Township, school
officials discuss
new year agenda
By SEAN LAJOIE
The Sun
As we turn the page on the year
that was and prepare ourselves
for a fresh calendar, we peak
ahead at what there is to look forward to in the township of Tabernacle.
The 2015 holiday season was a
festive one for Tabernacle. The
town hosted its annual tree lighting on Dec. 4 on the grounds of
Town Hall and had a great
turnout considering it was only
the second time it has held this
event.
However, township committee
is already looking at potential adjustments to make the 2016 tree
lighting even better.
It plans to hold a meeting this
month to dissect the past event
please see COMMITTEE, page 3

stations that sparked the kids imaginations and fostered their interest in science, technology, engineering and math. For another

Tabernacle Township
school district
After Kenneth Olson Middle
School achieved certification as a
Sustainable School from the
Sustainable Jersey for Schools
program in October, Tabernacle
School District Superintendent
George Rafferty wasted no time
making his new year's resolution
to get Tabernacle Elementary
School involved as well.
According to Rafferty, TES
Principal Gerald Patterson has
been working diligently to have
his school meet the rigorous standards the program provides.
Patterson and his green team
will have an opportunity to submit projects to earn points toward
certification during Januarys
open enrollment period.
Rafferty wants to continue to
build on what the middle school
has begun by enduring the responsibilities the program bestowed upon the district.
We were accredited the
bronze award for the next three
years, so we will be looking to
shoot for silver, Rafferty said.
Rafferty additionally referenced a project he was happy to
announce will be budgeted for in
the new year. The district plans to
implement an emergency generator project in the elementary
school. This has been a problem
for years, as the elementary
school has been without backup
power.
Forty percent of the project
will be funded through a ROD
grant, and the board of education
plans to go out to bid for the in-
will not have to do with technology, so we can concentrate specifically on matters dealing with
making sure the children are
ready from a mental standpoint,
Rafferty said.
Rafferty also said the district
follows state guidelines as much
as possible when it comes to state
testing, but it will look to make it
much shorter than last year, as reducing the time was a common
critique from parents.
The board is very fond of how
the districts staff has been working in the past year, so much so it
will be forming a committee in
January to select a teacher and an
educational professional of the
year.
For each school, there will be
one teacher and one educational
services professional recognized
for the award.
While the girls and boys basketball seasons are heating up,
the teachers will also look to get
in on the hoops. The staff will
square off against the Harlem
LRHSD
Although it may be a new year,
Seneca High School will still be
focusing on the same values in
2016.
High school students always
have their typical ceremonial
events such as prom and graduation to look forward to in the second half of the school year, but
