How was your week? I hope you had fun! I went to Rehoboth, Delaware for the Sea Witch Festival on the 30th and 31st. The town really gets behind the Halloween Spirit! Lots of fun! We went to visit my parents in Annapolis, Maryland afterwards and spent a day in the downtown area. I always enjoy walking around the historic town! For the rest of the week, I worked on my deck with our SRO (Tommy Herbst) and did things around the house. I am ready to get back into a routine again and looking forward to this incredibly fun month of the year!

We held a workshop for parents on October 26th in the Media Center to support how to navigate Parent Portal. Special Thanks to Mr. Mike Nichol and Mrs. Liz Rodriguez for their help that evening along with our wonderful Spanish Heritage Club members!

Student volunteers participated in our D.A.R.T Your Prevention Workshop this past week. Students learned the importance or connecting with others as a form of drug prevention. #dartyouthprevention...#rwjbanabas

Volleyball

Congratulations to our girls volleyball team for reaching the South Jersey Group IV State Sectional Final! The girls will compete against Toms River High School South at 4:30 pm in OUR gymnasium Tuesday (November 9) afternoon. I am encouraging all Raiders to come out to support the team as we compete for the title!

Gymnastics

Congratulations to our gymnastics team for their 4th place finish at the State Sectionals Tournament this past week. Christine Vincent scored a perfect 10.0 on her vault and subsequently is the SJ Group IV State Sectional Champion. Christine also won the Shore Conference vault competition this past week, scoring a 9.85! Good luck Christine as you pursue the overall Group IV title!

Congratulations to Ryan Seaman for being recognized as a Respectful Raider this week! Ryan demonstrated integrity while taking a test in his Spanish class. The answers to the test were highlighted in the electronic portion of the test and Ryan reported the issue to his teacher. Great job Ryan. I admire you!

Our Guidance Department is offering College Application support every Tuesday for interested seniors during Period 7 in the Guidance Office. No appointment is necessary.

Congratulations to Mrs. Sheryl Middleton for being selected as our Employee of the Week. Mrs. Middleton had been a Main Office Secretary since she began her employment at High School East. However, due to budget reductions, was asked to share responsibilities between the Main Office and Guidance until her transfer to the Guidance Office full time. Mrs. Middleton came to work every day with the same positive spirit and willingness to help others! I appreciated her kindness and professionalism to make the transition seamless! Thank you Mrs. Middleton for going above and beyond!

The following is from the President of All Shore,

I wanted to take a minute to thank you all for your participation in the All Shore Marching Band Festival last Wednesday. Your band's performance helped bring All Shore back to in-person events--and did so on a high note! All of your performances were filled with energy, and showcased the time and dedication your students and staff have poured into this year's field show. More importantly, your students were well behaved and respectful when they weren't performing and this helped to create the electric atmosphere for the other bands.

As the president of All Shore, I couldn't be prouder of your students for their dedication to music and their laudable character. We look forward to seeing you at next year's marching band festival, as well as at jazz and symphonic band auditions.

Great job Coach Miller and Strohmetz along with our incredibly talented musicians!
