Instrumental Music & The Theory of Multiple Intelligences featuring the Carusi Symphonic Band

Carusi Band Director, Mr. Barclay, and his talented symphonic band students showcased the profound impact of music on multiple intelligences and academic growth during a special presentation for parents. The event offered a unique glimpse into the students’ rehearsal process, highlighting how they explore sound, refine their techniques, and prepare for performances. Parents left inspired, gaining a deeper appreciation for the transformative power of music education.

LEAD Ceremony LEAD Ceremony

After 10 weeks of active participation in the Cherry Hill Police Department's LEAD (Law Enforcement Against Drugs) program, our students have successfully graduated with flying colors. Throughout the program, students worked diligently to set healthy goals, make informed decisions, and commit to avoiding drugs, violence, and other risky behaviors. Their hard work and dedication were celebrated on Friday, November 22, during a special graduation ceremony. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all of the students for their achievements and express our deepest gratitude to the LEAD officers for delivering such a valuable program. Additionally, a special thank you goes to Mrs. Spencer, whose coordination of the LEAD schedules and tireless dedication are instrumental in making this initiative a resounding success.
