yesterday we were able to host the NASP Team from Harmony Township in the first of what we all hope will become an annual event, Shoot Out Drugs Archery Meet! The students from both schools got to know each other and there was a great deal of camaraderie demonstrated by both teams. Thanks to everyone who attended. There are some good pictures in the local section of the April 30th Express-Times.
Till next time....

How Proud are We?!
This year has been a great year both in the classroom and out of the classroom for our students! Most recently we found out from the Tri-County Reading Council that five of our students were recognized for their submissions in to the annual competition held across three counties: Warren, Hunterdon and Sussex!
That's right.. you read that correctly... FIVE students!! First grade student Avery Nixon was awarded a Third Place award. Two fourth grade students, Giulia Kean and Bridgit Gallagher were recognized. Giulia was awarded First Place and Bridgit was awarded Third Place. Finally two of our seventh graders, Michelle Cupo and Brooke Ross were also recognized. Michelle won First Place and Brooke won Second Place!
Excelent job. Thanks to the teachers who submitted the work as well!

Election? What election?
As I talk to people about the upcoming vote for the proposed 2010-2011 school budget, it never ceases to amaze me that people do not know It is coming up!
OK folks.... there is a very important election coming up this Tuesday, April 20th! Voters in Oxford are asked to go to the polls to cast their vote (yea or nay) for next year's school budget AND vote this year for two candidates for school board membership. This year there are two vacant seats and two candidates.. Mr. Al Pierro and Mr. Matt Hibbett.
Every election in this country and this state is important. However, i am going to get personal and say this one is close to my heart. It reflects voting for good people who wish to make a difference in the lives of our young people and for the budget that will dictate what we can provide for their education next year.
The budget we proposed has many cuts and does ask for an additional $77,000 in tax revenue. But it does not cut programs, teachers, textbooks and the items we need to keep running efficiently. It does include salary concessions from administrators, secretaries, custodians, and teachers. It reflects the $337,000 we lost in state funding, but the students won't notice! If the budget does not pass the election process, then it would go to the Township Committee for further review.
Please come out and vote. The U.S. Constitution gives us all that right. Please use it!
