PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
This week all throughout this country we celebrated the life and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King strived to pave the way for a world where people would be treated equally, regardless of their race. Lessons this week at Fernwood included the work of Dr. King and the lasting legacy he has left on our country.
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Making a Difference at the Community Food Bank
Egg Harbor Township's Deaf Ed program took a field trip to the Community Food Bank of NJ today. Students were given a tour of the food bank, learned how the food is sorted and distributed to their local community. They also learned to read drink labels and find how much sugar is in drinks they consume. Students then counted out the number of sugar cubes that equaled the amount of sugar in each drink. Not only was it an educational experience, our group also brought food donations. The EHT Deaf Ed Program held a food drive at Slaybaugh Elementary, Miller and the High School. All together, we were able to donate 98 pounds of food to our local community today.
