Winning Student Essay, Winning Teacher

Sophomore Jose Ramos nominated his English teacher for a Phillies “All-Star Teacher Award” in an essay about how the teacher goes above and beyond to meet the needs of his students. Jose’s essay was chosen as a winner! Both he and his teacher were to be honored at the May 6 Phillies game, but because of rain, they will now be honored at the August 20 doubleheader.

City to Farm

Our last field trip of the year was to Dr. Gail’s (our school psychologist) farm in rural New Jersey. From identifying varieties of fruit trees to steering clear of poison ivy, feeding the chickens to cautiously approaching the sheep, playing soccer to making homemade pizza, the day was a sample of farm life that most students had never seen.
