Kindergarten is the criticalyear that sets the tone for youngstudents, as Medford Board of Ed-ucation Superintendent JosephDel Rossi put it.

The Medford Township PublicSchools implemented its first-ever full-day kindergarten pro-gram in 2015 to allow for more in-structional time to prepare stu-dents for the elementary schoolcurriculum.

However, Del Rossi also wantedto better prepare parents for thisbig step in their child’s life, so hecollaborated with the district’s

kindergarten teachers to put to-gether the first-ever information-al night for parents of incoming2016 kindergarteners on Jan. 20.

“The better job that we do edu-cating in terms of prior to theirkindergarten year, the better off we’re going to be during their ca-reer in the district,” Del Rossisaid. “We’re giving these studentsan advantage to a degree.”

If you have a child who will be

5 years of age on or before Oct. 1,he or she will be eligible for the2016-2017 kindergarten class.

Due to the increased rigor of the expectations provided by the

curriculum for these kids, DelRossi conducted research to seekthe benefits of being developmen-tally ready for kindergarten.

This led to the four-week pro-gram during the summer inwhich incoming kindergartenersare identified through a districtwide pre-assessment used to ac-quire information regarding

Medford Library Association

Happy New Year! We hope that your hol-iday season was both restful and enjoyable.As we start 2016, we have a blank page in anew book. However, I would like to lookback on a story that is still in progress, thehistory of the Pinelands Library.

The Burlington County Library was thefirst to open in New Jersey in the 1920s.Without a permanent edifice, the bookswere housed in local homes, churches, fire-houses and post offices and staffed by localvolunteers. Medford Village Firehouse

opened its doors to the library in 1928, andthe library was relocated to Medford Vil-lage Community House in 1946.

As Medford grew, its demand for booksand other services grew, and the need for apermanent facility became apparent. As

with all projects, there was disagreement

in the community. The conflict was re-solved in 1968 when the township pur-chased a bus garage, and then-MayorEphraim Tomlinson suggested that be con-verted to the library. Two additions werebuilt with donations of time and money,and within two years, the library was com-plete and paid for.

It was during the construction that theMedford Library Association was born. Adecision was necessary regarding whowould operate the library – the association,the township or the county. For reasons of staffing and book supplies, the county was

the choice. Our application to become abranch library was approved in 1971. Be-cause the library services not only Med-ford and Medford Lakes, but also Taberna-cle, Shamong, Southampton and IndianMills, the library was named Pinelands Li-

brary in recognition of our relationship to

the Pine Barrens. In 1986, another additionwas built, expanding the library to 6,000square feet.

Today, we have a full-time staff to assistyou with any questions or needs you have re-garding the services available, but more onthe scope of those many services next time.

Now, back to the present. There aremany weekly activities that continue at thelibrary. In addition, we are looking forwardto another Mini-Make Tech Camp on Jan.29 at 3:30 p.m. Encourage your children’sinterest in Science, Technology, Engineer-ing and Math through a variety of play and

experimental activities. Check outwww.bcls.lib.nj.us/events/calendar?field_library_location_tid%5B%5D=232 fora full listing of January activities.

Until next time, keep turning thosepages and stay warm.

happenings at the medford library association

Story of the Pinelands Library is still being written

Fifteen years ago, following the

attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, there

was one song that became a ral-

lying cry for our country. “God Bless

America” was sung by Americans

everywhere, regardless of their ethnic

background or religious beliefs.

The most public places where thistook place were at professional sport-

ing events – before the start of NFL

games and in the seventh inning

stretch of MLB games. Fifteen years

later, the practice still continues at

many sporting venues in the United

States.

Piggybacking on this practice, an el-

ementary school in a local school dis-

trict began saying “God bless Ameri-

ca” following the Pledge of Allegiance,

which, let’s not forget, also includes

the word “god.”

But now, 15 years into this practice,

the American Civil Liberties Union

has said enough is enough, and Glen-

view Elementary School in Haddon

Heights will no longer be saying “God

bless America.”

The principal at the school, Sam Sas-

sano, defended the practice, writing to

parents that, “it has been our view that

the practice is fundamentally patriotic

in nature and does not invoke or ad-

vance any religious message, despite

the specific reference to God’s bless-

ing.” Alas, the school won’t be having

its students say the phrase “God bless

America” after they say “one nation,

under God.”

Congratulations, ACLU, you have

succeeded. While children will be

taught about the founding of our coun-

try and the rights we as Americanshave, they will be faced with the fact

that if a group as big or as strong as

the ACLU pressures you, you have no

choice but to succumb to its wishes.

While our children will be learning

about the dangers of bullying, they

will be confronted with the fact that if

you are big enough and if you bully

hard enough, you can get what you

want.

Thank you, ACLU. Keep fighting the

good fight.

in our opinion

ACLU: The big bullyUnder pressure from organization, school eliminates “God bless A merica”

loved to skate ever since.”Though her sisters’ interests in

the sport faded over time, Jennahas stuck with it and will nowlook to attain the highest honorshe can achieve at her age.

Along with overcoming herfear to get off the bench and ontothe ice, her success has not comeeasily. Jenna trains five days aweek, for about three hours a day.

“I really like when I put in a lot

of effort at training and it pays off in competition,” Jenna said. “I just love the feeling of jumpingand flying through the air on theice.”

To be a good pairs skater, con-testants typically have to be goodat singles skating, so Jenna focus-es on dividing her time betweentraining for singles and pairs.While she competes in singles at

the intermediate level, she will becompeting at the national compe-tition with her partner, Ian Meyh.

Jenna’s mother and coaches

discovered Meyh at the age of 15,so he is able to assist Jenna withthe experience aspect.

“He was a perfect fit because of his size, age, skill and personali-ty,” Jenna said. “He really helpskeep me focused when we com-pete in pairs.”

Meyh’s dedication has played abig role in the success of the duo,as he regularly travels from TomsRiver to Mt. Laurel to practicewith his partner.

The group had to pass twopairs of tests that were judgedbased on a number of skills andwere then sent to the eastern sec-tional competition in Simsbury,Conn.

To qualify for the 2016 Pruden-tial U.S. National Championships,the group would have to finish inthe top four at sectionals. Theyfinished first.

Jenna was so excited andproud of her performance shewore her gold medal the wholeway home.

“It felt great that all my hardwork paid off,” she said.

The national competition willtake place on Jan. 16 in St. Paul,Minn., at the Xcel Energy Center.Though Jenna has competed atlarge events in the past such as asingles competition in LakePlacid, N.Y., she described com-peting in nationals among the topskaters in the country as a dreamcome true.

As for the future, she plans to

continue pursuing her passionand to one day compete in theOlympics.

“We are very proud of whatshe has been able to achieve. Shehas an unusual degree of mentaltoughness for her age. She’s ableto go out and compete, and doesnot get psyched out by other com-petitors or the level of the compe-tition,” her mother Trish said.

where that particular student isin the continuum of being devel-opmentally ready for kinder-garten.

The program is calledSPARKLERS, and there is also asimilar summer program for in-coming first graders known asSAIL.

“Expectations have increased

for these kids, so we decided tobrainstorm what we could do forour incoming kindergarten stu-dents regardless of where they’reat in the continuum,” Del Rossisaid.

As for parents, they will havethe opportunity to be prepped forthe upcoming year at the infor-mational night.

This event will focus on socialand academic expectations forstudents and provide parentswith resources to build kinder-

garten readiness.The event will begin in the

gym, and from there parents willtake part in four breakout ses-sions all delving into a differentaspect of their child’s kinder-garten experience.

There will be a language artsliteracy section, a writing/orallanguage section, a math sectionand a social emotional needs sec-tion.

Each division will be led by anexpert in the area, Del Rossi said.

Reading specialist at TauntonForge Elementary School LoriAnn Cassidy, supervisor of in-struction for the district Dr. BethAsbury and Kirbys Mill Elemen-tary School teacher MelissaSlocum will be among the manyinstructors who will be present-ing and assisting with the event.

“(There are) no better expertsin this field than kindergartenteachers themselves. They are onthe cutting edge, trained for pri-

mary education,” Del Rossi said.The night will conclude with a

Q and A session in which the ex-perts will be fielding any ques-tions parents might have.

There will also be prizes givenout. Along with these prizes, eachparent will receive various in-

structional materials to go homewith.

Music teachers have beenworking on instructional CDs forparents to use with their kids togive them a head start on learn-ing things such as the alphabetand numbers through singingsongs.

There will also be a list of things parents can buy for lessthan $10 to help them get readyfor specific lessons.

“We’ll be putting resources intheir hands to help them assisttheir child, such as preferredbooks used in preschool thatmatch the direction that we areheaded in with our curriculum,”Del Rossi said.

Parents will also be given theopportunity to see kindergartenclassrooms during a video mon-

tage of classes such as reading,math, social studies and science.The video will provide a quick

snippet for the parents to seewhat instruction actually lookslike in a classroom setting withactual teachers teaching the con-tent areas.

As Del Rossi said, the majorityof these parents have never seenthis firsthand before.

“For most of these parents, thisis their first child, so they don’tknow what to expect,” Del Rossisaid.

There have already been more

than 100 responses from parentsinterested in attending this event,so space will be limited.

To reserve your seat, call PatDyer, administrative assistant tothe superintendent, at (609) 975-6442.
