Its hard to believe that thetime is approaching for back toschool, but, alas, it is here. Whilemany parents and students arepreparing for the upcomingschool year, the school districts,principals, superintendents and
teachers are as well. At theLenape Regional High School Dis-trict and the Shamong TownshipSchool District, they are gearingup for a new year.
This year, K-8 students in Sha-mong will see the same schedulewhen it comes to school days, bus
routes and other things. However,teachers at Indian Mills Elemen-tary School will see a slightchange in their schedules.
This year, each grade level of
teachers will also have a commonplanning time once a month withour technology director andteacher so they can plan lessonstogether that integrate technolo-gy into what they have to teach tomeet NJCCCS (New Jersey CoreCurriculum Contest Standards),
Nicole Moore, principal at IndianMills Elementary School, said.Due to the generosity of theHome & School Association, wehave greatly increased the num-ber of SMART Boards in theclassrooms, so we want to be surethis technology is utilized.
Over the summer, while stu-dents were enjoying their vaca-tions, the school district was mak-ing some improvements.
The maintenance staff in-stalled 12 SMART Boards over thesummer, Moore said. Theboards were purchased by theHome & School Association.

Scoots Liquor defeated Safe-guard 25 to 12 to become the 2011champs of the John Wells Memo-rial Men's Softball League on Sat-
urday, Aug. 13. Scoots Liquor fin-ished the season 20 and 2. Theleague has been around for thepast 18 years.
This was started by residentsof Indian Mills, Jerry Mas-troianni, commissioner of theJohn Wells Memorial Men's Soft-ball League, said. You have to beover 30, a male and a resident.There are, however, exceptionsthat the teams can have. Someonecan be under 30 or a resident of
another town.Because of the exception, some
teams have members from Taber-nacle and other surroundingtowns. Mastroianni estimatesthat out of 150 players in theleague, about 20 are from Taber-
nacle.Each year, starting in the thirdweek of June and ending twoweeks into August, the teams gettogether to practice and play thegames.
We try to play in between thekids season, Mastroianni said.Once we start the season, wedont really practice, maybe likeonce a week, if that.
The league does not hold try-outs. As long as the person meets
the requirements or the excep-tions, they are able to play.
The teams play double headerson Tuesdays and Thursdays.There are 10 teams in the leagueand about 15 members to a team.
The league is also involved in
fund-raising. This year, they helda 50/50 raffle and raised $1,500that went to the Indian Mills Ath-letic Association.
The money was raised fordugouts at the Babe Ruth Field atthe Dingletown Sports Complex,Mastroianni said.
Mastroianni has been a mem-ber of the league for 10 years andfinished out the season playingfor The Outlaws.

sound system was installed in theIMMS gymnasium under the di-rection of Todd Hall, Tim Car-
roll, principal of Indian Mills Me-morial School, said.
Students at the Indian MillsMemorial School will see curricu-lum changes in their scienceclasses this year.
An updated science curricu-lum will be implemented thisyear based on the new NJCCCS,Carroll said. Changes will beseen mostly in topics beingtaught in different grades thanprevious years. Our scienceteachers worked diligently lastspring to update and improve thecurriculum.
Faced with budget issues,many schools are implementingvarious fees for activities or pro-
grams, and Shamong School Dis-trict is one of them.A new fee structure was voted
on last spring to increase the costof athletics from $50 to $75 forsports, Carroll said.
In August, the board of educa-tion passed the following stipula-tions to assist families with multi-ple children and families facingdifficult financial situations:n Families on free lunch: No
cost for any athletics/activities.n Families on reduced lunch:
Half price for any athletics/activ-ities.n Individual student cap: Fam-
ilies with one child participatingin athletics/activities will pay amaximum of $200 in fees for ath-letics/activities.n Family cap: Families with
more than one child participatingin athletics/activities will pay amaximum of $400 in fees for ath-letics/activities.
Among other changes is the ad-dition of some new programs inthe district.
The elementary school is of-fering a new kindergarten enrich-ment program called KinderClub,run by Theresa Gibbons, one ofthe IMS kindergarten teachers,Moore said. KinderClub is a tu-ition-based program that is de-signed to complement the dis-tricts current half-day kinder-garten program with enrichment
activities. The program offers en-
rolled children a foundation inhands-on, creative and fun learn-ing, as well as social opportuni-ties during inside and outsideplaytime. Also, this school yearour music teacher will offermusic lessons to interestedfourth-grade students. She will
offer instruction in one of the fol-lowing instruments: flute, clar-inet, alto saxophone, trombone,French horn and trumpet.
Going forward, each principalhas set some goals for the newschool year.
Increasing the integration oftechnology into the daily lessonsand promoting and increasing in-dependent reading (are ourgoals), Carroll said.
This year, we plan to committo continue with making our stu-dents feel appreciated and safe aspart of a community of learn-ers, Moore said. Additionally,we plan to have classroom teach-ers integrate technology into
their lessons on a regular basisthroughout the school year.The transition back to school
for students who are returning toSeneca High School will be rela-tively seamless. According toLenape Regional High School Dis-trict Assistant SuperintendentCarol Birnbohm, there are nomajor changes expected in the2011-2012 school year.
For instance, there are no dif-ferences to report in course offer-ings. But in a way, thats a goodthing.
According to Birnbohm, theLRHSD offers more than 200courses, including 18 AP coursesand 71 courses approved forBurlington County College creditthrough the BCC CAP program.
Last year, we had over 1,400students earning over 11,000 col-lege credits in one year, Birn-bohm said.
It is maintaining that type ofcurriculum despite a rough econ-omy that Birnbohm said the dis-trict plans to focus on this year.
Our challenge is to maintainour high-quality programs in thistough financial climate, she said.However, we are fortunate tohave a supportive board and en-thusiastic teachers, which has al-
lowed our programs to be main-tained at the level of excellenceour community expects, meetingthe needs of all of our students.
Encouraging community spiritand involvement is another goal.Birnbohm said they are excitedabout continuing the Senior Day
of Service Program, which washeld for the first time last spring.
We had approximately 1,800seniors performing volunteerservice at more than 90 differentsites across the eight communi-ties we serve (Evesham, Mt. Lau-rel, Medford, Medford Lakes, Sha-mong, Southampton, Tabernacleand Woodland), she said.
One important thing that par-ents and students should be re-minded of is that the student ac-tivity fee that was instituted lastyear remains in effect for the2011-2012 school year.
It is thanks in part to that feethat all extracurricular activitiesin the district have been main-
tained in this coming school year.Only students who want to par-ticipate in an extracurricular pro-gram or sport need to pay the par-ticipation fee, which is an annualfee of $200, with a maximum fam-ily cap of $400. Students whoqualify for the Federal Free andReduced Lunch Program are ex-empt.
The charge allows the studentto participate in as many clubs or

here were you on the morn-
ing of Sept. 11, 2001? When
America came under at-
tack? Youll never forget.
Youll never forget hearing the
news, watching on television as the
Twin Towers collapsed, and trying to
make sense of it all.
Youll never forget the heroic ac-
tions of first responders, many of
whom gave their own lives trying to
save others.
No, you wont forget. And, this Sept.
11, youll likely join America in mark-
ing the 10th anniversary of the
tragedy.
If you or your church, civic organi-
zation or other group has a special 9-11
remembrance ceremony or event
planned, we want to know about it.
Just send us an e-mail.
Well be compiling a list and pub-
lishing it on our regional website,
http://sj.sunne.ws.
But wed encourage everyone to do
more than just pay deserved respects.
Wed ask that, in honor of the 9-11 he-
roes, you do something to make a dif-
ference in your community. You dont
have to be rich to volunteer your time
or make a small donation to a food
pantry. Every effort helps. Every ac-
tion, no matter how small, can help a
fellow American.
We truly saw the best of America in
the aftermath of the 9-11 attacks. We
saw men and women rush to the
scenes and risk their lives. We saw a
nation pull together to support the
families of those who perished and to
track down those responsible for such
devastation. The states were truly
united.
We want to help you honor the mem-
ories of the 9-11 heroes. Tell us what
youre planning; and well tell every-
one else.
in our opinion

Are you planning a special event forthe 10th anniversary? Tell us so thatwe can tell everyone else.

Earthquake, monsters, homework and poisonMonster-Mania still scary
after almost 20 yearsI love horror movies. Not so much the
BOO! jump out at you type of horrormovies that litter the silver screens in thisday and age, but older horror movies thatactually focus on plot and getting inside ofyour brain to create an uncomfortable situ-ation.
Thats probably the main reason Ive al-ways wanted to attend the annual Monster-Mania Con at the Cherry Hill CrownePlaza Hotel. Each year, it comes to CherryHill Township and thousands of visitorsswarm to the hotel from around the SouthJersey (and Philadelphia) area to meetsome of their favorite horror/sci-fi celebri-ties and check out hundreds of vendors.
The annual convention, now in its 19thyear, has been terrifying visitors since1992, said David M. Hagan, vice presidentof Monster-Mania LLC. Each year the con-vention is held for three days and drawsabout 15,000 visitors over the weekend.
Cherry Hill has always been a great lo-cation for us, Hagan said, before excusinghimself after a brief interview. For thefirst hour of the convention on Fridaynight, Aug. 19, the Crowne Plaza experi-enced a rolling blackout because of the tor-rential downpours that soaked so many ofthe visitors (including yours truly).

Ugh, homework!Lets make it worthwhile
Homework starts as early as kinder-garten. My older daughter is already quitehappily warning my youngest that shewill have to do homework in kindergarten.
Through my recent studies to obtain mymasters degree, Ive come across many re-search articles about homework. They allhad the same theme homework isnt real-ly necessary. What?! I said to myself. As ateacher, I assigned homework because I feltit should be a review of skills and conceptsthat the students learned that day. I hadparents complain that there wasnt enoughhomework and parents complain that it
was too much. The general rule that teach-ers follow is 10 minutes of homework pergrade (i.e. 10 minutes in first grade, 20 min-utes in second grade, etc.). If your childshomework is taking much longer thanthat, a red flag should go up.
When your children come home fromschool, I would recommend that you allowthem at least 30 minutes to unwind, have asnack and a drink. Most kids come homedehydrated from school and tired. Askingthem to complete their homework immedi-ately can lead to more frustration andangst. If a child has an afterschool activityand completing the homework immediate-ly is necessary, I would suggest that youallow them to choose the order they would
like to complete their homework. For ex-ample, most elementary aged children lovemath. This subject could be the startingpoint.

Surprising advice from experts:Stop eating poison mushroomsPoison control officials are asking New
Jersey residents to please stop eating poi-son mushrooms. If you dont mind.
An Ocean County man is among fourpeople hospitalized for this kind of poison-ing after weekend storms raised a newcrop of lawn candy, according to The Newsof Cumberland County. Others who gotsick were from Hudson County and Mon-mouth.
One or two people die every year in NewJersey from eating poison mushroomsthey find growing in their yards or alonghiking trails, poison expert Dr. Steven Mar-cus told The News.
Marcus is executive and medical direc-tor of New Jersey Poison Information and
Education System, which warns on theirwebsite, There is no easy way to tell thedifference between poisonous and harm-less mushrooms.

So it looks like the only majortransition for local high schoolstudents will be adjusting theirbiological clocks and getting intothe back-to-school mindset.
Parents can help students pre-pare for the first day of school byallowing their teen to get back toa morning routine, Birnbohmsaid. They can do this by gettingthem up a little earlier and get-
ting them back to a more regularbedtime, which is age appropri-ate.
For freshmen not knowingwhat to expect when enteringhigh school for the first time,Birnbohm said the best adviceshe can give is to get involved inyour school.
We offer a variety of clubsand diverse experiences for alldifferent interests, she said. Weknow that students who are in-volved in extracurricular pro-grams are more likely to main-tain excellent attendance, havefewer discipline problems andhave better grades. We also advisestudents to take advantage of thetime teachers spend after schooleach day providing free tutoringor extra help sessions.

when we were younger. Weveprobably played together since we
were like 8 years old, Murraysaid. He asked me to coach.
The team played in an 11-year-old tournament and finished out4-1. They beat Mt. Laurel in thechampionship game 13-3. Theoverall season record was 24-2.
The season went really well,Murray said. The tournament
was a really good way to end theseason.
This was the first full year forall of our teams, so our focusfrom the start was to teach thekids the game and find the rightposition for each player, Roachsaid in a press release. Our
coaching staff, made up of formercollege and professional players,continually teaches the kidswhat, where, when, and why wedo certain things within thecourse of a game and practices.During the second half of the sea-son, we saw the kids really start-ing to gel, which, in turn, brought
many more wins. I am reallyproud of all our teams, and to wintwo tournament championshipsour first year is really special.
Most of the players are in fifthand sixth grade and also playtownship baseball. Murray is ex-cited about being able to coach
the players in the upcoming fallseason.
The fall season will be start-ing in September and runningthrough October, Murray said.We have four tournaments linedup.
