On Friday, January 23rd, students from Ms. Armanini’s, Ms. Colan’s, Ms. Kline’s, and Mr. Rosa’s classes visited the Levoy Theater to enjoy Jurassic Bark Live! They embarked on a journey to prehistoric times alongside REAL DINOSAURS while also being entertained by Freestyle Dancing Dogs, Agility Dogs, Frisbee Dogs, High Jumping Dogs, and even some Hilarious Canine Costumes!
During this outing, students were able to practice good safety skills while walking with adults, use appropriate proximity to others, walk to their seats appropriately, use safety signs, recognize community helpers, request for basic needs, and wants, use conversational exchanges, understand the layout of the theater, remain quiet while watching the play, and demonstrate appropriate social behavior while watching the play.

Our students in Mrs. Morgan's Project Lead the Way challenge took on an exciting and eye-opening challenge that combined science, engineering, teamwork, and real-world problem solving! Using a hands-on activity, students created their own miniature ocean ecosystems and then faced a tough challenge: a simulated oil spill.
Their mission? To design and test methods to filter out the oil and help clean up the water. Through trial and error, collaboration, and creative thinking, our future scientists and engineers explored how pollution impacts the environment and what it takes to protect our oceans.

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'" — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 🕊️✨
Yesterday, our Pilla NJHS members answered that call by participating in a Day of Service in honor of MLK Day. Partnering with the Newfield Recreation Committee and the Vineland Soup Kitchen, our students dedicated their time to supporting our local community.
Together, they assembled "Blessing Bags" filled with sandwiches, snacks, and—most importantly—handwritten notes of encouragement to brighten someone's day. 🥪ed💌
We are incredibly proud of these young leaders for spending their day off giving back and making a real difference in Vineland and Newfield.

Students in Mrs. Franco and Miss Welden's Language Arts classroom completed their Hunger Games projects. They first had to research a crop they wanted to grow on their farm. Then within their group they had to create a grant proposal to submit to the committee as to why they should receive $100,000 in grant money to grow their sustainable farm. The template included creating a budget, cover letter, abstract, a statement of need and a program description. Finally, they put all this information into a vivid presentation and presented it to the class.
