Voorhees Township
BOE discusses how
summer projects will
impact school year
By ZANE CLARK
The Sun
Back to school was the theme
of discussion at the Aug. 31 meeting of the Voorhees Township
Board of Education.
With school set to begin on
Sept. 8, several members of the
district's administrative staff
gave updates about projects that
had been taking place over the
summer and how they would impact the new school year.
As far as maintenance projects,
district assistant superintendent
for business and board secretary
Frank DeBerardinis said there
were significant projects completed in every school in the district,
with repairs to the roof of Signal
Hill Elementary School being the
biggest focus.
DeBerardinis also said this
please see PARCC, page 12
Like many teachers in the Voorheees school district, Signal Hill Elementary School teacher Ashley Edel was in her room a week before
the new school year to get things ready for returning students. Schools reopen Sept. 8.

Homework help
The Voorhees Branch Library is once
again ready to support students
By ZANE CLARK
The Sun
Its a new school year for the
students of Voorhees.
A new school year means seeing friends, playing sports and
participating in clubs and other
after-school activities, but it also
means classes, tests and homework.
With that in mind, the Camden
County Library System is making sure returning students are
aware of the educational resources they have available
through their local library.
Students looking for some
extra help with their academics
can visit the librarys website at
www.camdencountylibrary.org
and use the Kids Zone and Teen
Space homework sections that
have been specially designed to
help students in their studies.
Through those sections, students
will find free access to subscription-based articles, directories
with biographical information

in our opinion
Your thoughts
Do you think municipalities should have
strict pay-to-play ordinances? Or do you
think local politics can govern itself?
$2,600 for professional business entities and $7,200 for political action committees. Residents complained,
though, and for good reason. Those
numbers were a substantial increase
from the towns original limits of $300
and $500, respectively.
After signatures were gathered opposing the change, Moorestown reversed the ordinance and returned its
contribution limits to the lower levels.
It was a good move, and one that we
encourage other towns to make, if
they havent already.
Were all for pay-to-play ordinances
that protect local towns from being
run by outside influences such as corporations or other political entities.
Local politics, more so than any other

Being Mortal aired nationally on PBS Frontline in February
2015 and was recently nominated
by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for this
year's Emmy Award for Outstanding Informational Programming.
The film is adapted from Boston
surgeon Dr. Atul Gawandes 2014
nationally best-selling book of
the same name. Being Mortal
follows Gawande as he explores
the relationships doctors have
with patients who are nearing the
end of life. The film investigates
the practice of caring for the
dying, and shows how doctors are
often remarkably untrained and
uncomfortable talking about

Free naloxone
training classes
every month
The Camden County Board of
Freeholders Addiction Awareness
Task Force is continuing to sponsor free trainings in Voorhees on
how to administer the opiate-antidote naloxone to help reverse an
opioid or heroin overdose.
The New Jersey Overdose Protection Act allows doctors in the
state to prescribe naloxone to
members of the public who might
someday be in a position to assist
someone going through an overdose. The law eliminates criminal
and civil penalties for those who
administer naloxone to those who
have overdosed, and so those who
complete the training classes will
receive a free naloxone kit.
Classes will take place on the
first Tuesday of every month
from 6 to 8 p.m. for the rest of the
year at the Living Proof Recovery
Center at 108 Somerdale Road in
Voorhees. To register for the
classes, call (856) 225-0505.

The Katz JCC and the Sari Isdaner Early Childhood Center
is positioned to be the leader in STEAM education for young children for all of Southern New Jersey, said Les Cohen, Katz JCC
Executive Director. Our partnerships with well-known and nationally recognized leaders in STEAM will allow us to offer an
experience for our children that no other school can. Science,
technology, engineering, art and math experience coupled with
values and education will create the best prepared generation for
college success and adult leadership positions.
This school year, curriculum at the Katz JCCs early childhood
center will benefit from a new initiative incorporating Destination
Imaginations STEAM & Literacy for Early Learning resource,
designed to prepare 3- to 6-year-olds with a jump start in literacy
and STEAM concepts, as well as engaging their interest in the
arts. The Katz JCC will also offer the Destination Imagination
Challenge Program for kindergarten through fifth-grade students.
Destination Imagination, Inc., whose headquarters is located
in Cherry Hill, has been working to provide a better future for
students worldwide for more than 30 years. Annually, the educational nonprofit develops seven different academic challenges
that blend science, technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM) with the arts and social entrepreneurship. Each challenge
is designed to teach students the creative process and help them
gain the skills needed to thrive in the future workforceskills
such as creative thinking, collaboration and project management,
which are largely left out of the classroom.
Students in America are not receiving the type of education
that will prepare them for the global economy, said Dr. Chuck
Cadle, CEO of Destination Imagination, Inc. If our goal as educators is to develop a creatively skilled child, then differentiated
instruction that fosters imagination, emotional intensity, courage
and curiosity should be added to the curriculum. Destination
Imagination fosters these very qualities and by complementing
curriculum, it helps provides a well-rounded education for all
