Good Morning Durand – Fourth graders from Durand Elementary School in Vineland are involved in a daily morning television show called “Good Morning Durand.” The students learn how to produce, edit, host and operate cameras. Hearing impaired students play an integral role on the show as well. They interpret the broadcast and work with computer graphics.

Archaeological Dig – How can an urban school recreate an archaeological dig? Science teacher Shelly Witham designs and builds a dig inside the science lab at High Tech High School in North Bergen. This is a self-created, hands-on investigation modeled after the teacher’s own archaeology field work experiences.

Elementary Health Fair – Medical experts participate in a PTA-sponsored Health Fair at Heywood Avenue School in Orange. St. Barnabas Hospital is one of many medical facilities offering free screenings, displays and educational speakers. This event educates not only the child, but the entire family.

Bus Safety – Have you ever seen a car pass a school bus that has its yellow flashing lights on? This is illegal and often has fatal consequences. Bus driver Bonnie Chalfant from Gloucester Township is working with the local police to educate the public about the hazards of not paying attention to yellow lights on school buses.
