about PARCC

Baby Bookworms

Education Association publishes

letter about new standardized test
By BRIGIT BAUMA

BRIGIT BAUMA/The Sun

Childrens librarian Jordan Bilodeau reads a story to Sylvie Maeyer along with other children from 6
to 24 months at Haddonfield Public Librarys Baby Bookworms on Wednesday, March 4. Baby

Lately, the much-talked-about

topic in schools has been the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, the
new state standardized assessment. Haddonfield has heard
from parents as well as the board
of education on their thoughts on
PARCC.
Now, the Haddonfield Education Association has released a
statement detailing its concerns
about PARCC testing. The statement is meant to be a document
that states the facts, and allows
the community to make their
own decision on the test.
We wanted to put out a factual
statement about what we had
seen in the past compared to
today.
There were a lot of opinions
and misconceptions floating
around, and we wanted to lay the
facts and impact on the line,

based on the new standardized

testing, co-president of the HEA
Craig Wille said.
The statement began with the
following: HEA members maintain high standards for our students, and we value the instructional time required to do so. We
value the time our district dedicates to professional development, which strengthens our curriculum and our skills. We value
the time our administrators can
spend with Haddonfields students and staff.
The
implementation
of
PARCC tests, however, has limited that time, and has forced public schools to dedicate far too
many hours and resources to
standardized testing.
We were looking at some of
the issues of time and resources
with PARCC and how the test is
affecting the day-to-day life of the
schools and students. We wanted

Spanish teacher
recognized as
teacher of year
By BRIGIT BAUMA
The Sun
Growing up, Haddonfield Middle School Spanish teacher Dana
Pilla always had an interest in
learning about other cultures and
speaking to people from other
countries.
She wanted to be able to speak
a foreign language just as perfectly as she spoke English.
Pilla achieved that goal and afterward wanted to spread her gift
to others to help them learn to
communicate like her, so she decided to become a teacher.
She didnt expect to receive

anything out of it other than to

give others the opportunity to become multilingual, but this year
she was honored for her hard
work and service as a foreign language teacher.
Nominated by two of her colleagues, Pilla was named the Foreign Languages Teacher of New
Jerseys 2015 Teacher of the Year.
I felt really honored. I didnt
have an award in mind when I
started teaching.
I feel every child should have
the opportunity to learn another
language. I am doing what I love

PARCC
testing has
gone well
so far
PARCC
Continued from page 1
people to understand what the
days look like for schools on testing days, Corinne Welsh, copresident of the HEA, said.
The time that it takes from
teachers away from students in
the instructional setting is a huge
impact. It affects the administration and the students, Wille said.
A comparison, before and after
PARCC, was then made to affirm
their statement.
According to the statement, in
previous years, there were four to
five days of testing; testing occurred over one week in the
spring; instruction was disrupted
only in the mornings; tests were
taken by using a pencil and paper
in the classrooms; non-testing
classes were able to utilize the internet during the test; professional development was used for staff
development and curriculum
work; directions and test items
were verified as age appropriate;
model essays and student samples were available to guide learners; and minimal test preparation
was required for students.
This year, testing is eight to 10
days; testing occurs over two
weeks in March and April/May;
instruction is disrupted in both
mornings and afternoons; testing
is now computerized, which
shuts down many facilities with
computers, and laptop carts are
unavailable for students who are
not testing; non-testing classes
need to limit their internet use so
bandwidth can be dedicated to
testing; professional development
is partially replaced by PARCC
proctor training; there are significant concerns about age appropriateness of direction and test
items; no model essays or student
test samples are available to

Hello, spring, are you here yet?

Our moods, our businesses, our livelihoods depend on your arrival

arch 20. Nine more days. It

cant come soon enough. Officially, thats the start of
spring. Whether Mother Nature
agrees, though, is anyones guess at
this point. Early forecasts show she
will be good to us, but how much can
we actually rely on forecasts?
Spring is what we all need. We need
a nice stroll downtown, in the park or
on the boardwalk to reinvigorate us, to
get us out of the doldrum into which
winter plunged us. Winter started off
just fine, but it put a damper on everything, and everyone, in February and
so far this month. Just last week, snow
was dumped across the state.
Winter has not just affected all of

Your thoughts
What are you most looking forward to this
spring? While you are out and about
enjoying what hopefully will be beautiful
weather, send us the photos you take
along the way, and well be happy to share
them with the rest of the town.

our moods, it has affected our bottom

lines, too.
Well most likely be paying more in
taxes, in some way, at some level, for
pothole repairs and salt purchases.
Snow has affected local businesses
as well, especially retail shops. Bad
weather kept patrons inside for the
last few months. The arrival of spring

will hopefully turn that around, and

quickly.
Snow and biting cold have kept people in the mindset of no end in sight,
and have prevented many from taking
day trips to our states wonderful goodweather spots, or from planning future
trips, as well.
In a little more than 60 days, the official start of the summer beach season
will be here. Does that even sound
right?
The good news is that it started to
warm up this week. Spring really does
look like its right around the corner.
Lets hope Mother Nature cooperates
and doesnt reverse the tide back to
winter. Please spare us!

The Sun wants to know: How did you get engaged?

Maybe he popped the question on a picturesque summer day at the beach, a banner plane proclaiming his love flying overhead. Perhaps she organized your family
and friends into a flash mob, asking for
your hand in marriage at the end of an
elaborate song and dance. Or maybe it was
simple, both curled up on the couch at
home, sharing a pizza and laughing over

the latest episode of a favorite sitcom.

March 20 is National Proposal Day, and
no matter how you went from single to betrothed, The Sun wants to celebrate with
your stories.
Was it the most romantic proposal in
history? A proposal that went hysterically
wrong, but still with an enthusiastic yes
at the end? Maybe the third time was the

charm? Whatever your story, were calling

on you to send it in so we can share it with
everyone.
Send in your perfect (or not-so-perfect)
proposal story, and a photo of you and your
special someone, to our news email, which
is listed to the right.
Watch for your stories in an upcoming
issue of The Sun.

letter to the editor

Fourth grader doesnt
like new PARCC tests
I am a fourth-grade student at Central
School, and since the beginning of the
school year, my class and I have been practicing PARCC, preparing for March 16-20.
We have gone over how to use PARCC,
what all the tabs mean, practicing with
sample questions and so on. We have taken
time out of our school day when we should
have been learning things that will be useful for our entire lives, instead of just as

kids, tweens and teens. Also, some teachers

sent out to parents and kids a computer
link to practice the questions. Its just the
same questions over and over again, so
eventually it doesnt help us.
With the NJASK, it was simple. Use your
brain, pencil and paper. Try your best. The
PARCC isnt that simple. You have to type,
which for some of us isnt productive, and
though you can still use a paper, pencil and
other resources, it is extremely hard to
show your work on a computer.
Another problem about the PARCC is
the technology. Computers can glitch at

any moment, and the student could lose

everything they already did. Theyd have
to restart. Also, the Board of Education
has to buy a lot more computers, as iPads
dont work. Computers are expensive these
days. We need computers for elementary
students, middle school students and high
school students. Some students are extremely worried about the PARCC, and
they are for a reason. Id like to agree with
the New Jersey Education Association
when they say, what are we doing to our
kids? What are we?

Central School celebrates

Read Across America
By BRIGIT BAUMA
The Sun
In the Central Elementary
School auditorium, children from
first through fifth grade filled the
room for the end of their National Read Across America Week
with their Friday community
meeting, where they watched
videos about favorite books, celebrated their accomplishments
throughout the week and
watched teachers have a little indoor snowball fight with soft yarn
balls.
In honor of National Read
Across America Day, as well as
Dr. Seuss Day, instead of celebrating one day, Central School made
Read Across America an annual
weeklong celebration, this year
held from March 2 through
March 6. Students celebrated
each day with different reading
activities while having to read a
cumulative total of 32,000 minutes for Monday through Thursday, which ended on Friday with a

community meeting where they

learned they beat their goal with
45,227 minutes.
Read Across America is an annual event that we celebrate in
school. We do it to motivate our
kids to read and raise awareness
of reading and the importance of
reading. Reading is something
that can create life-long successful readers and learners beyond
the walls of this school, Central
School
Principal
Shannon
Simkus said.
Central Elementary School celebrates Read Across America
Week each year to show the importance of reading. Reading is
something that is a foundation of
learning, but that isnt the only
thing that is important with reading. Central School librarian Jessica Miller wants children to
want to read and love to read because reading opens endless possibilities.
I think reading is probably the
most important thing we can
teach our children, and its not so

much how to read as wanting to

read and loving to read. That is
what this week really focuses on.
Reading can be fun if you find the
right books that are interesting
and enjoyable to you. And once
those kids find those books that
really bring their imagination to
life, it shows them that they can
go anywhere and arent limited
by anything but themselves,
Miller said. Reading will get
them to try new things and the
courage to try new things. They
will always be growing and going
to new places if they read.
The week was coordinated by
Miller and the Read Across America committee. This years theme
was Grab Your Hat and Read
with a Cat, based on the book
The Cat in the Hat, so almost
everything was centered around
that. From Monday to Thursday,
students had to read 32,000 minutes, which is a total of 20 minutes per student per day, to reach

County launches Housing First

initiative to end homelessness
By Freeholder Carmen Rodriguez
Im proud to be part
of a new initiative
will have an instant impact on the overall
homeless populationthroughout the county
and allow us, as a region, to start making a
real change on this
issue. The program,
Housing First, puts us
on the path to ending homelessness
in Camden County.
The New Jersey Department of
Community Affairs, New Jersey Department of Human Services, Camden County Board of Freeholders,
local hospitals, Camden Coalition of
Healthcare Providers, Southern NJ
Continuum of Care and local housing providers launched this collaborative effort to reduce homelessness
across Camden County.
It is an innovative, evidence-based
approach to ending homelessness
that has been effective in communities across the country. These programs have been successful in
keeping the costliest, most vulnerable, long-term and chronically homeless patients stably housed,
dramatically reducing unnecessary
hospitalizations, emergency room
visits and incarcerations. A decade
of evidence has shown that it is more
expensive to keep a homeless person
on the streets than it is to get someone into permanent housing,
through a Housing First approach.
The New Jersey Department of
Community Affairs and the New Jersey Department of Human Services
are committing 50 vouchers for a
Housing First project for high-utilizers of the health care system in Camden County. A competitive RFP
process is expected to open next
month with an expected launch date
this summer The Camden County
Freeholder Board will invest
$100,000
of
funding
from

the Homeless Trust

Fund into the new
strategy.
It is estimated that on
any given night, more
than 650 individuals
are homeless in Camden County. This program is the first step
toward reducing this
number and achieving
our goal of ending homelessness.
Housing First has resulted in plummeting homeless numbers in the
greater Trenton area and has given
over 800 children a safe place to live.
It is much easier to get your life back
on track when you dont have to
worry about where your family is
going to sleep at night.
In addition to this pilot project, the
Camden County Housing First
Transformation Project will bring together stakeholders from across the
city, county and state to participate
in a quarterly leadership council to
coordinate efforts to continue to invest in Housing First and to shift the
local ecosystem towards a focus on
permanent housing for the most vulnerable and expensive individuals. It
will also convene a learning collaborative for staff and leaders from
local housing and service providers
to develop the skills and capacity to
serve the most vulnerable homeless
individuals through high-fidelity
Housing First programs. The Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH)
will be providing this training and
technical assistance.

guide learners; and multiple days

of test preparation are required
for students to learn how to navigate the Pearson system, especially at the elementary level, according to HEA members.
We didnt want to say that this
is terrible or bad or good, these
are the facts.
We wanted to let people take
the information provided and
come up with their own conclusions, Willie said.
Superintendent Richard Perry
felt the HEA made good points in
its statement as to the logistical
challenges schools faced regarding implementation of the
PARCC assessments.
However, he believes that students should participate in these
assessments so the district can

provide the best possible education by way of accumulating the

valuable data to meet and exceed
student curricular needs and
goals.
As a district, we believe that
PARCC can provide valuable data
in regard to components of student learning and achievement.
We have had, though, a significant amount of refusals at the
high school level. This may
change if the state moves forward
with mandating the documentation of these exams on student
transcripts. These discussions
are occurring at the state level,
Perry said.
So far, despite the snow and
school closings last week, the district continued with PARCC testing and felt the implementation
has gone pretty well so far. Welsh,
also a teacher at the high school,
said from a technology perspective, things have gone well and
pretty smoothly.
Administrators, teachers, stu-

dents and all those involved in

this testing, also including technology and maintenance staff,
have done a tremendous job ensuring the successful implementation of this initiative, Perry
said.
Welsh also said she heard
many juniors at the school discuss the timing issue of the test
as well as having another standardized test to worry about. Juniors have SAT, ACT and AP tests
to worry about, which arent affecting them as much right now,
but in May will. In the beginning
of May are AP tests, the third
week of May is the second part of
PARCC and later in the month is
the New Jersey Biology Competency Test.
The HEA recommends those
who wish to learn more to take a
sample PARCC test at parcc.person.com, talk with your childrens principal and research
pending state legislation limiting
the impact of PARCC testing.

MARCH 2015

Winter Spirit Fills the Air

By Megan Maynes
In the annual Winter Spirit
Week, students and staff filled the
school with the warmth of their
excitement and energy as they
competed for the most spirited
class through various events.
Throughout the week, students
dressed according to a daily
theme to show their unity as a
class. Some of the creative
themes included Mustache Monday (fuzzy mustaches sold as a
fundraiser), Ugly Sweater Day
(your tackiest sweater), Haddonfield Day (school colors), Throwback Thursday (a blast back to
your favorite decade) and Formal
Friday (wearing your finest).
Students also participated in a
coin war by placing spare
change into buckets labeled with
a grade level on it. While dollars
added points for your grade, coins
took away points. The object was

to have the most points by the end

of the week to give your grade a
head start in the competitions.
The winner of the coin wars this
year was seventh grade.
On the last day before break,
students and teachers from each
grade participated in a series of
events to determine the Spirit
week champions. The events included tug of war, pin bombardment, pillow polo, marshmallow
toss, and an obstacle course. The
race for the winning title was
close all day, but in the end, sixth
grade came in third place with 11
points, seventh grade came in second with 21 points, and eighth
grade came in first with 24 points.
HMS principal, Mr. Morolda, stated that he was not rooting for a
certain grade level, but he was
happy to see the eighth grade
win, as they are the oldest in the
school.

The students at the school were

also given a surprise to remember this year when the teachers
had a flash mob in the middle of
the events.
In between the competitions,
teachers ran onto the middle of
the gym floor and performed a
well put together dance routine to
the popular Taylor Swift song
Shake It Off. Just when it
seemed the dance was coming to
a close, Mr. Morolda came onto
the floor and started rapping to
the song using Taylor Swifts
lyrics.
The students cheered loudly as
the rap and dance came to an end.
Mr. Morolda thanked all the
teachers for taking the time to
practice the routine (especially
Ms. Izzo and Ms. Obst who organized the dance) giving students a
memory they wont forget.

was a tremendous success thanks
to various efforts from both students and staff, especially the student council advisors (Mrs. Munz
and Mrs. Verdeur) and the offi-

cers (Megan Maynes, Sasha Feinstein, Jack Ward and Ella Dengler). Students are now looking
forward to the upcoming Spring

Dollars and Dimes for Denim Update Beloved Teacher Retires

By Maggie Smith
By Gillian Keith
A significant amount of students at HMS buy lunch at school
every day and there is often
change left over from these purchases, which is usually misplaced or forgotten about. Dollars
and Dimes for Denim, however,
puts this change to good use. Student council representatives walk
around the lunchroom holding a
container for students to donate
the extra coins.
In 2007, the former nurse, Ms.
Pitrillo, started Haddonfields involvement with Dollars and
Dimes for Denim. It is a fundraiser that supports the Susan G.

Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The change is donated to

this foundation to help find a cure
for Breast Cancer.
According to the National Cancer Institute, breast cancer is the
most common type of cancer in
the United States. Unfortunately,
many staff members in the Haddonfield school district have suffered from and are battling breast
cancer as well as other types of
cancer. This fundraiser is very
personal to me, shared a staff
member, who has fought breast
cancer and is now a three year
survivor.
Many people wonder why
denim is the incentive for raising

money. By Friday, all of the

teachers just want to dress
down, explained the current
nurse, Ms. Barranger. The teachers get to do so on Fridays
throughout the year if each of the
teachers donates $30.
Now, the next time you have
spare change or left over lunch
money, you will know what to do
with it. Give it to the student
council representatives at lunch
to help us raise $1,000 to donate to
the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. A couple cents
can go a long way when thousands join together to help researchers and scientists find a
cure!

After more than 40 years of

teaching at Haddonfield Middle
School, Mrs. Maureen Chance
has retired. A sixth grade math
and science teacher, she loved her
students as well as her subject
area, very much. For those who
knew her, she also had a love for
monkeys; so, on her last Friday
teaching, former students and
staff members gathered for a
monkey-themed farewell party.
Ms. Chance had close bonds
with her fellow teachers, especially her co-teachers Ms. Salotto and
Mrs. Hadden. I miss her every
single day, Language Arts
Teacher Colleen Hadden says. I
always look forward to looking at
my phone at the end of the day to
see her text messages and her attempts at using emojis. Shes al-

ready offered to babysit my son.

Ms. Chance was not just as colleague but also a really good
friend that I continue to keep in
touch with out of school.
Co-teacher Mrs. Susan Salotto
added, I miss my dear enchilada everyday. After co-teaching
with her for over seven years, it
hasnt quite set in yet that shes
retired. Her strong organizational skills, nurturing personality
and amazing sense of humor
have left a mark on me, as well as
the rest of Haddonfield Middle
School.
Being one of her former students, I miss talking to her weekly so much, yet I know she will be
back for visits. Ms. Chance will
be greatly missed, not only by
Mrs. Hadden, Ms. Salotto and I,
but also the rest of the Haddonfield Middle School community.

Theres more to football than the win

By Sasha Feinstein
and Wayden Ay
It was electric, Frank DeLano, Haddonfield Middle School
teacher and high school football
coach, describes the day the Bulldawgs made history by winning
the state championship for the
second consecutive year after
achieving an undefeated 12-0 season. In an interview with Mr. DeLano, who was named Football
Coach of the Year by the Brooks
Irvine Football Club, he revealed
the dedication, passion, and effort
that lead to Haddonfields success. As the players and coaches
prepared for the state championship game, they felt the emotions that haunted them from
2011. To top it off, they were playing West Deptford, their biggest
rival for years.
Going into the game was like
preparing for a test and when it

came time to perform, they were

ready. The Haddonfield Bulldawgs practices dont just consist
of running plays and sprints, but
also getting pumped and loose
with music. Knowing that there
are 81 practices and only 12
games, it makes the whole team
and staff focus on the fundamentals of hustling and putting in
hard work. When the fundamentals are there, learned from hours
of practice, it makes everyone
feel comfortable and relaxed in
any play during the game.
Youre always going to be nervous whether its week 1 or week
12. As a coach you always want to
make sure were putting our kids
in the best possible situation to be
successful, Coach DeLano expresses with his positive coaching style. Having known most of
his players since 6th grade, Coach
DeLano is able to connect and re-

Eighth graders begin to select

high school classes
By Jenny Scott
Achieving good grades, earning credits and choosing the right
classes are just a few of the concerns eighth graders may have
about their transition to the high
school. While it may seem frightening to move on to the high
school, it is a great time for students to establish their goals and
interests.
To help with the students transition, the Haddonfield Memorial
High School guidance counselors
visited the eighth graders at Haddonfield Middle School on Tuesday, February 3rd to explain the
many options students have for
course
selection.
Students
learned that high school is a time
for more freedom, flexibility, and
responsibility. For example, a variety of electives are available to
meet individual interests such as
cooking, photography and even
gaming. Students will also need
to decide which level they will
take for required courses such as
English and Mathematics, depending on their ability, interests
and teachers recommendations.
Along with the great academ-

ics, the high school provides a variety of student activities which

are listed on the HMHS website
including Student Council, Peer
Leadership Program, National
Honor Society, National Art
Honor Society, Video Game Club,
sports, marching band, and ping
pong club. Getting involved in
activities is a great way to become
connected to other kids at school.
It is a positive way to build your
resume for college. You will look
back on your high school years
and be happy you did all of those
activities, stated senior Natalie
Scott. Taking part in activities is
also a wonderful way to discover
what kinds of interests you have,
find out who shares those interests with you, and demonstrate
your school spirit!
On May 21, eighth graders will
have an opportunity to visit the
high school for a Transition Day
designed to help students feel
comfortable moving up. Students
will also be able to sign up for a
mentor who will offer help in
their adjustment. Many exciting
opportunities will soon become
available to the eighth graders!

late with his players like every

coach dreams of doing. When
asked about inspirational and
memorable players, he eagerly
replied, All of them. Its not a
clich. Everyone has a role, a special one. They are all important to
me in one special way. Coach DeLano also explained that even if
certain players didnt contribute
to the win that day, they contributed in another game or practice, which led them to success.
According to the coach, football
isnt about just the quarterback
and wide receivers, but its about
the safeties and the players who
protect the ball that contribute to
the teams victory.

Haddonfield is notorious for

having players with a lot of heart
and dedication. The high school
football team is just another example of that.
Getting to the state championships is hard enough for any
team, but winning the state championships is a whole different
level. During the South Jersey
Group 2 Championship game at
Rowan, there were many great
plays, but the turning point of it
all was when early in the second
half, Haddonfield forced a big
turnover, resulting in a 25 yard
touchdown. To add to the momentum, Ty Klaus made one of the
most phenomenal one handed

catches for a touchdown, Coach

DeLano exclaimed. At that point,
the Bulldawgs felt confident
about the direction of the game,
but kept in mind that there were
two more quarters to go. Slowly
but steadily, the minutes ran
down, and the Bulldawgs captured the state title, scoring 27
points and leaving West Deptford
scoreless.
Being a fan just isnt good
enough for me. I get butterflies at
7 in the morning for a late game,
and if I didnt feel that, I dont
know what I would do, Coach DeLano says with no sarcasm whatContinued on next page

HMS Honors Veterans

By Natalie Naticchia
and Teo Lupinetti
At the 18th Annual Veterans
Day celebration at HMS, the students and staff honored the men
and women who protect our
country and our rights. I feel
Veterans Day is a day for the students of HMS to be connected to
veterans of all ages and places
and to learn about the real experiences it takes to protect our country, stated Mrs. Miller, the HMS
librarian.
HMS provided many experiences for the students to feel connected to the veterans and to hear
about how they put their lives on
the line for our benefits and freedom. Visiting HMS were veterans
from Haddonfield American Legion Post 38, as well as other local
veterans.
The day began with an introduction by the principal, Mr. Dennis Morolda as well as a special
presentation of the Star Spangled
Banner by veteran and Social
Studies teacher Mr. John Farrell.
Guest speaker, Dr. Eugene
Richardson, one of the Tuskagee
Airmen, discussed the racism
that the nations first black pilots
faced in the 1940s despite their
accomplishments. Other veterans
had an opportunity to introduce
themselves and their positions.
Students heard stories of their
sacrifice and were introduced to
heroes in our town, even grand-

School librarian, Mrs, Miller, read two stories about service to our
country in a luncheon honoring Veterans.
parents of our own classmates.
The assembly was followed by
a luncheon in the library which
included two parts: book readings
and a white table ceremony. Mrs.
Miller explained, I read them a
story about the Tuskegee Airmen, and it was an honor to
thank one.
I also read them a book called
The Wall by Eve Bunting. The
book is about a child and his father visiting the Vietnam Veterans memorial in Washington D.C.
It was published to honor those
who were killed in the Vietnam
War. In addition to the moving

readings, a traditional white table

ceremony was conducted. This is
an army tradition where the Veterans honor those who cannot eat
with them because they have
made the ultimate sacrifice in the
line of duty.
After the luncheon, veterans
visited classes, giving students a
more in depth perspective. The
veterans told heartfelt stories,
shared their feelings and answered students questions. Overall, the day gave everyone a feeling of gratefulness and compassion toward the ones who risk
their lives for ours.

Players Recognize Benefits of the Turf

By Johnny Foley
The views expressed in this editorial reflect the opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect
the opinions of the newspaper
staff or school district.
The installation of the Turf
field at the High School was met
with much debate. Advocates presented a case that the new surface
would reduce injuries, and improve overall safety by providing
a more consistent up to date athletic surface.
"From a players safety stand
point, our new surface is a welcomed and much needed improvement. Our players have the
ability to plant, cut and play with-

out reservation of stepping in a

hole, or worse; an exposed sprinkler head," stated Mr. DeLano,
Haddonfield High School Varsity
football coach and Haddonfield
Middle School teacher.
Mr. DeLanos description fits
my own personal experience playing football on the new turf compared with the former grass field.
Playing on the grass field was almost like playing on sand; I couldnt plant, cut or move as well as I
could on a Turf field.
Every time I ran on the field, I
was afraid that I would twist my
ankle in a ditch or roll over on a
rock.
Now when Im on turf, I have

8th Graders See the

Classics Come to Life
By Maura Dodson
On Dec. 19, the eighth-grade
class visited the beautiful and historic Irvine Auditorium at the
University of Pennsylvania to see
the six famous short stories studied in Language Arts class become a visual masterpiece on
stage.
The Chamber Theatre Productions Encore presentation included The Raven and The Tell-Tale
Heart by Edgar Allen Poe, The
Legend of Sleepy Hollow by
Washington Irving, The Monkeys Paw by W.W. Jacobs, The
Necklace by Guy Maupassant and
The Celebrated Jumping Frog of
Calaveras County by Mark
Twain.
Eighth-grade Language Arts
teacher, Mrs. Annette Sanchirico
planned the trip to help the students visualize some of the literary techniques they learned as
they analyzed the classic stories
in class.
Each short play made the suspense and tension from the text

come to life. The actors accentuated the dark themes of horror,

death and consequences. For example, in the short horror story
The Monkeys Paw, one family is
left devastated when a wish for
riches on a bewitched monkeys
paw goes wrong, leaving the parents with one haunting lesson
learned Be careful what you
wish for. The additional effects
of strobe lights, dramatic shadows and eerie sounds set the
scene to match the mood and
themes of the original stories.
The mysterious set ended with
a light, America folk tale The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. Many students enjoyed this tale since it was happy,
humorous and still taught a valuable lesson.
The use of silly costumes and
false accents made an enjoyable
finish after the ominous plays.
Overall, the trip was the perfect
way to finally see and interact
with the works students previously, had only read.

no fear of making cuts, sprinting

at the maximum speed that I can
go, or getting hurt for an unnecessary reason.
In fact, there have been some
studies that demonstrate playing
on new turf fields may cause
fewer injuries than playing on
grass.
A study comparing womens
soccer team found an average of
7.7 injuries out of 10 on turf compared to 9.5 injuries out of 10 on
grass, according to Fewer female
soccer injuries on artificial turf
by Kathleen Raven. The decreased injuries may be due to
improvements in the materials
used and the installation of turf

today compared to when it was

first developed. Years ago, turf
was a hard surface but modern
turf uses infill systems to create a grass-like feel, according to
Raven.
Some opponents still argue
that the surface may contain potentially dangerous or harmful,
cancer causing material. In my
opinion, I have seen studies
where products we come in contact with everyday could cause
cancer.
For example, I have a sweet
tooth and I recently read a study
that suggests eating too much
sugar can cause cancer. While I
don't discredit the concerns pre-

sented by some opponents of the

new Turf field, there is currently
not enough evidence to say definitively that playing on a turf field
is harmful.
An article published by The
American Journal of Sports Medicine called Early Artificial turf:
Ankle Sprains, Concussions and
Major Knee Injuries reported
that there is no research demonstrating a higher incidence of
lead toxicity or cancer from using
artificial surfaces.
The debate on turf fields may
continue for some time, but I personally feel our new fields are an
improvement for our players and
teams.

Is the turf safe?

By Megan Maynes
The views expressed in this editorial reflect the opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect
the opinions of the newspaper
staff or school district.
Artificial turf. Thousands of
these fields are used by Americans every day to host the many
sports of children, college, amateur, and professional athletes. In
between the plastic blades of
grass lay the ground up remains
of old tires from cars and trucks
around the country. A great way
to recycle, right?
But what if you found out that
these fields were giving athletes,
specifically female soccer goalies
cancer? According to the NBC
news article How safe is the artificial turf your child plays on?
published this past fall, some people are worried that there may be
a correlation between artificial
turf and cancer. In an interview
by NBC reporter Hannah Rappleye, Amy Griffin, an assistant
soccer coach at Washington University, made a statement that
shocked many people around the

world. She revealed her personal

experience at a hospital in Seattle
where two young soccer goalies
were receiving treatment for nonHodgkin lymphoma.
The nurse, while giving
chemotherapy to the two girls,
said something that made the
coachs jaw drop. Dont tell me
you guys are goalkeepers. Youre
the fourth Ive hooked up this
week.
Anyone who has ever lived
with or seen an athlete play on
these fields knows that the black
dots get everywhere. However,
for a goalkeeper, it is much more
extensive. It gets into the hair,
mouths, ears, cuts, and sometimes eyes of goalies due to the
many times goalkeepers are diving, sliding and hitting the
ground causing the turf pieces to
fly into the air and get on and into
their bodies. According to the
NBC article, no scientific studies
have linked the turf to cancer, but
substances such as lead, arsenic,
benzene, cadmium, and nickel
have been found in the tires used
in the fields.

Even though turf companies

state they are safe because the
fields only contain low levels of
these substances, how can we be
convinced when these substances
are known carcinogens?
After NBC made several attempts to get an interview with
the E.P.A. (Environmental Protection Agency), they refused, saying
that more research needed to be
done.
Although cheaper and easier to
maintain than regular grass
fields, scientists, doctors, coaches,
parents, and players are beginning to wonder if it is worth the
risk when there is no known answer to this possible problem yet.
I am hoping that my thoughts and
awareness will be enough to inspire research, at least in Haddonfield, that I strongly believe needs
to be done.
In conclusion, it is the hope of
many athletes that there will be a
solution, or possibly no solution
needed, to this issue; but until
then, we should be wary of the artificial black dots on the soccer
field.

Continued from page 2: Theres more to football than the win

soever. When you have a coach
that is as passionate and dedicated as Frank DeLano, it makes the
experience for the team 100 times

better. For the players on the football team, its always good to
know that Coach DeLano always
has your back, even if you fumble

the ball in a close game, throw an

interception, or miss a field goal.
Knowing that it is important
sometimes to have tough love, he

also takes the time to point out

the positives to uplift the team.
Coach DeLano believes, if we do
this right, we develop a friend-

ship. Haddonfield has done it

right for many years, and will
continue to succeed on and off
the field.

Kids Alley.
Its the place
to be!
By Lily Samaha
Do you want to help children
and have some free time to volunteer? Well, Kids Alley is the place
for you to be. Kids Alley is a program where teens, seventh grade
and above, tutor children from
Camden. Kids Alley meets every
day during the school week at
Saint Marys Church in Haddon
Heights. From 3:30 until 4:30 or
5:30, teens help the children with
their homework and also have a
great time with them! The childrens grade levels range from
Kindergarten to eighth grade.
Volunteers can choose whichever
age suits them best.
Not only does this program
help the children who are tutored,
but it can also really change the
minds of the volunteers. Annie
Powles, the director of Kids
Alley, also helps out the kids and
because of her warm, caring nature, those of us who volunteer

there gain a new perspective on

kids who attend school in Camden. Hearing the obstacles they
face, gives the volunteers a better
understanding of how to help the
children succeed.
Attending Kids Alley gives
these children a safe place to go
after school. They get a healthy
snack, help with homework,
friendly smiles and new friends.
Many of these kids parents do
not speak English; therefore, they
cannot get help at home with
their homework, and as a result
they often struggle in school. At
Kids Alley, the volunteers provide tutoring and mentoring.
If you would like to donate
time or money dont be shy. Kids
Alley appreciates any and everything given! This can provide an
experience like no other. If you
are interested please contact
Annie
Powles

spowles@aol.com.

A Hot Chocolate Adventure a food review

By Sander Wilson
When the snow falls in Haddonfield, a white coat covers the
Hadrosaurus and it feels too cold
to be outside. One of the best
parts of this cold weather is stepping inside somewhere cozy for a
steaming cup of hot chocolate.
However, when not just any weak
hot chocolate will do, it may be
helpful to know which hot chocolates are worth seeking out in
Haddonfield.
Any hot chocolate that is made
with Swiss Miss or similar premixed powder, can be considered
weak, and not worth bothering
with. That ruled out a few restaurants in town that dont meet the
standard, but that still left lots of
places that serve handmade hot
chocolate. So, to find which ones
both taste delicious and are worth
the money, I started by listing all
of those places. I quickly came up
with the usual suspects like
Saxbys, Starbucks, and Ludivicos. But there are also other coffee shops and many bakeshops
that also sell hot chocolate. I had
no idea where to start.
I decided to visit as many as I

could and keep track of important hot chocolate qualities that I

found. These qualities included
thickness, sweetness, chocolatyness, and creative toppings. The
perfect hot chocolate would have
to have a perfect balance of these
qualities. I also considered the environment of the store which I
was buying from.
The first hot chocolate I bought
was from Jersey Java. Their seating area was large, with lots of
big, comfy chairs and many great
places to relax or work. The hot
chocolate had whipped cream and
was thick and hot. However, it
needed more chocolate.
We moved on, hitting the Coffee BouTEAque, a small, inviting
coffee shop on Kings Highway.
There, we got a very sweet smores hot chocolate. It was sprinkled with graham crackers, and
drizzled with caramel. Then, we
went to a few bakeshops, but
struck out, and found no hot
chocolate.
Of course, we had to stop at
Saxbys and Starbucks! From
Saxbys, we bought a creamy, thin
drink with whipped cream. It was

delicious, but needed to be slightly thicker. From Starbucks, a

thick, very chocolaty peppermint
hot chocolate. It was very good
chocolate, not powder. These hot
chocolates ranked very high on
the list, and were also some of my
personal favorites too.
When I got to Ludivicos, I was
about ready to stop. (who knew
drinking a half-dozen hot chocolates would make you so full!).
When I walked in, though, I knew
it would be good. The environment was nice, with many other
places to eat.
We went to the caf section of
the restaurant, and ordered our
hot chocolates. The hot chocolate
had a very chocolaty taste, and
was quite thick, but had no
whipped cream. Also it was
served very hot, which can be
great for really cold days. As a
bonus, it was one of the best
deals, being only $2 for a 12 oz.
cup.
To wrap this up, next time your
down town seeking hot chocolate,
remember Ludivcos, and in fact,
escape to a warm, winter adventure by trying it all!

Think before you speak, a book review

By Nadya Lopez
Do you ever wonder how your
actions affect someone else?
Everyday we interact with many
people but we may not realize the
effect we have on them. When a
person does something unkind to
someone else, they may not realize what that person is going
through. The moving book 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher helps us
understand how what we say or
do might affect someone else.
While the sensitive subject matter may be too much for younger
students, this book is a must-read
for teens 13 and up. It may even
help prevent bullying by helping
teens realize the consequences of
their actions.
In the book, Clay Jensen is an
ordinary guy, just doing ordinary
things; until his classmate Hannah Baker took her life. Hannah
was a sweet girl that Clay had
liked just two weeks before. After
Clay learns of Hannahs suicide,

he receives a package from a boy

named Ryan Shaver. This package contained seven cassette
tapes and 13 stories that Hannah
recorded and sent out before her
death, recounting all the reasons
why she killed herself. Clay visits
all of the people and places that
influenced Hannahs decision,
discovering heartbreaking stories of rumors and embarrassing
incidents that Hannah experienced. As Clay hears each brutal
story, he wonders whether he had
a part in Hannahs death even
though he could not recall doing
anything mean to her. The answer to this question is revealed
in the last tape.
While it is an emotional read,
this book conveys an important
message of each persons affect
on one another. In fact, Thirteen
Reasons Why has actually saved
lives by making people more
aware of others feelings. How
often can a book stake that claim
to fame? By touching teens that

are troubled and making sure

those who aren't troubled are
more sensitive to their peers; Jay
Asher has inspired people around
the world.
After reading this book, I personally became more aware of
how I acted toward others. I did
not give anyone mean looks or
put anyone down even in the
smallest way. I smiled at everyone
I saw, hoping to make someones
day brighter. The book helped me
realize that what I say or do could
potentially push a troubled person over the edge. Bullying has
taken so many lives of teens and
children around the world. It is
time we realize that being mean
is wrong and each of us can make
a difference in saving lives. Think
how you would feel if you were
the reason someone took their
life.
If you or a friend are ever having thoughts of suicide call 1-800273-8255 or visit http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ today.

their goal. They kept track of student reading by writing how

much they read each day on a hat.
This year, if the goal was met,
theyd get to watch the teachers
have a big snowball fight.
Every day of the week had a
fun dress-up activity and reading
activity for students. Monday was
wear your crazy hat to school day
and read a Dr. Seuss book.
Tuesday, students wore sports
attire and were asked to team up
with students in other classes to
read together. Wednesday was
wear red and white to school and
teachers read The Cat in the
Hat to their classes.
Thursday, which was postponed to Monday, March 9 due to
snow, allowed students to wear
their pajamas to school and bring

a stuffed animal to read to. From

2:15 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. everyone, including teachers and faculty, took
the half hour to read a book.
Every year, the kids love this
week; its their favorite week.
Each day, they have something
different to wear and something
fun to do.
Kids really thoroughly enjoy
the focus on reading and excitement that comes with reading. If
we instill that at a young age, it
transcends when theyre older,
Simkus said.
On Friday, everyone came together to watch videos on their favorite books, which included a
section of readers across the
world and a presentation of first
graders showcasing their technology skills using Chatterpix and
making their crazy hats come
alive and talk about their favorite
book.
Then, special guest visitor
Gene Kain, Haddonfields Citizen
of the Year, led students in the

Oath of Lifelong Readers,

where students and staff took an
oath to be lifelong readers, and
each student will receive a certificate of participation.
Miller, dressed up as the Cat in
the Hat, then revealed that students read a total of 45,227 minutes, beating their goal by a landslide. For passing their goal, faculty members came on stage and
paired off to throw snowballs
into baskets. What started out as
a fun game turned into a silly
snowball fight where faculty just
threw the yarn balls at each other
and then into the audience of students, getting everyone involved
and laughing.
I hope that kids take away that
reading is fun and can take them
places. And that reading is something they can do any time, in any
setting. We as a school think this
is such an important week, because we have the ability to create
a love of learning and a love of
reading, Simkus said.

and what I believe in, but I was really honored, surprised and appreciative, Pilla said.
She began her career going to
Rutgers University where she received her B.A. in Spanish, her
M.A. in language education and
M.A. in Spanish translation. She
lived in Spain for a few years before becoming a teacher in New
Jersey.
She has taught Spanish from
second grade through the university level over the past 16 years.
She has been teaching at Haddonfield Middle School for six years
and continues to teach university
classes part-time.
I love teaching at different academic levels. It gives you a good
perspective on how people learn
and what interests them, depending on their age, Pilla said.
Pilla has accomplished a lot in
her career as a foreign language
educator. She has helped create
model assessments and rubrics
and has worked on the NJDOE
model curriculum writing team
creating curriculum framework
and assessments at the novice
level.
Pilla frequently presents on a
variety of topics relating to curriculum, assessment and collaboration through technology in
world languages at local, state
and regional conferences. She has
also developed, and is currently
implementing, online proficiency-based elementary Spanish
courses for Rutgers University
Camden.
FLENJ officially gave the
award to Pilla at the awards ceremony at FLENJs Annual Conference on Feb. 28 at the Hyatt-Regency in New Brunswick. Pilla
said when she received the award,
it felt like everything had come
full circle. As a novice, she attended her first FLENJ conference
there and looked up to all of the
presenters. Then, over 18 years,
she evolved into the person giving
the presentations as an expert.
I felt honored to see my colleagues out there clapping for me

and supporting me. It was

just a really
nice moment,
Pilla said.
Pilla
