Social Decision Making – Elementary students become socially aware and learn traits of good character at Bartle School in Highland Park. The students participate in peer mediation and attend learning labs focusing on good and bad choices.

Lego League – Legos are used for more than just play. Gifted and talented sixth graders from Walter Hill School in Swedesboro use legos to design and build robots. The robots perform tasks that help people with disabilities. This activity is preparation for an international competition called LEGO League.

Time Detectives – Teachers at Thomas Jefferson Middle School in Edison created an archeological dig during the summer. The sixth graders are measuring, mapping, excavating, cleaning and recording their findings. The archeology project is part of their social studies curriculum. This program is funded through the NJEA Frederick L. Hipp Foundation for Excellence in Education.

The Value of Music – Lynn Williams from Thompson Middle School in Middletown Township loves teaching music. She has grown the musical program into one of the largest choral groups in the state, and one of the most popular classes at the school. But budget cuts threaten the program. See why this program is worth keeping alive!
