Parents concerned
with upcoming
computer-centered
spring assessment
By MIKE MONOSTRA
The Sun
Many audience members at the
Cherry Hill Public Schools first
public discussion of PARCC, the
new standardized assessment for
New Jersey public school students, remember the days of filling in bubbles with their No. 2
pencil to answer multiple choice
test questions.
Some are not happy those days
are now gone.
Dozens of parents and other
community members attended
last weeks PARCC primer with
many questions about the new assessment. For many, those questions revolved around the new
test-taking method. With PARCC
being taken entirely on a computer, Cherry Hill Assistant Superintendent Joe Meloche said technology has been the biggest concern
for parents.
One of the biggest questions

Saturn, Teresa and Danny Crowley came to Cherry Hill Townships holiday light ceremony last week decked out for the season with
Christmas hats. The ceremony attracted residents from across the township and included performances from five different school choirs.

ship will need to use any additional funds for the project.
It will likely cover the entire
cost of the new system, Brown
said.
The HVAC installation will be
the latest improvement made to
the arts center. Last year, the
township received a pair of
grants from Camden County to
modernize the interior of the
building and increase the capacity. Another grant paid for improvements to the smaller buildings surrounding the center.
Kenilworth Park will be receiving a large makeover with its
open space grant money. The
$25,000 approved for the park will
be used for multiple projects.
Were going to make improvements to the overall park facilities, Brown said.
Among the improvements are
Insulating Glass
Window/Patio Door Repairs
Table Tops Mirrors Shower Doors

Happy holidays!
A thank you to everyone who helped to brighten the season for those in need
Dan McDonough Jr.
Stepping up
Thank you to everyone who lent a helping
hand to those in need this holiday season.
But giving shouldnt stop just because the
holidays are almost over. Tell us about
your donation drive throughout the year,
and well share it with the rest of the
community.
an uptick in donations, but the Community Food Bank of New Jersey says
what its receiving is still far short of
what it needs. The reason? A high cost
of living in our state coupled with
large-scale job loss in places such as
Atlantic City.
Based on the number of holiday
drives we published this year, though,
local organizations are doing their best
to help fill this need, and others.
Over the past few weeks, we have

Koons says sellers should consider any offer.
I always tell my seller, Lets
counter with something. It sends
the message youre willing to negotiate, Koons said, adding sellers shouldnt be offended with a
low offer. One of two things happen (with a counter offer) they
either go away, or they come up.
Klaus agreed that every offer
should count.
Often, I find a seller becomes
insulted by a low bid. Respect it as

After a house is sold, the
amount of time before the seller
moves out and buyer moves in is
negotiable. The average is 60
days, Lewis said.
For an estate sale, the house is
vacant, so a seller doesnt need to
move out and a buyer can move
right in.
Another scenario is, Im selling my house, youre going to buy
my house and Im going to buy
the Smiths house. We all try to
have the same settlement date,
Lewis said. Nine times out of 10,
it works out fine.
Some sellers, Lewis explained,
make a contingent on the sale of
their home for finding suitable
housing.
In other words, you dont have
to sell to a buyer who gives you
your price because you havent
found another house, he explained. Most of the time you
