tudents at Fleetwood Elementary School
didnt have to travel to Russia to get a taste
of the Olympic experience.
They brought the Olympic experience
to their school community.
From kindergarten to fourth grade, every
classroom in Fleetwood represented a different
country and filled the all-purpose room with a
variety of colors, costumes and flags.
Fleetwood hosted its Olympics celebration
event last week, coinciding with the real 2014
Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Fleetwood
has hosted its version of the Olympics every
other year since the 1996 Summer Olympics in
Atlanta.
Carol Lynch, a physical education teacher at
Fleetwood, started the event as a school-wide
multicultural assignment. She said the event is a
great way to bring lessons about foreign nations
to the students in a way thats easy for them to
understand and also fun.
The kids really get to understand the cul-
tures and the countries they are representing,
she said. I just wanted to bring the Olympic

The Lenape Regional High
School District's mid-year report
on violence, vandalism and bully-
ing saw a small uptick in total in-
cidents compared to previous
years.
Jim Kehoe, the districts secu-
rity and emergency management
coordinator, gave the state-man-
dated report during last week's
Board of Education meeting.
Overall, the district saw 39 inci-
dents from July through Decem-
ber of 2013. This is an increase
from 31 incidents reported in the
same time frame in 2012. The
total incidents come from five cat-
egories: violence, vandalism,
weapons use, substance abuse
and HIB incidents.
Out of all five categories, the
one with the largest increase was
substance abuse. The school dis-
trict had 18 substance abuse inci-
dents, up from 11 in the previous
year.
Despite the increase in those
numbers, Kehoe talked about the
numerous programs the school
district had to specifically curb
the substance abuse numbers.
Thirteen of the 18 incidents were
confirmed use of a substance and
the other five were recorded as
possession.
Rather than focus on the in-
crease, Kehoe spoke of the pro-
grams the district has employed
to combat substance abuse. The
district has created a marketing
campaign called Defy the Issue to
raise awareness of substance
abuse among the student body. All
four high schools also held assem-
blies featuring former NBA play-
er Chris Herren, who told his own
story of struggles with substance
abuse.
The district also had a slight in-
crease in vandalism with eight in-
cidents reported. Of those eight,
seven of the incidents were theft.
Kehoe said a trend in many of
the theft cases was the failure of
the victim to secure their person-
al items.
We're seeing an increase with
cell phones, Kehoe said. We tell
the students to keep their phone
locked and secured in their lock-
ers.
Kehoe said the district has
done a good job of cracking down
on theft cases.
In the majority of the inci-
dents of theft, either the property
was recovered or the suspect was

Mt. Laurel residents will be
seeing a slight decrease in their
taxes to the fire district after the
passage of its budget on Feb. 15.
According to the unofficial re-
sults of Mt. Laurel Fire District
No. 1s election, voters passed the
proposed 2014 budget 389-109. The
proposed budget included a tax
rate of 0.244 cents per $100 as-
sessed value. This is a decrease
over the 2013 rate of 0.248 cents.
Fire Chief John Colucci said
the department was able to lower
taxes for residents thanks to a re-
duction in costs in certain cate-
gories.
We held a line for the last few
years, Colucci said. It was due
to various things such as collec-
tive bargaining and employees
contributing to health care.
The total amount of the budget
is also down to $9,825,353.87. That
is a decrease of $510,813.94 from
the 2013 budget. In total,
$8,223,613.14 of the budget is
raised through taxation. The
amount decreased with the reduc-
tion in the tax rate. The remain-
ing portion of budget is raised
through revenue the fire district
collects.
The difference between that
$9.8 million and $8.2 million is
what is generated through other
sources of revenue, Colucci said.
In the election for seats on the
Board of Fire Commissioners,
two candidates ran unopposed.
Phil Roura and Robert Shestack
were both elected to a three-year
term on the board.
A full version of the Mt. Laurel
Fire District No. 1 budget is avail-
able to view at www.mountlau-
relfire. com.
Fire district budget
to lower taxes
charged, he said.
Kehoe said HIB incidents are
now recorded separately from the
other categories. The district's
number of HIB incidents was
down from three in 2012 to just
one in 2013.
We're required to report on
the specific categories, Kehoe
said. HIB has become its own
category this year.
The district reported a slight
decrease in violence, from 13 inci-
dents in the first half of the 2012
school year to 12 in 2013. There
have not been any weapons inci-
dents in any school so far.
Kehoe said the districts full re-
port for the 2013-14 school year
will be presented next October.
In other news:
Superintendent Carol Birn-
bohm addressed the weather situ-
ation, which has forced the school
district to change its schedule,
adding Presidents Day and June
16, 17 and 18 as school days. Birn-
bohm said the district has been
forced to close, hold a delayed
opening or close early 14 times
this year. However, she said none
of the closures have been because
of factors other than the weather.
Not one delay or closing was
because we couldnt get our buses
running or our facilities going,
Birnbohm said.
Enrollment in the districts
new Project Lead the Way pro-
gram has been successful, accord-
ing to Birnbohm. Project Lead the
Way is an engineering program
that will debut in Lenape High
School and Seneca High School
next year. Birnbohm said 46
Seneca students have applied for
participation and Lenape has re-
ceived 42 applications. Each
school will have 24 students par-
ticipate in the first year.
The Board of Education ap-
proved changes to its meeting
schedule. With New Jersey delay-
ing due dates for the finalization
of 2014-15 school budgets, the
board has canceled its March 10
meeting. Its April meeting will be
held on April 30. The next regular
meeting is scheduled for March
19 at 7:30 p.m. at the district ad-
ministration building.

spirit into the kids lives.
Marie Reynolds, the director of commu-
nications for Mt. Laurel schools, said the
event allows the students to combine all
their classes into one school wide project.
Theyve all studied this as an all-inclu-
sive curriculum, she said.
The event began in the morning with
the schools version of the Parade of Na-
tions, where the entire school marches in
with flags of various nations.
The entire school takes part and each
classroom represents a different country,
Reynolds said. They have an Olympic cel-
ebration in terms of a parade.
Each student held a miniature flag with
written details such as the nations culture,
tradition, history and other facts. Each
class did research on the country they rep-
resented.
After the Parade of Nations, the stu-
dents watched videos on the Olympics and
Sochi and recited the Olympic oath. Five
students then lit the schools Olympic caul-
dron to officially start the games.
As the years have gone on, Lynch has
added activities reflecting on the country
hosting the Olympics. This year, a Russian
flair was added as fourth-grade students
performed a Russian folk dance called the
Troika, and another class told a story
about Matryoshka dolls.
Thanks to an arrangement with The
Healthy Garden restaurant in
Moorestown, the students got a chance to
try some ethnic Russian food later in the
day. Some of the food the students got to try
included a Russian version of a donut hole
called ponchik and a fruity drink called
compote.
It was so nice they vested the time in
making the food for us, Lynch said.
The school was able to pay for the food
thanks to a grant from the Mt. Laurel Edu-
cation Associations Pride in Public Educa-
tion. The grant helped pay for updated
flags and art supplies as well. Lynch said
the Fleetwood PTO also assists with the
events.
In past years, Lynch tries to put a special
touch on the event by communicating with
a school from the host country.
China was the first one where I was
looking for a school to communicate with,
she said.
The students had Skype sessions with
students their age in China. While Lynch
hasnt lined up a similar session for the
Olympic event itself, she is hoping some
classes will be able to Skype with a Russian
or Ukrainian class later this year.
Lynch said the Skype sessions bring the
entire lesson of the Olympic project full
circle. She hopes the students not only
learn about other countries, but also about
the importance of being multicultural and
embodying the spirit of the Olympics.

ear Mother Nature: We re-
spectfully request that you
stop dumping loads of snow
upon us. Yes, we realize that we were
hoping for a snow day or two at the be-
ginning of the season. And yes, we re-
alize we were praying for colder tem-
peratures during last summers heat
wave. But this is a little nuts, dont you
think?
Seriously, Mother Nature, look what
you have done to us:
You broke a 130-year-old record
this year when you dumped more than
six inches of snow on us in four sepa-
rate storms in one season.
You have crippled traffic, causing
major motor vehicle accidents and de-
laying planes in and out of airports
for days on end.
You have caused local schools to
delay their openings, close early and
close for the full day so many times
that this school year may end only
days before the next one begins.
You have caused us to run out of
salt. Yep, its all gone. And were hav-
ing trouble getting more. Who would
have thought that a shipping law
would stand in our way of making our
roads safer?
Mother Nature, oh powerful one,
wielder of our wintery fate, please
have mercy on us. We beg you to get us
through these last few weeks of winter
unscathed.
We ask you to forgive our similar
pleas for an end to summertime heat.
We were misguided in our thoughts
then, and we hope to not be as mis-
guided next time around.
We promise that well put every-
thing in perspective when we wish for
warmer weather, colder weather,
dryer weather or wetter weather.
And we promise, oh how we prom-
ise, to enjoy every day of sunshine you
give us this spring before youre sure
to reign down your fury with swelter-
ing temperatures this summer. At
least well have the sea and our pools
to cool us down.
Our plea to Mother Nature...
...Be kind to us the rest of this winter

The Medford Arts Center is
seeking talented high school mu-
sicians to participate in its annual
Young Artists in Concert event,
scheduled for Friday, April 4, at
7:30 p.m. at the Lord of Life
Lutheran Church in Tabernacle.
The concert is free and open to the
public.
This program is designed to
showcase the areas highest level
of talented high school perform-
ers and will include instrumental-
ists, vocalists and pianists per-
forming everything from Bach to
Broadway selections.

ing in the Lenape Regional High
School District, and attending
public or private school are eligi-
ble to apply. All applicants should

tion listing their most recent mu-
sical accomplishments, along
with a recommendation from
their instructor.
In addition to providing the
young artists with a large and
very appreciative audience, this

al tryouts or perhaps a college au-
dition. It also enables the student
a means of testing a piece before a
crucial audition, a technique
many experienced musicians
have used successfully. Since per-

recorded accompaniments, every-

companist.
At the conclusion of the con-
cert each performer will receive a
certificate of appreciation for
their participation.

The following information is
being released jointly by Burling-
ton County Prosecutor Robert D.
Bernardi, Delran Police Chief Al-
fonso Parente, Jr., Florence Police
Chief Alvin Scully and Mount
Laurel Police Chief Dennis
Cribben:
Three Cinnaminson residents
have been charged with the
armed robberies of the 7-Eleven
convenient store in the 1100 block
of Route 73 in Mt. Laurel on Jan.
16, and the Route 130 Food Mart
in the 2900 block of Route 130
North in Delran on Jan. 26.
A 28-year old female and a 28-
year-old male, both of Kelso Lane
in Cinnaminson, and a 26-year-
old male of Georgetown Road in
Cinnaminson, were charged with
armed robbery and conspiracy
for the Jan. 16 holdup. The
charges filed against the trio for
the Jan. 26 holdup include armed
robbery, possession of a weapon
for an unlawful purpose and un-
lawful possession of a weapon.
The 28-year-old male had a first
appearance last week in Burling-
ton County Superior Court before
the Honorable Susan L. Clay-
poole, who set his bail at $350,000.
The two males have been lodged
in the Burlington County Jail in
Mt. Holly. The female suspect was
placed in the correction work re-
lease center in Pemberton Town-
ship.
The two male suspects were
taken into custody the evening of
Feb. 7 by Florence police after a
concerned citizen called to report
a suspicious vehicle parked in the
area of Wallace Avenue and Sev-
enth Street. A search of the vehi-
cle yielded a ski mask, a handgun
and a small amount of suspected
heroin.
The investigation revealed that
the male suspects were preparing
to rob a Florence liquor store
when they were apprehended.
As a result, the male suspects
were charged with conspiracy to
commit armed robbery and pos-
session of a weapon for an unlaw-
ful purpose. The 28-year-old male
was additionally charged with
certain persons not to have
weapons.
Further investigation uncov-
ered the participation of the fe-
male suspect in the armed rob-
beries last month.
Investigators were greatly as-
sisted in this case by an alert citi-
zen who recognized that some-
thing was not quite right and took
the time to call Florence police,
Bernardi said. This type of help
is extremely valuable to law en-

Administrators in the Lenape
Regional High School District re-
ceived the 2014 New Jersey School
Performance Reports for the
Lenape, Shawnee, Cherokee and
Seneca high schools.
Overall we are very pleased
with the report, which accurately
reflects the districts strengths as
a high-achieving district, said
Superintendent of Schools Carol
Birnbohm. The district contin-
ues to have higher than average
graduation and post-secondary
enrollment rates as well as SAT
scores. Additionally, weve ad-
dressed areas of improvement
from the 2013 report.
The NJ School Performance
Reports evaluate school perform-
ance in three key areas: academic
performance, graduation and
post-secondary performance and
college and career readiness.
In the performance area of aca-
demic achievement, two of the
four high schools met 100 percent
of the state Department of Edu-
cation targets. Cherokee High
School met 92 percent and Seneca
High School met 83 percent of the
of the NJDOE targets. Both
Cherokee and Seneca missed one
indicator of success on the High
School Proficiency Assessment
for the subgroup students with
disabilities.
With one of the highest gradu-
ation rates among districts in
Burlington County and statewide,
all four schools in the Lenape Re-
gional High School District met
100 percent of the benchmarks for
graduation and post-secondary
performance.
The districts 2012-2013 average
graduation rate was 95.83 per-
cent, an increase from the 2011-
2012 average of 95.3 percent. This
was reflected in this years per-
formance reports, with the gradu-
ation rates for all of the LRHSD
high schools exceeding 94 per-
cent, well above the statewide tar-
get of 75 percent.
According to the National Stu-
dent Clearinghouse, the districts
post-secondary enrollment rate 16
months after high school is 84
percent, an increase of more than
5 percent compared to last years
report.
The increase in post-second-
ary enrollment demonstrates our
commitment in ensuring our stu-
dents are prepared for two gradu-
ations high school and college,
Birnbohm said.
Another indicator of the dis-
tricts graduates success in col-
lege is high average SAT scores,
which held steady at 1550 for all
four high schools in a five-year
analysis from 2009 through 2013.
According to the College Board, a
student with an SAT score of 1550
or higher is more likely to get a B
minus freshmen year of college,
helping to put them on a path to
graduate from college.
For a second year, the four high
schools did not meet two key
benchmarks that, according to
the Performance Reports, are in-
dicators of college and career
readiness the percentage of stu-
dents participating in PSAT and
the percentage of students taking
at least one advanced placement
or international baccalaureate
test in English, math, social stud-
ies or science.
"We addressed our low partici-
pation in the PSATs by establish-
ing a new requirement that all
college prep students take the
PSAT at least once each year in
grades nine, 10 and 11 beginning
this school year, Birnbohm said.
According to Birnbohm, the
district is dedicating more time
and resources to the PSATs at no
additional cost. We anticipate
the results of this proactive pro-
gram will be reflected in next
years performance reports, she
said.
According to Birnbohm, the
low percentage of students taking
AP tests reflects the autonomy
the district allows its AP students
and is not a true indication of dis-
tricts students' participation in
AP coursework.
"Lenape Regional High School
District students can select from
18 AP courses. We encourage our
students to select courses based
on their interests and allow them
to determine which AP tests they
need to take based on their col-
lege and career goals, Birnbohm
said. Its a reflection of our mis-
sion to encourage our students to
take advantage of every opportu-
nity while in high school to learn
and excel in a wide range of
fields.
The LRHSD also offers the pop-
ular dual enrollment college ac-
celerated program in partnership
with Burlington County College,
enabling students to earn college
credits while taking district
courses. Many students elect to
earn CAP credits, rather than
take an AP exam. Nearly 1,300
students from all four schools
participated in the CAP program
in 2012-2013.
According to Birnbohm, the
state Department of Education
has indicated that dual enroll-
ment courses, such as Lenape Re-
gional High School Districts CAP
program, may be included in fu-
ture performance reports, in ad-
dition to AP and IB courses.
