Wemrock Brook School February Highlights

Students worked on a Valentine's Day craft, enjoyed Family Bingo, watched some movies and danced the night away in the cafetorium!

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

Valentine’s Craft for First and Second Graders
First and second grade students were treated to a special afternoon of fun. Members of the Student Council assisted teachers in creating a special Valentine’s event for students. Everyone had the opportunity to create their own Valentine’s Day craft, listen to stories and share in treats and fun with classmates. A great time was had by all.

Foley Family Bingo Night and Gift Auction
B-7, N-34, 0-72, I-26, G-56! That was the sound of Ms. Martin, Principal of , as she and Mrs. Hanson, a fifth grade teacher, called out bingo numbers to the hundreds of families in the cafetorium. Fun prizes awaited all the happy children as they covered their boards with Cheerios or candy hearts to win BINGO. This year’s Valentine Bingo Event was held in honor of the Foley Family, as the WB PTA donated all proceeds to them to help with the costs they have incurred due to a devastating home fire that occurred before Christmas. Local businesses and members of the community all rallied together to created exquisite baskets that were raffled off that night. The event raised over $4,000!

Relay for Life Valentine’s Day Dance
Fourth and fifth graders were treated to a special afternoon of dance and fun with their friends. DJ Noble Productions lit up the cafetorium and danced the afternoon away. Students and teachers listened to the latest music and learned all the new dance crazes. It was fun for all ages!

Movie Matinee
Students at Wemrock Brook were treated to some special movies, Mr. Popper’s Penguins and ZooKeeper. The PTA after-school sponsored event provided our students with some fun and treats.

Teacher of the Year and Support Staff Person of the Year
Ms. Sharon Hanson, WB 5th grade teacher, was honored by Dr. Marciante and Dr.
Monroe as Teacher of the Year. She was actively engaged with her students when the visitors walked into her room and surprised her with lovely flowers. Ms. Rose Cruz, WB Technology Assistant, was honored by Dr. Marciante and Dr. Monroe as Support Staff Person of the Year. Ms. Cruz works hard every day making sure our technology is state of the art and in working order to serve the needs of our students and staff. Both women are well deserving of these awards, and we are honored at WB to share in this celebration.
