Vineland High School students celebrated World Peace Day today via artwork outside the VHS South campus. Students in Ms. Parent, Ms. Friedly, Ms. Medio, and Ms. Carberry’s art classes created pinwheels with words and images that represent peace and created chalk art of peaceful messages and images. World Peace Day is observed annually on September 21 and is dedicated to world peace, specifically the absence of war and violence.
Welcome to the Biscoglio Bistro and DeRenzis’ Diner! 5th-grade students at D'Ippolito Elementary School “tasted” mentor texts as a preview of the books they will be reading this year. The diners dined on different genres that are present throughout our HMH reading series, Multicultural Rising Voices library, and mentor texts used for literacy and writing. They had a great time dining, chatting, and learning from each other!
Some students were quoted saying…
“This was the best day ever!
“I like reading about other kids who speak another language at home, just like my family does.”
“I can make a connection to this book because it talks about the Latino culture, and I’m Latino. It makes me feel happy.”

Why attendance matters! Showing up is the first step to success.
At Vineland High School, students in Mrs. Belvett's classes used the first week of school to create vision boards of short and long-term goals and learned about Portrait of a Graduate traits with a group Jenga research game. The purpose was to interact with and get to know classmates while building skills to be successful students and community members.
The 6th, 7th & 8th grade Jr. Scientists at Johnstone School engaged in hexagonal thinking!
Students filled out a hexagon with their interests and then collaborated and communicated together through this strategy to make connections with their fellow peers. Students who did not see connections right away were challenged to think outside the box and make the connections work. It works out that the hexagons together resemble a group of cells or molecules!

Students at Barse Elementary School participated in a Scavenger Hunt during Library to become acclimated to the new library layout. This also helped to promote independence during book checkout time and foster collaboration between peers as they worked together in groups to locate items on their checklists. Students told the Library Media Specialist, Mrs. Loveland, that they enjoyed locating the different areas in the library and even found some new books they would like to read! Students completed their hunt by finding a book they would like to borrow for the week.
