The Weekly Update

Come out and support our middle school thespians as they present Camp Twilight. This comedy is set at a summer camp with resident werewolves and vampires, plus persons of interest placed in the witness protection program…. Come see how all these elements come together as our students bring this show to life.

Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for senior citizens and students (with school ID).

Show time is 7:00 PM on December 5 and 6 in the middle school cafetorium.

Northern Burlington has begun gathering information that will help us develop a new Strategic Plan. If you have not already, please consider providing feedback at this ThoughtExchange link. If you have already completed the survey, you can go back and rate responses that others have submitted. This online platform allows you to contribute by answering questions, sharing your thoughts, and rating the ideas of others. This feedback will be the foundation that will shape our new plan. We will host forums later this winter to discuss the results and next steps.

The Northern Burlington Middle School recognized our Governor’s Educators of the Year today. These selections were made on the basis of nominations we received from the community, and thank you to all who contributed.

Mr. Robert Goldstein was selected as our Teacher of the Year. Mr. Goldstein is a business teacher who teaches both seventh and eighth graders at the middle school. He is also the advisor for the school store.

Ms. Meghan Brennan was chosen as our Educational Services Provider. Ms. Brennan began her career at Northern Burlington as a special education teacher and has long since become a member of the middle school’s Child Study Team.

STAT Club is hosting its annual Holiday HomeFront collection. As a school, we work to collect holiday stockings and stocking stuffers to help those in need. All items are donated to HomeFront, which is an organization that provides support to the less fortunate. Please bring all donations to your homeroom. This collection will be going on until December 19th. Let's continue to spread some holiday cheer to the families of HomeFront!

We are beginning the winter sports season. While we appreciate our students wanting to come out and support their classmates, we are not equipped to provide supervision to student spectators. As a result, students who wish to watch a basketball game or wrestling match must first go home and then return with a responsible adult who will stay with them for the duration of the contest. There will be a sign in process for students and their adult chaperones when they arrive at the contest.

On Wednesday, December 10th the delicious and generous Honeygrow (205 Marketplace Boulevard Hamilton NJ 08691) is donating back 20% of Dine-In, Takeout, Delivery & Pick up orders to support a great cause -- Team On Fire for Brian-Relay for Life!

On behalf of Team On Fire for Brian-Relay for Life you’re invited to join us and eat out, not only in support of the organization, but to show one of your Hamilton restaurants some love too!

We ask that you RSVP here: https://grouprai.se/e317046 (even if you’re not completely sure) so Honeygrow knows roughly how many orders to expect & so you have access to all the event details.

We hope you can make it, and please feel free to forward this invitation to your friends and family. Thanks in advance for your support!

We have gathered a large collection of water bottles. If your son or daughter is missing a water bottle, please have them check the display case in the main hallway. If their water bottle is in the case, they should just let the main office know and we will happily return it to them.

Is your child in need of academic support? Members of the High School National Honors Society provide tutoring to all Northern Burlington students. Middle School students can attend tutoring after school on Mondays and Wednesdays beginning on September 24 in the Greyhound Learning Center. Interested students simply need to sign up during their lunch period.

PHOTO DONATIONS:

In the past few years, we have had so many people generously donate photos from their lives at home. We would love to have you share photos with us from life outside of the school building (July 2025-January 2026). We typically use photos of summer vacations, celebrations (birthdays, holidays), and free-time activities (hobbies, sports, relaxing, etc), but we would appreciate all photos. When uploading, please take the time to tag the students in the photo. Photo Share Link: https://photos.jostens.com/MQ8TN9
