In Sayreville University, Jana Lee Consulting returned to the middle school to continue their work with our teachers on how to individualize and differentiate their instruction. We are looking forward to a great year of collaboration and growth with them. In the Schools Thanks to our magnificent instructional staff, our students had a very productive and fun week of learning last week. SWMHS At the high school, as part of Legislators Back to School Day, the Social Studies Department welcomed local elected officials into classrooms to engage directly with students. This annual event provides students with an opportunity to learn about public service, civic engagement, and the responsibilities of elected officials. Guest speakers share their personal backgrounds, the positions they hold, and their motivations for seeking public office and serving their communities. This year, they welcomed Sayreville Board of Education member Mrs. Lucy Bloom and Board Vice President Mrs. Leidy Maldonado, who visited multiple Social Studies classes throughout the day. During their presentations, both speakers discussed their personal backgrounds, their reasons for pursuing public service, and their experiences as elected officials. They also provided students with an overview of what a Board of Education is, how it functions, and the important role it plays in overseeing a local school district, especially their work here in the Sayreville Public Schools. Students learned about the responsibilities of Board members, including establishing district policies, overseeing budgets, supporting educational goals, and representing the interests of the school community. These discussions provided students with valuable firsthand perspectives on local government, civic responsibility, and how elected officials make decisions that directly impact their schools and communities. SMS At the middle school, ECOS club members and advisors, Mrs. Centimole and Mrs. Horzepa, visited the NJ Sea Grant Consortium at Sandy Hook for a hands-on science field experience. The students had the opportunity to learn about estuary processes, native flora and fauna, marine food webs, scientific data and sampling, and the historical human impacts on these unique environments. The students particularly enjoyed learning how to use seining for scientific sampling and catching their own fish, crabs and other sea organisms. Students also explored the historical significance of Sandy Hook's geography and learned how the coastal environment has changed over time. These activities helped students understand how climate change, rising sea levels, coastal erosion, and changing environmental conditions can affect habitats, organisms, and the future of our coastal ecosystems. SUES At the upper elementary school, the school community came together and wore green in honor of World Mental Health Day to raise awareness and advocate support for mental health. 💚 Arleth At the Arleth School, staff and students had a blast celebrating Boss' Day by "dressing up like Bob (Preston)," the beloved Principal of Arleth for the past 15 years who recently announced his retirement. Eisenhower At the Eisenhower School, the Sayreville Fire Department visited to teach students about fire safety. 🚒🧯Students and staff also celebrated last week's Exceptional Eagles. In Project Before, at the Selover School, Ms. Judith's class showed off their artistic skills on the sidewalk. Their work demonstrates that art exploration supports the development of fine motor skills and creative expression. Ms. Judith also included counting and geometric shapes to boost emergent math skills. In addition, students in Ms. Zoe's and Ms. Tina's class conducted a Halloween science experiment where they created bubbling monsters by combining vegetable oil, vinegar, and Alka Seltzer tablets. At the Cheesequake School, students enjoyed listening to the story The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything . After building their own scarecrow, they remembered the vocabulary introduced in the book and enthusiastically repeated it while they placed the items back in their bags. In addition, students in Ms. Vanna's and Ms. Vanessa's class shared their day with a search for Boo and a Special Guest Reader, Miss Jackie. Likewise, students in Ms. Ana's and Ms. Dana’s class loved searching for Boo. They worked together and followed the clues. Boo was napping in a tree. 🕸️🕷️ In Ms. Nita's and Ms. Lisa's class, students were very excited to read each clue…Ms. Nita was very proud of her class. ❤️ Finally, Brian Betz, former Superintendent and author of Vesta on a Vespa, visited to read his👏 wonderful book, which focuses on kindness and making good choices, to students. They loved having a real author in their school. 📚📝 Bombers Beyond In the Bombers Beyond 18-21-Year-Old program, the Brew Crew visited Arizonaland and toured their factory. They learned how they make the many different iced tea flavors and even participated in some taste testing. In addition, the Brew Crew sported their new uniforms during their school catering. Outstanding Outcomes We commend and congratulate Ms. LaScala, SWMHS Art Teacher, for being named Teacher of the Month of September by her colleagues. Nation salutes all our students, staff, and community members for representing Sayreville in such an impeccable manner. They Rock! Performing Arts In performing arts, last Saturday evening, The Sayreville War Memorial High School Marching Band proudly hosted its annual home show, Night of a Thousand Stars, welcoming marching bands from across New Jersey for an evening of music, competition, and outstanding performances. The event provided participating bands with an opportunity to showcase their hard work, musical talents, and creativity while competing alongside other talented programs from throughout the state. As the host band, Sayreville performed in exhibition and did not compete against the visiting bands. However, the Marching Band earned an impressive score of 83.64, reflecting the continued growth, dedication, and success of the program. The evening was also especially meaningful as it marked the final home show for Assistant Band Director Ms. Joyce Campbell, who will be retiring at the conclusion of the school year. We extend our sincere appreciation to Ms. Campbell for her decades of dedication, passion, and love for the Marching Band and the countless students whose lives she has positively impacted. Special thanks are also extended to Dr. Paul Caruso, Band Director, for his continued leadership, commitment, and efforts in supporting the success of the Marching Band program. We also recognize the tremendous work of our Band Parents Association, particularly its president, Ms. Brandi Macholl and the many parent volunteers whose careful planning, organization, and hard work made the evening such a success. Their collective efforts helped provide an outstanding experience for our students, visiting bands, and the entire Sayreville community. We are always so impressed and inspired by our incredibly talented and creative students. They never cease to amaze us! Athletics In athletics, the SWMHS Volleyball Team defeated Carteret and Perth Amboy High Schools to improve their record to 15-2 and win the Greater Middlesex Conference (GMC) Blue Division Championship. On the gridiron, the SWMHS Football Team beat North Brunswick to win the Big Central Conference National Silver Division Championship and improve their record to 6-2 . On the field, the SWMHS Field Hockey Team improved their record to 8-6 and won the GMC White Division Championship after defeating Matawan High School. The SWMHS Boys Cross Country Team continued the championship trend as they also captured the GMC Gold Division Championship and finished their season with a perfect 5-0 record. On the pitch, the SWMHS Girls Soccer Team was victorious over Woodbridge High School to secure their sixth win of the season. Likewise, the Boys Soccer Team tied Middlesex High School and later earned their fifth win of the season over Perth Amboy High School. On the tennis court, the SWMHS Girls Tennis Team won their fifth match of the season over Piscataway High School. Lastly, this week, SWMHS gymnast Kira Blanchette, who is a senior and has been competing as an independent gymnast throughout her high school career for SWMHS, will compete in her last GMC Championship on October 24th. We wish her all the best and thank her for representing SWMHS and our school district in such an impeccable manner.
