Hello all,

Happy Friday! Today is June 1st…and so it begins – the homestretch! I enjoy this hectic time because I have the opportunity to attend events like the Teacher & Paraprofessional of the Year luncheon. This year Millville was again well represented during the Cumberland County luncheon. Other events such as the Top 5 academic student reception held at the Cumberland County College. The 5 amazing young woman that represent the top 5 academic achievers for MSHS were truly amazing. * A little concern that our young man were not represented in the top 5, this year was all about “Girl Power”. Challenge our young men to step it up for next year and compete with our amazing Lady Bolts. Great to see that for many of the young women, math and science were center in their future plans. I truly hope this is evidence dispelling any lingering myth that math and science is for boys! Way to go ladies…seeing the Top 5, Top 10, and Top 10 CTE students really helps highlight all of the effort by our staff. Most of you have at one time or other, made an impression on these amazing kids. To hear them share their experiences with me about attending the Millville Public Schools helps provide insight into their experience. Over and over again, students raved about how the staff here cares about them. Kudos #MPSWC staff!!!

SHOUTOUTS!

"A BIG CFC shout out to Mrs. Finch Weldon a preschool teacher at CFC. She embraces the Family component in our Child FAMILY Center. She does monthly family activities for the children and their families in her room. She uses REMIND almost daily to advise parents of both classroom and school activities. She will arrange for transportation for her families to attend these events. She even has a child with a sibling coming to CFC next year and brought the mother to CFC to attend our registration."
~JoAnn Burns, Principal

"Big thanks to Ben Pierce for making sure our Fun Day was set up and all the staff members had what they needed. Thanks, Ben! We appreciate your attention and willingness to do what it takes to make sure our students have the best experience possible."
~Mike Coyle,Principal

"It has been said that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Stacy Descalzi challenged her students to take items that would be considered recyclable materials and turn them into art. The finished projects were amazing...some of them were even useful (like birdfeeders and a piggy bank)."
~Stacey Musey, Dept Chair

"I'd like to shout out two Seniors, Funda Akilli and Muge Gore who earned The State Seal of Biliteracy in Turkish from The State of New Jersey's Department of Education! Just a little background, New Jersey became the 15th state to implement a legislated statewide Seal of Biliteracy in 2016. By achieving the Seal of Biliteracy, students demonstrate that they are able to speak, read, listen and write in two or more languages at a high level of proficiency. They received their certificates today! Please help me in congratulating them!"
~Debby Sukinik, Supervisor

"Doris Hall & Silver Run Cafeteria Staff: Doris does an absolutely amazing job running our cafeteria. She and her staff are friendly and accommodating. They routinely go the extra mile to ensure our students and staff have an enjoyable lunch time experience." 

"Melinda Fralick, Stephanie Upham, Kathy Drastal, Jennifer Dragotta: The Silver Run RTI staff are the unsung heroes  of our building. They provide critical and timely interventions to our students as well as bring stability to our building by covering our unfilled teacher vacancies."
~Eric Reissek, Principal

"Shouting out a big thank you to Patti Atkinson, Emily Barlas, Courtney Fry, Charlotte Richardson, and Amanda Wichnick for their diligence in administering DLM! With Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) finally behind us, I want to recognize the time and effort that goes into assessing students who do not take PARCC. With each student tested individually in 6-9 testlets in each tested subject (Mathematics, English Language Arts and for some students Science) that’s 12-21 test sessions for EACH student. Great Job!"
~Pat Wulk, Supervisor

Have a tremendous weekend!
Regards,
Dr. G.
