INSIDE THIS ISSUETurf field fundraising

Foundation hopesto raise $1 million. PAGE 6

By MIKE MONOSTRAThe Sun

For many school parent-teacher organizations in SouthJersey, fundraising consists ofselling food such as candy andpies or holding a book fair.

However, the PTO atSpringville Elementary School istrying something no other schoolin South Jersey has done before.

Springville is wrapping up atwo-week PTO fundraiser calledBoosterthon. The fundraiserbucks the trend of having kidssell items and focuses more close-ly on the students.

(Boosterthon) promotesfundraising in a different way,said Marlene Bollar, the PTOsvice president for fundraising.

Boosterthon is more than afundraiser. Its a two-week pro-gram where a team of Boost-erthon representatives holds apep rally and has daily team ac-tivities for each class in theschool. These activities focus oncharacter building and giving thestudents leadership skills.

It builds on the character edu-cation programs we alreadyhave, Springville Principal

Gailen Mitchell said.For the fundraising aspect,

each participating student has aBoosterthon webpage where they

can get pledges from family andfriends. The webpage is easy toshare on social media andthrough email. Donors make

pledges and can choose to donateto the fundraiser through thepage.

Boosterthon culminates in a

Fun Run, which took place onNov. 19 in the Springville gym.

MIKE MONOSTRA/The SunStudents from Springville Elementary Schools firstgrade grab a bottle of water and a snack after com-pleting their Boosterthon Fun Run last week. Weg-mans donated the water and snacks for the kids.

Some freshmen at Lenape andSeneca became the first studentsin the Lenape Regional HighSchool District to hop on the path-way to engineering this year.

Next year, students at Shawneeand Cherokee will be able to jointhem.

The board of education ap-

proved a grant from LockheedMartin for $31,200 at last weeksmeeting that will allow the dis-trict to expand its Pathways toEngineering pilot program to all

four high schools.With this grant, we'll finally

get to expand (the program) toShawnee and Cherokee nextyear, Superintendent Carol Birn-bohm said. This is the secondconsecutive year that LockheedMartin is helping us with agrant.

Last year, Lockheed Martin do-nated an identical $31,200 grant tohelp get Pathways to Engineering

off the ground at Lenape andSeneca.

This partnership opportunityprovided by Lockheed Martin hasenabled us to add a rigorous

STEM program to our course of-ferings, said director of curricu-lum and instruction Heather Xe-nakis. Its a fantastic opportuni-ty for all of our districts highlymotivated students interested inengineering to understand, in ap-plication, the content learned inscience and math courses.

The Pathways to Engineeringprogram comes from ProjectLead the Way, a nonprofit compa-

ny providing STEM-related class-es and activities to schoolsaround the country.

For many years, Lenape parent GeriAlfinito could frequently be seen at Lenapesporting events. Alfinitos four childrenwere participants on Lenape sports teams.

My wife was a huge supporter of thesports program, said her husband Tom.She was a supporter of the kids.

When Geri passed away suddenly in 2011

at the age of 47, Tom began to look for away to honor her.

A short time later, the Lenape Turf Proj-ect was born.

The Lenape Athletic Foundation hasbegun a fundraising campaign to install

turf at Lenapes Driscoll Stadium.Fundraising began in November after theLenape district board of education andhigh school administration approved theproject.

The plan is to name the turf field afterGeri. Having a turf field at Lenape wassomething Tom talked to Geri about for anumber of years.

We talked about it all the time, he said.I thought itd be a great way to honor her.

Parents of current and former Lenapestudents have come together to form an ex-ecutive committee, which has already con-nected with LandTek Group and FieldTurfto get estimates on the cost of the project.

Lori Leonard, a member of the execu-

tive committee, said the project will costapproximately $1 million. The committeeis hoping to raise $740,000 in cash and$260,000 in material and services. Thegoal is to raise the money in time for theturf to be installed during the summer of2016.

The entire project will be funded pri-vately. Executive committee member Stu-art Yaffa said the school district is not ableto help pay for the turf field. However, he

noted both Shawnee and Cherokee highschools were able to install turf using pri-vate donations. He also said Medford andEvesham have fewer residents than Mt.

Tis the season, as they say. Tis

the season to be jolly. Tis the

season to bundle up and drink

hot chocolate. Tis the season to spend

extra time with loved ones. Tis the

season to start your holiday shop-

ping if you havent already. And tis

the season to shop local.This week marks the official start to

the holiday shopping season, but if

youve been out and about this month,

you have noticed holiday decorations

and specials at stores throughout our

area.

Much of the attention of the holiday

shopping season falls on two days

Black Friday and, now, Cyber Mon-

day but dont forget to shop local for

your holiday gifts.

Keeping your spending dollars in

your hometown, or at least in the re-

gion, has immense benefits on the

local economy.

Even companies as large as Ameri-

can Express are touting the impor-

tance of shopping local. The company

started the now well-known Small

Business Saturday the Saturday

after Thanksgiving, the day after

Black Friday in 2010 to promote

small businesses. Last year, a study re-

ported an estimated $5.7 billion was

spent at small businesses on that day!

A vibrant and successful local busi-

ness community has a trickle-down ef-

fect on our own pockets. Just think:

Successful local businesses make

other businesses want to locate in our

town.

More businesses equals more rata-

bles, which, in turn, lowers our taxes.

The more ratables we have, and the

lower our taxes are, the more attrac-

tive our community becomes to futureresidents.

It all starts with you. If you have a

choice between buying a gift at a big

box store or a local mom-and-pop, sup-

port your neighbors by making that

purchase locally.

Our small businesses are already

fighting an uphill battle against the

marketing dollars of the big box

stores.

Lets all help them out by opening

their doors and opening our wallets to

them. We can make it a truly happy

holiday season.

in our opinion

Shoplocal!This holiday season, support local businesses

Success with Learning DisordersBy Carlo B. Melini, MD FAAP

Website - www.CarloBMeliniMD.com

All students need success. It has been said that success is like vitamins, we all need some. Somestudents however fail to achieve the success they deserve. Subtle and sometimes overt differences in

learning patterns can create havoc for a student in school. The most common neurodevelopmentaldysfunction involves the Attention System. This is the Chief Executive Officer of the brain. It directs

by promoting, inhibiting, assisting and controlling all that we learn, remember, listen to and produce.No one has inattention for everything. Rather, it is inattention for those things that are boring or dif-ficult to understand. On the other hand, attention for things we really enjoy and care about may neverbe stronger. So it is really a misnomer to call someone Attention Deficit; rather it should be labeled

Misdirected Attention.

Often, individuals with this affliction are extremely creative and can become very successful adults

when they can practice their specialty- do what they like. Although traditional past research did notincriminate sugar and foods as causative of inattention or increased activity, more recent research sug-gests that the artificial dyes and preservatives, found in many foods today, can worsen the condition,

and should be avoided. Recent research confirms that exercise can be especially beneficial in improvingattention. Sitting still all day hinders the ability to sustain attention. Schools that provide regular ex-ercise at the beginning of the day and throughout the day have students with very little Attention

Deficit!

Associated with at least 90% of students with attentional issues are learning differences. They may

involve sequencing, fine motor, language, organization or memory. They may be subtle and not readilyrecognized without appropriate evaluations. These are students with normal to gifted intelligence; yet,if not recognized and by-passed early, may fail to achieve commensurate with their intelligence. The

three main categories of learning disorders include: Dyslexia (Reading) 80% Dyscalculia (Math) 10%and Dysgraphia (Writing) 10%. Each, if recognized early, can be mastered and overcome!

Attending school heralds the end of the protection and nurture of home life. During a typical day

at school, students experience successes and failures, many resulting in future feelings of self-worthand self-esteem. Lets not blame students as lazy unmotivated or immature. Rather, lets make

sure they are properly evaluated where strengths and weaknesses in the various domains needed forlearning are determined. Only then will we stop the cycle of failure and lack of success that plague toomany students.

Laurel.If they can do it, why cant

we? he asked.The focus of the fundraising is

going to be on families with chil-dren in the Mt. Laurel School Dis-trict. Leonard said many currentLenape parents will not get to seetheir kids play on the field.

Leonard herself no longer has

kids at Lenape, but said she is mo-tivated to help improve the schoolcommunity and make the facili-ties better for future student-ath-letes.

I love the sport of lacrosse,she said. Our kids should havethe same comparable fields to theother schools.

The turf field will be used forfootball, soccer, field hockey and

lacrosse. The committee is hopingto connect with Mt. Laurelsyouth athletic organizations in

those sports to encourage parentsto fundraise. Leonard noted thetownship already has turf fieldsfor its programs and expects sup-port from the community.

The feeder programs alreadyplay on a turf field, she said.Transition to a grass field does-nt make sense.

The turf project is operatingunder the umbrella of the LenapeAthletic Foundation. To help withfundraising, the foundation is

planning multiple events.A gala is being planned fornext year, and Yaffa said the com-mittee is looking at otherfundraising events, such as a golfouting.

So far, the fundraising effort isoff to a strong start. The turfproject has already received$10,000 thanks to a donation fromGroup One Automotive. They are

hoping other local businesses willalso help the project.

Yaffa said there is a plan to cre-

ate a wall at Driscoll Stadium dis-playing the names of the donors.For everyone involved, this ismore than just a fundraiser. Its acommunity coming together tosupport their kids.

This is going to be a fun proj-ect, Tom said. Its something forthe entire community.

Donations can be mailed toLenape Athletic Foundation/Turf, 235 Hartford Road, MedfordNJ 08055. The committee has also

set up a website, www.lenapeturf.com, where residentswill be able to make a donationonline. Lenape Turf also has aFacebook page where the latestnews on the project will be post-ed.

Each grade took about an hourout of its school day to run 30 to35 laps around the gym.

Boosterthon is a completelynew concept for everyone in-volved. Springville is the firstschool in South Jersey to partici-pate in the program.

The PTO opted to do Boost-erthon in place of multiple small-er fundraisers. In the smallerfundraisers, the PTO only kept 10percent to 15 percent of themoney raised. With Boosterthon,it will keep 45 percent.

It is far better than most otherfundraisers, Bollar said.

The other positive aspect is inthe character-building activities.Mitchell said the students aremore attentive during Boost-erthon activities, and it helps gets

their message across better.Ryan Arnold, one of the mem-

bers of the Boosterthon team,said they used music, video andfun physical activities to get thekids interested.

Its all about building charac-ter in the classroom, he said.Its built with enthusiasm and adialogue.

Boosterthon fundraisers have adifferent theme for each schoolyear. This year, students got toview music videos and learnsongs. The videos helped teachthe students how to be an upfrontleader and work together withtheir classmates.

The lesson is all about team-work and how to be a leader oncampus, Arnold said.

The message has gotten acrossto the students and has spreadoutside the school walls. Mitchellsaid shes received feedback from

parents on how their child has ap-plied the character-building skillslearned during Boosterthon ac-tivities.

The character building hasalso increased excitement in thefundraising aspect. Bollar saidabout 80 percent of the studentbody signed up to fundraise onBoosterthon, nearly double thenumber of fundraisers from pre-vious years. In addition, about 70percent of students have gotten atleast one pledge.

While the PTO doesnt haveconcrete numbers as of yet, Bol-lar believes smaller fundraisersmay be a thing of the past, sinceBoosterthon resulted in more par-ticipation and allows the PTO tokeep more of the money raised.

Our goal is to have a majorfundraiser in the fall and one inthe spring instead of severalsmaller events, Bollar said.

In the first year of the pro-gram, students at Lenape andSeneca are participating in an In-troduction to Engineering coursewhere they are introduced to thesubject.

Mike Condurso, the instructorfor the first class at Lenape thisyear, explained the students arelearning the engineering processso they will be able to succeed infuture courses.

Theyre using the engineeringdesign process, which is similarto the scientific process, Condur-so said. Theyll be keeping an en-gineering notebook.

The students are also partici-pating in their first engineeringprojects that are meant to emu-late the same thought process en-gineers use in the real world.

Already this year, students atboth schools have made a number

of projects. One is a device calleda fling machine. The machine ismade out of balloons, pipe clean-ers, rubber bands, paper clips andaluminum foil, and is designed to

launch a cotton ball as far as pos-sible.

Another project students haveworked on is a miniature cablecar. The car is made up of rubberbands, cardboard tubes, tape anda plastic propeller. Students wereasked to move the car with a fig-urine inside along a thin strand offishing line.

Students participating in theprogram will move on to more ad-vanced courses in the comingyears. During their senior year,the classes will be equivalent tocollege-level courses.

Its modeled after a senior en-gineering experience at the col-lege level, Condurso said. Theywill partner with a mentor inbusiness and industry.

The Pathways to Engineeringprogram will be open to Shawneeand Cherokee freshmen begin-ning in the fall of 2015.
