Woodbury Junior-Senior High School - Weekly Newsletter

Message from the Principal
Hello parents,
Spring has finally arrived! I was beginning to wonder if we were just going to skip over this season and go right to summer!
This week, five seniors were notified that they are now officially ranked in the top five of the graduating class of 2018. The hard work, consistent effort, and prolonged scholastic achievement they exhibited was impressive. They distinguished themselves from an uber competitive class and deserve recognition and congratulations. The students are listed here along with their choice of college and major:
- Alysa Echevarria: Valedictorian/Rutgers University/Biology
- Peter Evangelisti: Salutatorian/Temple University/Sport & Recreation Management
- Teresa Biernacki: Stevens Institute of Technology/Computer Engineering
- Samuel Oni: Georgetown University/Sociology
- Catherine Navas-Folgar: Rutgers University/Undecided
Our administration, faculty, staff, students and the extended Woodbury school family wish to congratulate on these scholars on this prestigious accomplishment!
Along those same lines, I'd like to extend congratulations to the newest members of the National Honor Society! The induction ceremony on Tuesday night was poignant and moving.
I'd also like to celebrate Woodbury High School chemistry teacher - Jessica Thomulka - on winning a coveted Teaching Fellowship from the Knowles Teacher Initiative. One of only 35 awardees from around the country, Ms. Thomulka was selected after a rigorous and extensive vetting process. The 5-year fellowship comes with a grant of up to $40,000! She simply rocks!
Be sure to check out the latest Have You Herd? video below for look at some events that have been happening over the past few months. I've also included a video that Mr. Doud produced that was in response to a student challenge; needless to say, but that man has some talent!
Enjoy the nice weather over the weekend.
Keep Love Present,
Dr. Vivadelli

Knowles Teaching Fellow
Jessica Thomulka is 1 of 35 teachers chosen nationally for the 2018 cohort of teaching fellows. As part of the fellowship she receives financial support to cover expenses associated with purchasing classroom materials and engaging in professional development. Additionally, Fellows may receive grants to develop and execute leadership activities that have an impact beyond their own classrooms and into the community. She will also receive mentoring & coaching from experienced chemistry teachers from across the nation.
She is very excited to bring such great resources and opportunities to Woodbury!
