Please use the QR Code on the flyer to register. Registration is open until November 12, 2023. You can email Stephanie Mazzoni Engle, VHS Social Worker, at sengle@vineland.org if you have any questions about the event.
Veterans Memorial School observed a week of Respect from October 2-6. Students participated in daily Respect lessons and activities during all of their classes. Each day students were "challenged" to respect themselves, others, the environment, and our school. Staff gave out Caught Roaring Tickets to students when they were observed being respectful.
The VHS Dancers did an AMAZING job performing at Friday's Pep Rally! Ms. Hall is so proud of them all!

These talented dancers represented their senior class in today's pep rally performance!
Vineland High School art students had the opportunity to visit Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ on Friday. The students had an amazing time!
At Mennies Elementary School, Mrs. Myerson's 1st graders and Mr. Bogut's 5th graders will be "buddying up" each month this year to create meaningful connections. For their first meeting, they engaged in a "Get to Know Your New Friend" activity, where they learned about each other's favorite things. It was heartwarming to see how the students quickly opened up and communicated well with each other. Everyone is looking forward to our next meeting with our new buddies!
The "Racing Awareness for Dwarfism" event held at Sgt. Dominick Pilla Middle School on October 14th was a great success!
Despite the weather, the event featured various activities, including community vendors, food trucks, fire truck and ambulance displays, bouncy houses, a 50/50 raffle, basket auctions, a car show, and an exhaust competition.
Thanks to the generosity of the community and those in attendance, the event was able to raise funds and donations, which will go to the Pilla Activity Fund and DuPont's Skeletal Dysplasia Department.
Kudos to Mrs. Detteta for making it all possible with the help of her family, friends, her Pilla Peeps, and the community.
We are so #PillaProud💙💛

On October 7 and 8, the Pilla Safety Patrol was out in full force at the Wheaton Arts Festival of Fine Crafts, and they made quite an impression! Our dedicated volunteers had the unique opportunity to "patrol" the mesmerizing Glass Pumpkin Patch, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all attendees.
But it wasn't all work and no play for our fantastic team. They also had the chance to immerse themselves in the festivities, enjoying a delightful array of unique crafts and relishing the top-notch entertainment. And, of course, no festival experience is complete without savoring the delectable food offerings on hand.
Pilla Safety Patrol truly represented our community with pride, and we couldn't be happier with their contribution. Their commitment to safety and their enthusiastic participation made the Wheaton Arts Festival of Fine Crafts an unforgettable event for all who attended. We are so Pilla Proud of our amazing volunteers! 💛💙

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, the VHS Dennis Tanner Library hosted several events for students to celebrate throughout the month-long event. Students created luminaries, made "Day of the Dead" magnets with our glowforge machine, decorated wooden spoons with flowers and skulls to represent "Day of the Dead," took pictures in front of our Hispanic Heritage Month backdrop, made dominoes out of resin and played dominoes while listening to Spanish music.
Nurses in the News!
Nurse Karen Gallo from Mennies Elementary School and her son volunteered for a week this summer to assist individuals with Muscular Dystrophy at Happiness is Camping in June. This camping experience would not be possible without the dedication of these volunteers.
To start the new school year, Nurse Denise Ferarri at Winslow Elementary School greets each student at the door to welcome them. Returning students get to be acquainted with the assurance that Nurse Denise will be taking care of them if sick or injured. New students also get a chance to see the nurse outside of the Health Office.
Our ESY summer school nurse and district substitute Nurse Deanna Elliott participated in the Locks of Love program and donated over 6 inches of hair for children with childhood cancers undergoing chemotherapy.
Thanks for your commitment to children on and off campus!

Students, staff, and families from Little Lamb Preschool visited Duffield’s Farm! Everyone enjoyed the hayride, pumpkin picking, feeding the farm animals, going through the hay maze, exploring the learning barn, and playing in the various gross motor areas. Prior to the trip, teachers read farm books to the students. New vocabulary was introduced and small group learning (measuring) was based on real-world experiences. This trip was made possible by our preschool supervisors, district, and board. Everyone had a great time!
Dallago Preschool completed fire prevention week with a visit from the Vineland Fire Department. Students were able to see a firefighter get dressed in their protective gear, received high-fives from the firefighter in gear (which is great for our students so they know not to be afraid if someone enters their house in this uniform), and were able to go inside of the fire truck! The students and staff had a great experience!
Students at Sabater Elementary School have been celebrating their Hispanic culture through clothing! Pictured here are third-grader Sofia, representing Ecuador, and fourth-grader Iker, representing Mexico.
Durand Elementary School students had the opportunity to connect with wildlife as they enjoyed up-close interactions with amazing animals from the Cape May Park & Zoo. Students learned about snakes, armadillos, bearded dragons, and crocodiles. Durand students were WILD about this great assembly!
