April is recognized as the Month of the Military Child, a time to honor the strength, resilience, and sacrifices of children in military families. These students often face unique challenges, including frequent moves and long separations from loved ones, all while continuing to thrive in their schools and communities.

To show our support, we will be “Purpling Up” on April 15th—wearing purple to represent all branches of the military and to stand in solidarity with our military-connected students. We also invite military children to stop by our table during Opportunity Period, the week of April 20th, to pick up a small treat and enter a raffle as a token of our appreciation.

We are proud to recognize and celebrate the important role military children play in our community!

Senior Trip will be here before we know it! This year’s trip to Disney World costs about $2000. In order to help lighten the load of the scheduled payments beginning next September, we are allowing you the opportunity to make pre-payments now through August 2026. Pre-payments in any amount can be made at any time via cash, check (payable to “NBC Class of 2027”), or now credit card and will go towards your trip balance. Any pre-payments will come off your final scheduled payments next year. Any student wishing to go on the trip will still be required to make the first payment in September, no matter how much they have prepaid. If you make pre-payments and your student decides not to go, we can give you a full refund in September. If your student

decides not to go on the trip after September, they may only receive a partial refund. Cash and check payments can be brought to Mrs. Duff in room 406. Credit card payments can be made online by clicking the button below.

SFAs may be experiencing increased calls from families concerned about the potential loss of SNAP benefits on November 1st. Please note the New Jersey Basic Needs Information Hub offers a comprehensive listing of websites that can assist households in locating a local food pantry or soup kitchen. Families may also choose to access the Community Food Bank of New Jersey, Food Bank of South Jersey, Fulfill, Norwescap, and Mercer Street Friends websites directly to search for local food resources.

Thank you for providing these important resources to families at this time, and for your unwavering work to ensure New Jersey students receive healthy, nutritious meals every day.

I am a little behind as February was Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, but I thought it would be important to write about it and time appropriate with spring in the air and new relationships about to bloom. Another reason is that 1 out of 10 teens experience an abusive relationship. Often they will keep silent about such a relationship because they are embarrassed, think it is their fault or may feel afraid they will have to break up with the person and they are not ready to do that. There are many other reasons as well, as mentioned in an ARTICLE from American Academy of Pediatrics.

The article also dispels common myths as well as listing red flags such changes in attitude and mood, physical appearance, and activities. It discusses in detail what abusive behavior often looks like, and gives helpful tips about how to talk to your child/students about healthy relationships and if they are in an unhealthy one, how to get out of it. Lastly, there are even scripts on what to say when having such a difficult discussion. And here are three resources that are available 24/7: NJ Domestic Violence Hotline-100-SAFE(7233), Crisis Text Line: Text NJ to 741741 and 2nd Floor Youth Helpline-1-888-222-2228.
