognition like this confirms that the work we’re doing is not only meaningful – it’s working.”
The “6 of 6” Awards are one of JAG National’s highest honors and are presented to state affiliates, regions, and school-based chapters that exceed six key performance metrics: graduation rate, employment rate, full-time employment rate, full-time positive outcomes, student connectivity rate, further education rate.
These awards highlight the exceptional achievements of JAG programs in high schools that help students not only graduate but thrive after graduation — whether in college, the military, or the workforce.
The “5 of 5” Awards are presented to programs serving middle school and high school underclassmen (freshmen and sophomores) that meet or exceed five nationally established benchmarks for student success and engagement.
“These results are driven by the trusting relationships our specialists build with students and the real-world preparation they provide,” said Donna Custard, president of the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce Foundation. “We focus on career readiness, communication skills, leadership, and connection to caring adults — all things students need to believe in their futures.” JAG NJ serves students in 18 programs across New Jersey, many of whom face significant barriers to graduation and employment. The program’s model includes classroom instruction, project-based learning, employer engagement, job and college placement services, and ongoing mentorship.

While summer offers a much-needed opportunity to relax, it also allows students to maintain and sharpen their reading and math skills as they prepare for the upcoming school year.
District curriculum supervisors have created a list of grade-appropriate assignments and resources to assist students in reviewing and maintaining essential skills over the summer months. Summer assignments for students entering PreK-5 are voluntary; however, practicing literacy and math skills is strongly recommended.
