May is here and with May comes the typical spring rites of passage…
field trips and testing! Classes are
going to places all over the area in May:
the State Theatre, Liberty Science Center, the American Museum of
Natural History, Sterling Mine, the estuaries of the South Jersey coastline and
many other places of interest in our area.
As of this bulletin, testing will be coming to a close next Friday, May
14th. Students have been hard
at work preparing and taking tests – AH! The signs of spring in NJ!!
Speaking of students… congratulations to Alyssa Cupo who was awarded
second place in the 2013 Tri-County Reading Council contest! We are all proud of her accomplishment.
Speaking of accomplishments… our 7-time State Championship Archery Team
is currently in Kentucky at the NASP National Championships! Check the school Facebook page for
updates.
Speaking of updates… (sensing a theme here?) Thank you to our Speech
Therapist, Miss Hoyt for promoting the importance of “Better Hearing and Speech
Month.” Please check our website link
and her blog site for updates on how to keep your hearing and voice at peak
health!!
Thanks to the PTA for helping us celebrate Staff Appreciation Week here
at school! From daily “gifts” to the HUGE
Lunch on Tuesday, the week has been a great success. Thank you to Mrs. Blendermann, Mrs. Mahoney
and Mrs. Dolan for creation, the set-up and the clean-up of this wonderful
event! Thanks also to Mrs. McGrath and the
“elves” that have been providing daily treats and inspirational messages for
our staff!
Thank you to Mrs. Svercauski, who was feted this past Wednesday by
staff and students for National School Nurse day!
Finally, I want to remind everyone that this coming Tuesday night at
7:00 pm in the OCS Library, I will be hosting a discussion about the new School
Performance Report. Everyone should have
received an informational flyer about the meeting early this week.
Till next time….
