Ms. Evans's 5th graders at Mennies had a blast during today’s Math Review Relay Race! Students worked in teams to solve problems, check their answers, and race to the finish line — all while reviewing key math concepts. The room was full of excitement, teamwork, and lots of learning!
It was a great lesson that combined movement, collaboration, and critical thinking — and the students absolutely loved it!

On Monday, students in Mrs. Brown’s kindergarten class at Mennies Elementary School had the pleasure of welcoming a special guest reader, Janicia Cesario, who shared the book Kiki Explores Puerto Rico.
In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, the students were excited to learn about the rich culture and traditions of Puerto Rico. They listened to the distinctive sound of the coquí frog, colored the Puerto Rican flag, and enjoyed a traditional treat called florecitas.
It was a special experience that sparked curiosity and brought so much excitement to our classroom!

Vineland Public Schools hosted a two-day retreat for peer leaders from our middle schools at the Landis Administrative Offices this week. This initiative is part of the Peer Group Connection grant from the Center for Supportive Schools. The retreat helped peer leaders from the middle schools to develop essential skills, create safe environments, and foster strong relationships among students.
Throughout the school year, these peer leaders will attend a daily class to prepare them for weekly outreaches in sixth-grade classrooms. The program focuses on connectedness, self-awareness, social skills, and educational aspirations, ultimately promoting student success and a supportive learning environment.

Thank you the members of the Mennies Elementary School Safety Patrol for leading the flag salute at the October 1 Board of Education meeting! 🇺🇸
Mrs. Krawczyk’s 6th-grade ELA students recently participated in their first Snowball Conversation, an activity designed to build the foundation for student-led discussions. To prepare, students read an article about famines, viewed a short film on world hunger, and made meaningful connections to their Greek Mythology unit. They explored which Greek god or goddess might have the greatest impact on global issues such as famine and hunger.
What made this activity special was the “snowball” format—students started small, sharing ideas with a partner, then moved into groups of four, and finally joined in large-class discussions. Each step gave them more confidence to share their thoughts and build on each other’s ideas. By the end, students were debating how water, agriculture, warfare, hunting, and weather all play a role in food scarcity—while creatively analyzing it all through the perspective of Greek gods and goddesses.
Mrs. Krawczyk shared, “I was very impressed with the students’ ability to think critically and analyze the many ways food chains can be disrupted and hunger conflicts created. Considering this is just the beginning of their middle school ELA careers, I see very bright futures ahead.”

The YMCA is hosting adaptive swim lessons this fall - a great opportunity for swim lessons for children with special needs! Please see the attached flyer for more information, or contact the YMCA at aquatics@ccaymca.org.
Yesterday, Mrs. White’s, Mrs. Renee’s, and Mrs. Anne’s class at Petway explored science in a fun and hands on way. The students conducted an experiment making fizzy apples using white vinegar and baking soda. This project demonstrated a chemical reaction between the vinegar and baking soda, which created carbon dioxide gas that produced fizzing and bubbles.
The children had such a wonderful time exploring and discovering how everyday items can create exciting scientific reactions. Projects like this encourage curiosity, hands on learning, and help our students see that science is not only educational but also fun!
