Taylor Mills School May Highlights

Check out the school's highlights from May 2013.

The following highlights are submitted by Irene Policastro, the Secretary to Superintendent John J. Marciante of the Manalapan-Englishtown Regional School District.


While much of the month was spent on the NJASK testing our 3-5th graders, the highlight of this month was definitely our Student Council driven events. 

During the week of May 28 - 31, students participated in “Power of the PAW.” Our Student Council elected to support our four-legged friends impacted by Hurricane Sandy. Students donated all kinds of pet supplies. On May 28, students kicked off the week with their School Spirit gear. Our Student Council President and Vice-President began each day by announcing a variety of ways that kids can change their world. On Tuesday, May 28, our students participated in a “Spirit of Giving Day” designed to encourage students to donate supplies to local animal shelters. On Thursday, May 30, our students designed CRAZY SOCKS pledging one simple thing they could do to make a difference in our world. The socks are proudly displayed all around the building. On Thursday, students also participated in our annual Fun & Field Day sponsored by the PTA. On Friday, we all wore red, white, and blue to honor our fallen soldiers and those who are still defending our country. 

In addition, throughout the week, students donated their spare change in support of the charity of their choice so they could really make a “change.” 

Overall, we hope that weeks such as this inspire students to participate in their communities for a good cause, learn to appreciate all of the good things they have, and help those who are less fortunate. 

Mahatma Ghandi once told us to “Be the change we want to see in the world.” If we could all think about the many ways that even our children can change the world, we could truly make this world a better place. 

The generosity and concern for others that our students displayed this week were praiseworthy. It was a fantastic way to end the month and close out a great year for our Student Council.
