By KATHLEEN DUFFY

The Haddonfield SunAn average assessed home of

$491,359 in the borough will seean increase of $194.40 in schooltaxes per year, or $16.20 permonth, according to Business Ad-ministrator Dawn Leary.

The 2013-2014 school budgetwas unanimously adopted byboard members with a 1.98 per-cent tax levy increase at theThursday, March 21 Board of Ed-ucation meeting.

We did not go up to the full 2percent, Leary said.

Ratables are down more than$19 million, which affects thewhole budget, she said.

There was, however, a slight in-crease in state aid of $32,348.

Now, the budget will be sent toCamden County for final ap-proval, which completes thebudget process for the year, Su-

perintendent Richard Perry said.View the complete budget

breakdown, along with presenta-tions, by visiting http://www.had-donfield.k12.nj.us.

Perry plans to make recom-mendations to the buildings andgrounds committee to move for-ward with security initiatives, in-cluding the installation of duressalarms in the districts three ele-mentary schools.

It puts the whole process inplace with just the push of a but-ton, he said.

The change would be part ofthe first round of security up-grades.

While there are phases to theplan, it is never actually a donedeal, he said.

(Security is) something thatsongoing, he said. This isnt theend.

letters to the editor

In November, New Jersey voters

will have the opportunity to ap-

prove a bill that would increase the

states minimum wage from $7.25 per

hour to $8.25 per hour, starting in Sep-

tember 2014. An approving vote would

also kick in automatic cost-of-living in-

creases each year based on the Con-

sumer Price Index.

In his State of the Union address

this year, President Obama recom-

mended raising the minimum wage to

$9 per hour. If Congress approves of

that measure, it would take effect na-

tionwide.

Not surprisingly, though, small busi-

ness owners in New Jersey are over-

whelmingly against raising the mini-

mum wage. The New Jersey chapter of

the National Federation of Independ-

ent Business showed that 93 percent of

its members oppose the move. NFIB

Director Laurie Ehlbeck called the re-

sults one of the most one-sided shes

ever seen.

And it should be no surprise as to

why.

The states, and the countrys,

biggest current employment problem

isnt that workers are paid too little; its

that there arent enough jobs available.

Raising the minimum wage, forcing

small business owners to spend more

money, is not a solid tactic to encour-

age hiring. The focus should be on in-

centivizing small business owners to

hire more workers, not to pay their

current workers more money.

The governments logic is misguided

if it believes that the reason that un-

employed workers wont take entry-

level jobs is that the salary isnt high

enough. Thats part of the problem,

true, but thats mainly because our

government is incentivizing people not

to work,with the structure of unem-

ployment benefits being what theyve

been for so long now.

It would be a shame for a bill like

this to pass at a time when the states

job market just reported positive gains.

The state Labor Department reported

recently that New Jersey gained 66,400

jobs in 2012, the largest such jump

since 2000.

Sure, were still way off the pre-re-

cession employment rate, but at least

its a start.

Our local and federal governments

need to find a way incentivize small

businesses to hire, instead of burden-

ing them with yet another added cost

of doing business.

in our opinion

Put people to workCreating more jobs, not raising minimum wage, is the answer

Your thoughts?

Do you plan on voting for or against thestate constitutional amendment thatwould raise New Jerseys minimumwage by $1 to $8.25 per hour?

Rochford will bring stabilityto Haddonfield, writer saysOne of my votes will be for Neal this

year.My wife and I moved to Haddonfield

about 20 years ago, which is recent by Had-donfield standards. Its a great town andIve always been proud to be a part of thiscommunity. Haddonfield is so much moreof a community than any other place Ivelived. There is a distinct charm here thatbrings in visitors, and turns visitors intoresidents. In our cookie-cutter world, Had-

donfield is uncommon among sameness.Beyond the physical dimensions, our

town has a vibrant spirit of volunteerismand personal investment within the com-munity; these rare elements that are com-mon among many here.

Ive lived here for enough years to value

and appreciate the wisdom of the long-term view on Haddonfield. It is the com-mitment to long-term prosperity and vi-sion that has kept our town growing andthriving for so many years, even through adifficult economy.

Haddonfield continues to stand out inour county, our region and our state as oneof the best places to live, work and raise afamily.

Neal Rochford embodies this spirit ofHaddonfield; his investment of personaltime, effort and care in the community andcommunity organizations is significant

and extensive.I believe that Neal embodies the long

view for Haddonfields prosperity.As a resident committed to the best of

Haddonfield, Neals perspective is essentialin the planning process now and for the

next generation. Ill vote for Neal because

one of my votes needs to be cast for the sta-bility and the vision he brings to the job.William Graves

We have attended the Februaryplanning board meeting, whereMayor Colombi, CommissionerBorden, Steve Walko and Mr.LaProcido were present, askingfor borough oversight to be exer-cised in regard to HLL and a copyof the written guidelines for oper-ation of the baseball fields onProspect Road.

Joseph Trombetta

Writer: BOE overextendspower over kids

Well, the chickens may have fi-nally come home to roost. TheRiver City, Haddonfield BOE mayhave to face the judicial music inthe near future; for overextendingits power over school kids, whenthey are off school property.

Several years ago, school kidswere disciplined by school offi-cials for unsavory behavior offschool grounds. They were even-tually sued by the involved par-ents because their kids futurescholastic careers were damaged.

I hope any lawyer fees and cashsettlements don't find their wayinto tax bills for the citizens. Thenext thing to look for, will be 16oz. sodas; and Doritos for lunch

snacks.Major Joe Welsh, USAF Retired

Connor Poisel (center) wins the HMS Geography Bee after a close and exciting competition. SeamusGlennon (left) and David Doyle (right) were the runners-up.

By Anna Haley

On January 11, 2013, Haddon-field Middle Schools 7th and 8thgrade participated in the annualGeography Bee. With 50 studentson the stage, and the rest of the7th and 8th grade in the audience,it was quite a day to remember.Not only was it filled with inter-esting geographical facts, it wasalso humorous. With Mr. Farrellas the announcer, his witty re-marks and George stories weremuch appreciated by the audi-ence as well as the contestants.

Mr. Farrell tells us, As a com-

mentator, this Geography in par-ticular was very intriguing be-cause all three finalists really hadthe opportunity to win. Therewere a ton of suspenseful mo-ments!

To begin the bee, contestantswere asked three rounds of multi-ple choice questions about thestates in America.

Two students at a time wouldapproach their microphones toanswer. The quick pace of thequestioning kept everyone on

their toes.It wasnt until the fourth round

that the contest got tense. Contest-ants were asked questions relat-ing to the seven continents andmultiple choices were not givenin this round. Many contestantswere eliminated narrowing itdown to the final ten.

Then, contestants were given achalkboard and a map of theUnited States.

When a question was asked, ananswer had to be written on the

chalkboard in a limited amountof time.

The audience was also given amap by way of a projector so theycould imagine the answer.

When an answer was given, thecontestant said their answer outloud so everyone could hear it.The three judges, Ms. Izzo, Mr.Thomas, and Mr. Provoznak, de-cided whether the answer wascorrect or incorrect according totheir official answer sheets.When a contestants answer waswrong, they were asked to take aseat at the back of the stage withthe other contestants.

The competition was the mostexciting when only four contest-ants remained. According to theofficial rules, in order to win the

entire Geography Bee, a contest-ant must have been the only oneto get that question right, andmust be able to get the next ques-tion asked right also. If that per-son can answer the second ques-tion directed towards them, theyare declared the winner. Manytimes contestants were unable tocorrectly answer the second ques-tion.

When Connor Poisel was theonly one left to get the questionright, he was then asked the fol-

low-up question. If he didnt an-swer the question correctly, thecompetition would continue, butif he did, he would be declaredthe winner.

When his final answer waslocked on his chalkboard, the en-tire audience stared in awe.Cheers erupted from the audi-ence when his final answer wascorrect and he was declared the2013 winner of the HMS Geogra-phy Bee.

Connor sates, It was so nerve-

racking when I was up there, butit was extremely exciting that Iwas able to celebrate my victoryafter the second year participat-ing in the Geography Bee!

Three hundred-thats a bignumber! Especially when you are

referring to the number of yearsthat a small town has beenaround. This year, with eventsscheduled throughout the year,Haddonfield will be celebratingits 300th birthday; that is longerthan the Aztec and MacedonianEmpires combined.

It all started in 1713 when Eliza-beth Haddon along with her hus-band, John Estaugh, built a homein what is now the Estates sectionof Haddonfield. They settled on aportion of 500 acres that her fa-

ther, John Haddon, had bought toescape religious persecution.John was a Quaker and a friendof William Penn and Haddonfieldis named after him. Elizabeth

was well educated and she usedthis knowledge to help expandher town by creating plots of landand buildings for farmers and ar-

tisans. When Haddonfield wasfirst settled, there were about 50people living here. Now, there areover 11,000.

To celebrate Haddonfields Tri-centennial, the town has manyevents planned throughout theyear including a series of openhouses at the Indian King Tavern.The Indian King Tavern will alsobe the location for a reading ofthe Declaration of Independenceon July 4. Historical actors por-traying Elizabeth Haddon and

John Estaugh will visit 3rd and4th grade classrooms and appearat other events dedicated to theTricentennial. In the fall of 2013,The Historical Society of Had-

donfield will be publishing a biog-raphy of Elizabeth Haddon Es-taugh. For more informationabout Haddonfields history or

the Tricentennial events visit thenew A website www.haddon-field300.org.

It might be hard to imaginewhat life was like in Haddonfield300 years ago. There certainlywas no Starbucks, which wouldhave been a shame for the adults,and no Happy Hippo, whichwould have been sad for the kids.One thing that is the same is thestrong sense of family and com-munity that runs throughoutHaddonfield. It was important

300 years ago and it still is impor-tant today. So, join with familyand friends to celebrate Haddon-fields 300th birthday no pres-ents required!

After a tense and competitive Spelling Bee at HMS, the contestants are narrowed down to those picturedabove. These students will compete in a school Spell Off to determine who will compete in the CountyBee.

By Jenna ZappettiStudents from 6th, 7th and 8th

grade gathered on February 13,2013 in the Haddonfield MiddleSchool gym to participate in theannual school-wide Scripps Na-tional Spelling Bee. To qualify forthe Bee, every student took a writ-ten test in Language Arts classconsisting of 25 challengingwords that tested their spellingabilities.

quence.There were a lot of words

from the list we were given tostudy, recalls Sophie Hamilton,one of the winners from 8thgrade. That helped but I was re-ally nervous and it was reallynerve-racking to go in front of thewhole school and spell!

Each student had to stand infront of two judges, an announcerand all of their peers and teach-ers while attempting to spell thegiven word with complete accura-cy. The students ability to con-

centrate under pressure was test-ed along with their ability tospell. The winners of the school-wide Bee include Marcia Baker,Julia Bersani, Will Buzzard, Julia

Chin, Joseph DeSimone, BrennanDews, Maura Dodson, Sean Far-rell, Paul Gerlach, Claire Haitsch,Sophie Hamilton, Isaac Ja-cobowitz, Teo Lupinetti, JaimeMcComick, Lachlan Mersky,William Michael and GracePasco.

On January 18, 2013 Haddon-field Middle School suffered froma tragic loss. The seventh gradeguidance counselor, Mr. Toto, aman of many kind words anddeeds for others, passed away. Stu-dents, teachers, and staff wereshocked when the devastatingnews broke out.

Mr. Toto and I worked togeth-er for five years and he inter-viewed me. He is the reason Imhere.

Mr. Toto was a genuine per-son, says eighth grade counselorMrs. McKelvey.

Soon after Mr. Toto passed, stu-dents, teachers, and staff sharedtheir memories, thoughts andfeelings about their wonderfultime with Mr. Toto on large whitebanners displayed on his officedoor and the bulletin boardacross the hall.

The banners and many sympa-thy cards were sent to Mr. Totosfamily from HMS.

Mr. Toto is survived by his wifeMary Kirby Toto, his childrenJohn J. Toto Jr. and MaryKayMahar (Peter); his brother JosephR. Toto; his nephew Esther Papaand two granddaughters, Luciand Charley. Born in Philadel-phia, Mr. Toto was the son of thelate John S. and Mary FrisinaToto.

Mr. Totos family expressed

their gratitude to HMS in the fol-lowing statement Our familywas overwhelmed by the love andsupport that HMS has shown usduring this tough time. It reallyhelped us to understand Johns(Mr. Toto) impact on your schooland community.

In addition to his legacy as acaring counselor, Mr. Toto was alife skills teacher and the founderof the Haddonfield Middle SchoolPeer Leaders Program. The PeerLeaders are seventh and eighth

grade students who strive to helpothers, make the world a betterplace, and become fantastic lead-ers.

A few activities Peer Leaders

partake in are tutoring at the Fel-lowship House in Camden, NewJersey, assisting school guestsduring Back to School Night andconferences, and most important-ly, being outstanding role models.

Mr. Toto had faith in every stu-dent and their potential to lead.For students who were not accept-ed into seventh grade peer lead-ers, Mr. Toto created the Leader-ship Club.

During the club meetings, hetrained every child to improvetheir leadership skills whileworking hand-in-hand with thecurrent peer leaders.

By the end of the year, everystudent in Leadership Club wasselected to be an eighth gradePeer Leader.

Mr. Toto exemplified theamount of caring and compas-sion that any educator shouldpossess. He will be dearly missedby students and staff members

alike, says Mr. Kozak, an eighthgrade science teacher.In addition to his dedication to

Haddonfield Middle School, Mr.Toto was also a member of theHaddonfield Rotary Club and wonthe Spirit of Philadelphia Awardin 1986 when he was President ofThe Bridge.

Many compassionate studentsand teachers attended his view-ing to pay their respects onWednesday January 23. The fu-neral was held on Thursday, Jan-

uary 24 at the Immaculate Con-ception D.V.M.

One of his students, OliviaConquest, stated, Mr. Toto willbe dearly missed. HaddonfieldMiddle School will never be thesame without him.

The first day Mr. Toto enteredHaddonfield Middle School, 35years ago, he was determined tomake the school a better place.And thats exactly what he did.

In memory of Mr. Toto, his for-mer office has been converted

into a guidance waiting room forstudents.

A plaque dedicating the spacein Mr. Totos honor will be dis-played in the room.

HMS MournsTragic Loss

History books came to life asthe 6th grade class visited the

Penn Museum on January 23rd toget a glimpse of the cultures theyhave been studying in SocialStudies.

When they arrived at the muse-um, each homeroom went on aguided tour of a different exhibit.University of Pennsylvania stu-dents guided HMS students tovarious cultural exhibits includ-ing Rome, China, Mesopotamia,Greece, and Israel.

The galleries contained thou-sands of preserved artifacts such

as jewelry, metalwork, mosaics,glass vessels, gold and silvercoins, and pottery. Because of thediversity of artifacts, the gal-leries provided a positive learn-

ing experience and allowed thestudents to experience manyunique cultures.

Exhibits of Rome and Greece

highlighted their various godsand beliefs. The Chinese exhibitshowcased an enormous crystalball, while the Israel exhibit in-cluded a room with Israeli archi-tecture. In addition, theMesopotamian exhibit showcasedtheir different inventions.

Many students stated that theyenjoyed the trip. I liked lookingat the different countries and cul-tures. said 6th grader JennyScott.

My favorite part was seeing

the people work on mummifyingthe mummy, said 6th grader LilySamaha.

Another 6th grader namedTeddy Decencio said, I really

liked the China exhibit becausein the middle of the exhibit therewas a big crystal ball.

After the guided tours students

were allowed to explore the ex-hibits and choose where theywanted to go. Then, students par-ticipated in a scavenger huntusing clues to find objects thatrepresented writing, daily life,women, religion, government,and currency.

Sixth grade Social Studies andLanguage Arts teacher Mrs. Had-den said, My class especially en-joyed the Egyptian exhibit be-cause of all of the mummies andartifacts. Also they had a new

room where they showed thestages of mummification whicheven had a mummified cat and al-ligator. The trip was a positivelearning experience for everyone.

In this generation, technologyhas been used more than ever:toddlers entertain themselveswith iPads during long flights,teenagers text into the midnighthours with their smart phones,

and the everyday TV show ormovie is a new wonderland foryoung minds to escape to.

As a teenager, I have grown upin one of the few households ofmy town without the luxury ofwatching the TV show Sponge-bob Squarepants or Phineasand Ferb on a rectangularscreen in my room.

When my friends learn thisfact, they often respond with astunned expression and ask,How do you live? I explain that I

write, as I am doing now, readmany books, and spend hourssketching. But while I do not owna television, that does not mean Ihave escaped technologys wide,luring embrace. Hours of mychildhood have been spent watch-ing episodes of cancelled showswith my father on his computer,texting friends on an iPhone, andposting my status on Facebookwith my personal laptop. Lets noteven mention the countless videogames I have played. Now, many

children, ages eight and lower, areexposed to this technology veryearly. But how has this affectedour generation?

Access to computers for youngchildren has given a new mean-ing to safety. Many social mediasites ban children who state thattheir date of birth is under 13;however, many children lie abouttheir age to gain access onto sites,particularly Facebook. A study byMcAfee, an American securitysoftware company, found that 37

percent of 10 to 12 year olds haveaccess to Facebook. Naive youngchildren give random strangersaccess to personal informationwith the simple act of accepting a

friend request by clicking amouse. Cyber-bullying finds anew hole to fill in the manytrenches of the Internet. Oneonly needs to ask about AmandaTodd to know that these problemsare more serious than over-pro-tective parents.

Overuse of technology alsoprevents children from having ahealthy social life. Video gamesare a common culprit, with boysspending almost ten hours a week

playing them. The Internet canalso suck in the innocent mindsof children. According to Com-mon Sense Media, an organiza-tion that studies the affects mediaand technology have on youngusers, among teens who own cellphones, 41% answered yeswhen asked whether they woulddescribe themselves as addict-ed to their phones.

Many teenagers text or searchthe Internet on their phones,while in the middle of a conversa-

tion with someone right in frontof them!

However frivolous it maysound, teenagers texting lingohas leaked onto their writing.Teachers across the country havenoticed a decline in properspelling and punctuation. We arebutchering the English languagewith our laziness when we decideto write u instead of you orsay jk instead of just kidding.Spelling common words correctly(however frustrating it is to add

those few, so difficult, so painful,flicks of a wrist to complete theword) is all that is required.

Technology is always chang-ing, and so are the fads of genera-tions.

Speaking in text lingo may justroll over someday, like fashiontrends, but childrens safety andaddiction to the Internet isnt afad. Cell phones arent necessaryfor small children; they dontneed access to technology untilthey are ready to use it responsi-

bly.An iPad given to a four year-old

doesnt qualify as a toy. For thesake of our generation, a bookwill do just fine.

Our Generation Technology Dependent

An Editorial by Jayne Grabowski

Editorials represent the views ofthe writer and do not necessarilyreflect the opinions of the newspa-

per staff or school.

Facebook and other socialmedia networks have given meopportunities to interact withpeople I wouldnt normally talk toand allow me to socialize withfriends from school. Unfortunate-

ly, some people who misuse thesesites cause some to believe thatteens should not have access tothem. However, if teens did nothave access to these sites theywould miss out on several advan-tages. Facebook or other socialnetworking sites provide an easyway to interact with friends, agood way to keep in touch withdistant family members, and aneffective way of getting help withschoolwork.

First of all, Facebook, Twitter

and other social media networksare an easy way to communicatewith friends and peers. I knowthat some of my acquaintanceshave Twitter accounts, and we al-ways chat over them. Its our wayto reminisce about past experi-ences, share funny videos, andgive each other advice. Out of mynine close friends, all of themhave social media accounts andnone of them use them in a harm-ful way.

They just use them to pass time

in a fun and productive way.Imagine a teen sitting alone athome while her parents are atwork. She has nothing to do andno one to talk to. However, she

can talk to people she knows withjust the click of a mouse if shehas Facebook. Without the use ofthese websites, adolescents wouldbe limited to the use of money-wasting cell phones to communi-cate with friends unless they sawthem in person.

In addition to socializing withfriends, social media networkssuch as Facebook are a great wayto keep in touch with far-away rel-atives. With all of the problems

we have in our world today, in theend family is what matters themost. However, many of you mayhave family members that livetowns, states, or even countriesaway. For those of you with dis-tant relatives, you know that longdistance calls are expensive foreven a short conversation. A solu-tion to this problem is Facebook.You could have the longest con-versation in the history of manand it wouldnt cost you a cent.But what if you dont want others

seeing your conversation? Well, itis also possible to make messagesprivate. Now, doesnt that soundbetter than a ten dollar phonecall?

Not only can social media con-nect you with relatives, but itcould also help you academicallyif you use it for the right reasons.Personally, I dont always under-stand homework the first time Ilook at it. Weve all been there;you get home and sit down to doschoolwork and suddenly nothing

you learned that day makessense. But if you have fellowclassmates on these social medianetworks, you can ask for expla-nations or instructions and they

almost always give it to you. Face-book is also very effective if youknow you will be absent becauseyou can request for one of yourfriends to bring home the workyou will miss. I ask for help withhomework over the internet regu-larly, whether it be walkingthrough a math problem or themeaning of a certain metaphor.Twitter and Facebook have im-proved the grades of so many peo-ple I know that it surprises me

that some people feel that teensshouldnt use these sites. Somepeople argue that these sites ruinteens ability to spell but to behonest, that isnt social mediasfault. No one is forcing childrento say u instead of you onthese websites, so the decline ofproper spelling would have hap-pened either way.

Even if youre a good studentto begin with, you can use socialmedia to make you even moresuccessful.

Some people think that if teensare banned from social media itmight limit cyber bullying, butit couldnt even do that becausebullies are going to find a way totorment victims whether they areshielded by a screen or not.Maybe we could improve socialmedia by banning profiles thatspew hate instead of just cuttingit off completely. If you thinkabout it, that would cut out allproblems with social media in-stead of getting rid of all the good

things too.After all, if social media does

more good than harm, there is ab-solutely no reason whatsoever toprevent teens from using it.

The Haddonfield Middle schoolstudent body continues to showenthusiastic school spirit.Throughout Spirit Week, the stu-dents actively participated indressing up according to thetheme of that day. Pajama day,

clash day, and sports day werethree of the days during spiritweek which culminated in theSpirit Day Pep Rally.

On Spirit Day, the student bodyshowed their support for New-town by wearing green and white.

Mrs. Verdeur, a Student Coun-cil advisor stated, Spirit Weekwas a huge success and a greatway for our whole school to cometogether! I was also very proud ofour students for representingSandy Hook Elementary School

in Newtown, Connecticut, bywearing green and white on thefinal day of competition.

As always, the pep rally wasvery competitive and entertain-

ing.Events included the obstacle

course, pie eating, balloon pop-ping, hot spot (basketball), themarshmallow toss and last butnot least Tug O War. The 6th, 7thand 8th grade students as well asteacher representatives from

each grade participated in theseevents. Strongly claiming theschool title this year, the 8thgrade took home the Spirit Weektrophy!

Another special moment at thepep rally was when Dr. Priolohanded the microphone to Mrs.Oakley who gave the students agoodbye message before retiring.You are truly the best part ofworking here, Mrs. Oakley ex-claimed to the crowd of students.

Mrs. Oakley retired after 32

years of teaching, 26 of whichwere at Haddonfield MiddleSchool.

During her time at HMS, shehas served as a reading specialist

and taught Language Arts to allthree grade levels. She was alsothe advisor of the Drama Club formany years.

She will now work as a readingcoach and consultant at a non-profit organization called, Read-ing Assist Institute.

Student Council Shows School Spirit

Got Skis?By Meghan Smartand Briana Gess

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. Almostevery eighth grader in Haddon-field Middle School had alarmsset for 4:45 AM on February 2nd, acold and snowy Saturday morn-ing.

It was freezing outside whichwas just perfect for the annualeighth grade class ski trip to BlueMountain, PA.

Accompanied by their chaper-ones, the students boarded theluxury buses at promptly 6:00 AMto begin the long two-hour jour-

ney north to Blue Mountain. Funmovies entertained the tired, ex-cited students for the ride, whilewarm food fueled their bodieswith the energy theyd need for along day of endless skiing, snow-boarding and tubing.

Every student rode the ski liftsup with all of their friends, readyto get the day started.

For a lot of students, this wastheir first time skiing or snow-boarding and although they wereall excited, many were definitelyfeeling a little bit anxious. I wasreally nervous all the way downthe hill, and I did fall a few times,admitted Abby Bentley, a firsttime snowboarder, but once Iwas done the first hill, the nextone wasnt so bad.

At first, the icy slopes werehard to get used to except for theexperienced skiers and snow-boarders.

For the beginners, the green

hills like Connector and Paradise,were the way to go. For the expert

skiers, the Black Diamonds andDouble Black Diamonds like theChute and Challenger provided afun challenge.

Expert snowboarders, whowanted a thrill, went down LowerSidewinder, a black diamond ter-rain park. The more you wentdown, the easier it got. AugustFalcione, an expert snowboarder,said, It was really fun and cool togo on the terrain with myfriends.

At the end of the day, the

group of exhausted eighthgraders trudged to their buses.They settled into their big, com-fortable seats, and watched PitchPerfect with smiles on their faces,reflecting on the wonderful dayspent in the snow.

My favorite part about the skitrip was riding on the lifts withmy friends, and then skiing downthe mountain right into the lodgewhere we could warm up withsome hot cocoa, said MegSchroeter, who skied for the thirdtime in her life that day.

Most eighth grade studentsagreed that this was a long butthoroughly enjoyable day. All theenergy they had in them was letout on the slopes; all the bruisesthey received were totally worthit, and all the laughs that they hadwould never be forgotten. Satur-day February 2, 2013 will be a last-ing memory for the 2013 eighthgrade class.

After the tragic shooting atSandy Hook Elementary, many

schools began to reexamine theirsafety procedures. The shootingdeeply affected everyone when ittook the lives of twenty kids andsix school staff. Many people won-dered, what can we do to improveour school safety?

Many controversial ideas werediscussed across the nation suchas using armed guards and allow-ing teachers or administrators tocarry weapons. Ohio and Texasare already training teachers tocarry firearms. While some peo-

ple are in favor of this idea, oth-ers are strongly against it. Sup-porters say that an armed teachercan stop a massacre from happen-ing. Those that are against theidea say that allowing teachers tocarry weapons would intimidatestudents and possibly create moredanger.

Most schools are looking tomake more mild changes to theirschool safety procedures. Had-donfield Middle School has al-ready made adjustments since

the shooting at Sandy Hook. Ms.Horwitz, the vice-principal atHMS stated, I dont think it willever get so bad that we have to

have an armed guard in ourschool, but we certainly need totake safety precautions.

Haddonfield Middle Schoolteachers and students are alreadytrained to handle Tier I, I and IIIdrills. Each of these drills has dif-ferent procedures according tothe severity of the situation suchas locking classrooms and mov-ing away from doors and win-dows.

However, since Sandy Hooksome additional precautions have

been added. To improve ourschool safety, we have made manyadjustments. All of our doors arelocked at 7:30 AM now instead of8:30 AM and you have to gothrough the main office doors toenter the building. Students arereminded to never open an exteri-or door for anyone. All visitors tothe school must enter through themain office, explained Mrs. Hor-witz.

One other change that may beconsidered in the future is the

possibility of bringing back aSchool Resource Officer. This po-sition was previously eliminateddue to budget cuts but may need

to be re-implemented at somepoint. These officers can protectstudents and also educate stu-dents about the dangers of drugsand alcohol.

Along with safety proceduresfor the possibility of an intruder,HMS is also implementing weath-er related drills and precautions.Weather related risks were exam-ined after the recent tragedy ofhurricane Sandy. We are defi-nitely taking safety precautionsdealing with natural disasters, in-

cluding new drills for hurri-cances, tornados and earth-quakes, stated Mrs. Horwitz.

This year students are beingtrained to do a drop and tuck, abody position that will protectthem from flying glass and debrisin a weather disaster. This posi-tion is designed to protect all ofthe vital organs that could behurt in a severe storm.

Training is taking place in thegymnasium and is being lead byMrs. Horwitz.
