Eastern graduate will

Teach For America

Summertime sliding

Voorhees native Katie Price to bring

quality education to high-need,
low-income Indianapolis community
By ZANE CLARK
The Sun

BRIGIT BAUMA/The Sun

Christopher Quartey, 1, and brother Preston, 3, get ready to race down slides at the playground at
Connolly Park on Wednesday, Aug. 26, enjoying the last few days of the unofficial end to summer.

Voorhees native Katie Price

knows she had a great education
growing up.
In 2011, she graduated from
Eastern Regional High School,
and just a few months ago, she
graduated from Mount St. Mary's
University in Maryland with a degree in English and a minor in education and business.
Starting this school year, Price
hopes to give something back by
trying to bring quality education
similar to what she had in her
own life to a high-need, low-income community in Indianapolis
through the non-profit organization Teach For America.
As described in TFAs mission
statement, the organization started in 1990 as way to "enlist, develop and mobilize the nation's
promising future leaders to
grow and strengthen the movement for educational equity and
excellence."
The organization sets out to accomplish that mission by selecting college graduates to teach for

a commitment
period of two
years in lowincome communities
across the nation.
Thats
where Price
comes in.
I had a
PRICE
very great education growing up, and it's something you kind of take for granted, Price said. When you see the
same public education system for
someone else and it looks so different, it kind of boggles the mind
that were selling it as the same
thing for everybody.
Price said she first learned of
TFA as a freshman in college
from an upperclassman involved
with the organization while the
two served on the student government association. She learned
more about the organization with
a professor during her junior
year while participating in an independent study.

Voorhees Public Schools gear up

for 20152016 school year
By BRIGIT BAUMA
The Sun
Voorhees Township Public
Schools are all ready to go for the
first day of school, beginning
Sept. 8 for all students.
At the Voorhees Township Public Schools Board of Education
meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 26,
there was discussion of the new
school year as well as reports on
the Basic Skills Improvement
Program, the districts Annual
Special Education Plan and the
Anti-Bullying Bill of RightsSchool Self Assessment.
Were ready to go and ready
for another great year, Business
Administrator/Board Secretary
Frank T. DeBerardinis said.
All schools begin on Tuesday,
Sept. 8 after Labor Day with a full
day. The schools will have off the
usual holidays, and spring break
will be March 25 through April 1.
The last day for all students is
planned for June 20 with an early
dismissal.
This year is a little unique.
Labor Day just happened to fall
on the seventh. We have the full
day for students on Sept. 8; it is
not the usual half session. Just
wanted everyone to remember
that, Superintendent Raymond
J. Brosel Jr. said.
With transportation, the district has a new software system
called Transfinder that will work
with the schools student data system, allowing for no more bus
passes.
Also new is the digital math
program that was piloted in January and was approved to be used
for all students in grades seven
and eight starting this year. The
name of the program is Discovery Educations Math Techbook, an online digital course
that supplements the current
math curriculum while also
being aligned with the state common core standards and containing problems that mimic those on
the annual PARCC assessments.
PARCC this year will have a
change in the timeframe of the
test. Previously, PARCC was pre-

in our opinion

New Jersey has a heroin problem

We need to do something to stop the growing issue

108 Kings Highway East

eroin is a dangerous drug. We

all know that. But for a long
time, it was a drug that remained out of the mainstream, reserved, in many peoples minds, for
the inner cities.
Somewhere, somehow, a few years
ago, though, the awful drug made its
way out of tiny inner circles and has
become an epidemic throughout our
state.
The Department of Human Services
Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services released a report in May
that found that in 2014, 28,332 people in
New Jersey were admitted into substance abuse treatment programs with
heroin or another opiate listed as the
individuals primary drug. Thats almost half of the 64,766 people who en-

in heroin use and related deaths? What
can we do to stop it? Share your
thoughts on this, and other topics,
through a letter to the editor.

tered treatment programs last year.

More terrifying is the significant increase in the number of heroin-related
deaths. In 2009, 351 heroin deaths were
reported in New Jersey, according to
the state Department of Criminal Justice. That number jumped to 449 in
2011, up to 591 in 2012, then 741 in 2013
and finally 781 last year.
The state has been trying to curb
this problem by first giving life-saving
Narcan kits to police departments
throughout New Jersey, and then ex-

panding that program to provide the

kits to anyone police or not who
completes training.
Its great that there is a tool that can
help save the life of someone who has
overdosed on heroin. But saving the
life in that instance does not stop that
person from taking the drug.
The next step in our states fight
against heroin must be more educational and treatment programs, readily available to kids at a young age. Can
we build more facilities and expand
drug prevention education?
The way to stop heroin-related
deaths is to prevent people from using
the drug in the first place. Because,
once they use the drug, its an uphill
battle fighting its highly-addictive nature.

Plan transportation for popes visit Sept. 2528

Pope Francis will be visiting Philadelphia at the end of September, and his arrival is anticipated to be the largest event
in Philadelphia history, with more than 2
million people expected to visit the area
during the popes stay.
The pontiff will be spending Thursday,
Sept. 24 and Friday, Sept. 25 in New York
City. The pope will be arriving at the
Philadelphia International Airport at 9:30
a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26. He will attend Mass
at Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and
Paul at 10:30 a.m. and is scheduled to visit
Independence Mall at 4:45 p.m. His last
event of the day is a visit to Festival of
Families and World Meeting of Families at
7:30 p.m. On Sunday, his first scheduled activity is a meeting at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary at 9:15 a.m. followed by an
11 a.m. visit to the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility. The pope will hold Mass
for the World Meeting of Families at 4 p.m.
and departs for Rome at 8 p.m.

The state Department of Transportation estimates

more than 250,000
additional cars will
be
traveling
through our state
that
weekend,
which will generate the equivalent
of 110 to 430 lane
miles of bumperto-bumper traffic
each day.
During
this
weekend, prepare
Michael
for extensive travMignogna
el delays and road
closures as the MAYORS MESSAGE
area
accommodates this historic event. The Ben Franklin
Bridge will be closed to vehicular traffic
starting at 10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25 and is

not expected to reopen for vehicles until

noon Monday, Sept. 28. The bridge will only
be open to pedestrians and bicycles during
this time. Due to the bridge closure,
NJDOT will close I-676 northbound from
Exit 3 to the Ben Franklin Bridge, as well
as Route 30 (White Horse Pike) westbound
from the Airport Circle (Route 38/Route
130). Motorists looking to cross into
Philadelphia should follow posted detours
and electronic message signs.
PATCO will provide nonstop service to
Center City Philadelphia from the Lindenwold, Woodcrest, Ferry Avenue and Broadway Stations only. Parking at PATCO stations will be extremely limited and Freedom Cards that can be used during this
time must be purchased in advance; there
will be no day of event sales. For more information, visit www.ridepatco.org/PapalVisit.

Roadway improvement
projects for the fall
By Freeholder Ian Leonard
The Camden
County Freeholder
Boards Department
of Public Works
(CCDPW) has scheduled roadway improvement projects
benefitting motorists
in several Camden
County communities
throughout the fall.
Improving our roadway infrastructure while increasing highway safety
is one of the best investments we can
make in our county. Each year the
Freeholder Board identifies roadways and bridges that are in need of
improvement across our County.
About $400,000 in enhancements
are taking place at the intersection of
Factory and Tansboro Roads in
Winslow Township that will bring a
new traffic light to this well-traveled
juncture. Over the years as more residents have moved into the southern
portion of the county, vehicle volume
has grown creating the need for a signalized intersection.
Southern Camden County has experienced a growth of businesses and
homes that have brought with it increased traffic. We are continually
improving our roadway infrastructure to keep up with that growth and
anticipate future demand. In addition, having a controlled intersection
will make it safer for both pedestrian,
bike and motor vehicle traffic in the
area.
Also this fall, a $1 million project
for the reconstruction of Stone Road
between the White Horse Pike and
East Atlantic Avenue will result in a
newly paved roadway surface, new
drainage infrastructure and additional concrete work through the boroughs of Laurel Springs and
Lindenwold.
Stone Road has is a major artery
through Laurel Springs and Lindenwold so Im happy to see this project
underway. Besides repaving the

drainage work on this

project will benefit
the quality of life for
residents and businesses in the area.
We appreciate the
patience and understanding of motorists
for any inconvenience
they may experience
due to traffic delays or
detours which will be posted if necessary during these improvement projects. The exact timing of all of these
projects will be determined by the
weather and other factors.
The Camden County Department
of Public Works is responsible for
maintaining 1,200 lane miles of
county roadway and 50 bridges. They
are dedicated to making our area
safer for motorists and pedestrians
through county highway construction projects and road maintenance,
including pothole repairs, street
sweeping, grass cutting and storm
drainage upkeep.
To help us identify areas in need of
improvement, the Freeholder Board
asks for your assistance in reporting
road hazards to the Camden County
Public Works Hotline (856) 566-2980.
We need you to become engaged in
this effort to make Camden County a
better place to live and drive. The Department of Public Works Hotline is
answered 24 hours a day, seven days a
week and provides direct access to a
significant department with a core
mission of keeping cars on the roads
and our region moving.
Again, to report concerns on Camden County roadways, call our Public
Works Hotline at (856) 566-2920 or visit
www.camdencounty.com. If you have
any other questions about County
services, please call me at (856) 2255305 or email me at [email protected]. Also, you can like us

Be social.
District hires school psychologist
Like us on
to replace social worker at middle school Facebook!
DISTRICT
Continued from page 5

some basic skills teachers and the

extended day program.
Elaine Hill, director of special
services, gave a report on the districts Annual Special Education
Plan. She said the school district
hired a new school psychologist
to replace the social worker who
was at the Voorhees Middle
School. It chose a school psychologist because that person can wear

more hats and provide more services in the role.

According to Hill, there has
been a decrease in staff over the
past five years due to the fewer
number of special education positions needed at the elementary
level, but the middle school level
has remained the same. Special
education has been down 30 percent, and Hill attributed this to
the students needing special education growing older, fewer preschool students and transfer students needing special education
coming in, and students declassified from special education.

Price went through

five-week training course
PRICE
Continued from page 1

I know Teach For America

doesnt see itself as the only solution for all of these problems in
the education system, but its a
great way to keep talented people
... coming into the educational
system and hopefully change
things, Price said.
While education was only one
of her minors, Price said one of
the reasons she was attracted to
the program was because it allowed her to experience teaching
firsthand and see if it was for her.
Teach For America gives you
that classroom experience and
the certification that goes with it,
so I could study teaching English
in college and now decide if
teaching was for me, Price said.
Before beginning teaching,
those admitted to the TFA program must go through a five-week
training course.
Price said above all else, TFA
taught her not to come into the
experience thinking she alone
could change every problem in
the education system and solve

every problem in every one of her

students lives.
They taught me to expect
nothing, to not come in with any
assumptions, dont assume I
know what my students are going
through in their personal lives,
dont assume I know the situation
going on in the community just
come in with an open mind,
Price said.
That mindset may serve Price
well, as she was set to start her
teaching in late August at Marion
Academy, a new charter school in
Indianapolis, unique in that it
specifically targets students who
have been suspended or expelled
from other schools or who
have been placed in juvenile detention.
Throughout the 2014-15 school
year, 10,600 TFA corps members
taught in 50 regions across the
country along with 37,000 alumni
working to ensure childrens access to quality education.
I would hope and expect by
the end of it that I would have a
much better awareness of whats
needed to help a student in an educational setting and just way
more experience and tools to be
effective in a classroom, Price
said.

Email us at [email protected]

Though the number of referrals

for assessment of students has increased, those actually classified
has dropped to 11.8 percent.
The goal is to get those students who are on the cusp into the
proficient range, Hill said.
District Anti-Bullying Coordinator Susan Donnelly gave the results of the Anti-Bullying Bill of
Rights School Self Assessment.
For July 1, 2014 to June 30, there
were 28 reported incidents, six of
which were confirmed.
