On Monday, our annual SOUPer Bowl food drive kicks off, benefiting the Community Food Bank of EHT. Each grade level has specific items to bring in to earn points. New this year, we are also partnering with the “Have a Heart for Veterans” drive. This initiative provides Valentine’s gift bags to Veterans, with a special focus on retirement facilities throughout South Jersey. To support this cause, we’ve added individually packaged snacks & candy for all grades.

Thank you to the PTA for an incredible fourth-grade field trip to Atlantic Fieldhouse! With the cold weather outside, it was wonderful to give students the opportunity to stay active indoors while practicing teamwork, respect, and positive sportsmanship. Our fourth graders did a great job encouraging one another and showing fair play throughout the day.

Due to weather and travel difficulties for our presenter, the “Don’t Press Send: Parenting in the Digital Age” presentation originally scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 28 has been postponed. We are currently working to schedule a new date and will share that information as soon as it is confirmed. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to hosting this important event soon.

We appreciate the Ocean City Board of Education members who volunteer their time to support our students!
We welcome new Board members Jennifer Cawley-Black and Jennifer Dwyer, who were sworn in on Jan. 8. More on the OC BOE: https://www.ocsdnj.org/page/board-of-education
