On November 2nd students from the RISE Program attended the Dare to Dream Student Leadership Conference at Rowan University. While there, students were able to network with other students from different schools, and attend two different workshops before being treated to lunch. Many of the workshops focused on self advocacy and employability skills. The students really enjoyed the keynote speaker, Mike Nelson who is pictured with our students after his speech. Mike is a true example of how with hardwork and determination, dreams really can come true! Overall, it was a great day on the campus to practice and generalize the skills that they have been learning in the RISE program.

On Friday, October 27, Durand students and their families enjoyed a night of fun at the school’s 17th Annual Fall Festival. With an estimated 400+ in attendance, the two-hour event was a Fa-BOO-lous time for all!! Although costumes were not necessary, many students could be seen dressed up and out of their school uniforms for this special evening. As families arrived and departed they were greeted by the school mascot, Skipper the Dolphin and members of the school spirit team, a first for the festival! The annual event fills the hallways and outdoor grounds of the school. In the cafeteria, guests could make sand art, decorate pumpkins and get balloon animals. Of course they could also purchase yummy snacks like funnel cake, cotton candy and popcorn to name a few! Hallways were filled with carnival games and some specialty rooms like Madame Boo Shay’s Fortune Telling and the extremely popular Haunted Room. Most popular is the opportunity to throw a bowl of pudding at principal, Mr. Greco. With stacks of tickets in hand, students line up throughout the night to take their shot. While outside, students and their families could pick a pumpkin in the patch, bounce away in the bounce house, take a trip on the hayride, or stroll through the bus lane turned trunk-or-treat!

D’Ippolito Elementary School had its annual Spooktacular Event sponsored by the Vineland Education Association through a PRIDE grant last week. We had over 17 areas in our school decorated for our event so students and families could go around dressed up in their favorite costumes and collect prizes and candy! Over 300 people attended, and many of the parents spoke of how wonderful the event was this year. We hope to continue this tradition for our families and hope to make it bigger and even better next year!

At Petway Elementary School, Art Teacher Ms. Marcacci and Spanish Teacher Señorita Pulman collaborated on a Día de los Muertos celebration, including students from all grades. Students learned about the Latin American holiday (celebrated on November 1st and 2nd) and made papel picado with Señorita Pulman. While students in Ms. Marcacci’s class made various ofrenda elements depending on their grade level. Students in fifth and fourth grades made calaveras, third grade made velas, first and second graders made cempasúchil (marigold flowers), and kindergarten made mariposa (butterflies). The art club worked on creating food offerings and 3D calaveras made from air dry clay. An ofrenda was placed in the atrium filled with student work and pictures sent in by families of loved ones who are no longer with us. Students become more globally and culturally aware as they celebrate and remember those no longer with us in this beautiful Latin American tradition.
