Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are now into the hustle and bustle of the season. The holidays are approaching quickly and the anticipation and work will seem to last an eternity compared to the holidays themselves. As the excitement for the holidays build, we know that our students will continue to work hard throughout the second marking period.

In the spirit of the season, I would like to recognize and commend our students, parents, and staff for their efforts in giving back to our local community. The TRIN family has shown its caring and compassionate nature through our successful food, coat and toy drives. There is nothing more gratifying than to watch our students develop into responsible, giving citizens of our community who remember those in need.

I would like to thank the students, parents, and staff members who helped make the PTO Gift Auction, “Welcome to the Neighborhood” a wonderful success. It was an exciting night and a great time to spend together as TRIN’s school community.

Our winter concerts are upon us and the School Musical, Willy Wonka, Jr. is just around the corner. Please mark your calendars for these upcoming events. Our winter sports have just gotten under way as well. We hope to see you at a game!

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in your child’s education here at TRIN. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the entire TRIN staff, I wish you warm thoughts and best wishes for you and your family during this holiday season and throughout the New Year.

Always my best,

Lynn M. Fronzak Principal

Halting Cyber Bullying: A Parental Guide The Ocean County Human Relations Commission will present “Cyber bullying: What You Need to Know as a Parent” Thursday Dec. 8 at 6:30 p.m. in Ocean County Library’s Mancini Hall at the Toms River branch, 101 Washington St. The program will feature the movie “Sticks and Stones.” The movie examines the dangers and consequences of cyber bullying through the experiences of a young man who is taunted by a bully and abandoned by his friends. “Sticks and Stones” looks at several relevant issues that face today’s teens that are of concern to parents, particularly regarding the dangers of Internet bullying, harassment, peer pressure, the role of the bystander, hate speech and suicide. Detective James Hill, High Tech Crime Unit Supervisor in the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, will introduce the movie and offer suggestions for how parents can help their children to deal with the dangers inherent in online communications. Tom Mongelli, Shore News Bureau Chief for Townsquare Media, will be the emcee for the program and facilitate a discussion with the audience after the movie is shown. Anthony Pierro, Supervising Assistant Prosecutor in the Juvenile Justice Division, will explain the new anti-bullying laws in New Jersey. The presentation is free and designed for parents, teachers and other interested adults. Because of the sensitive nature of the film, anyone under the age of 18 will not be admitted. Registration for the program begins Nov. 10 and can be made by contacting the library operator at (732) 349-6200 or (609) 971-0514, or online at www.theoceancountylibrary.org . Continuing education credits are available. The presentation is co-sponsored by the Ocean County Library, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, Jersey Shore PFLAG, and the Ocean County College Office of Multicultural Services.

Students are “Digging” Into Science at Intermediate NorthStudents are “Digging” Into Science at Intermediate NorthStudents are “Digging” Into Science at Intermediate NorthStudents are “Digging” Into Science at Intermediate North

We are very excited to dedicate part of the Toms River Intermediate North campus to a rain garden. A rain garden is an area of land cultivated with plants native to our area of New Jersey. This project is a partnership between The Ocean County Soil Conservation District, The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection: Forest Re-source Education Center, and Toms River Intermediate North. The rain garden will benefit our school by:

Enhancing the Environmental Science portion of the 8th Grade Curriculum. Providing an outdoor classroom that can be utilized by all teachers. Absorbing excess rain water Filtering pollutants Providing homes to native and migratory species, such as birds, butterflies,

etc. Creating a positive, aesthetic environment on our campus.

On Monday, November 28th, students from Mrs. DiFabio’s and Miss Seavers’ class ventured out into the barren court-yard that lies between C-Wing and D-Wing. The students transformed this once compacted soil to a native New Jersey plant sanctuary. Our rain gar-den is lined with Bayberry bushes, Red Oak trees, Dogwood trees, Seaside Golden Rod, Red Maple, Atlantic White Cedar, Magnolia trees, daylilies, American

Holly, and many other native species. The rain garden now has two picnic ta-bles, a podium, Eastern Blue Bird box, bird feeder, and numerous benches.

Mrs. DiFabio and Miss Seavers would like to thank Mrs. Fronzak, the vol-unteers from the Ocean County Soil Conservation District, the Forest Re-source Education Center, and the MATES school for assisting with the

planting and making this all possible. We would also like to con-gratulate all of the students from cycles 83 and 84 for a job very well done!

Congratulations Emma Downs! Emma Downs, a seventh grade student at Intermediate North, was awarded first place in the middle school division of the Toms River Veterans Commission annual essay contest. Emma wrote and submitted an excellent essay on this year’s topic, “Are You Proud of Your Country,” after her teachers, Mrs. DiMarzio and Mrs. Cagliostro, encouraged students to participate. In choosing her as their winner, judges from the Veterans Commis-sion praised Emma for her skills and sophistication as a writer. She re-ceived a cash prize, and she was rec-ognized at both a Veterans Commis-sion award ceremony and a Toms River Regional Schools Board of Edu-cation meeting. We congratulate Emma on this fine accomplishment.

The Marching Dolphin Band of Intermediate North performed for the Toms River Halloween Parade on October 31st, 2011. The night was filled with great excitement and energy of Halloween. The students looked and sounded great! The Dolphin Band also performed to honor our Veterans on November 11th during the Toms River Veteran’s day Parade.
