eSports Rocket League Team
This week Fernwood's eSports Rocket League team advanced to the state quarterfinals with a nail-biting 3 matches to 2 victory. Great performances by Rafael Nunez Priego, Gavin Pack, Joey Simpson, Evan Benoit all led to victories. In perhaps the most crucial moment, with the match on the line, Lizzie Ozoria scored an overtime winner, helping teammates John Liberi and Tyler Dang to keep Fernwood's hopes alive and send the contest to a decisive 5th match. Fernwood, the state tournament's 7th seed will move on to the quarterfinal match with TMS Lions, the 2nd seed and one of the tournament favorites.
In their regular season match, TMS beat Fernwood 3 matches to 2 including a heartbreaking overtime loss that ultimately decided the contest.
"The Soup Man" of Atlantic City
Ms. McLaughlin’s 8th grade English classes had a guest speaker on Friday, February 5th. Mr. Chris Ponteri a.k.a “The Soup Man” of Atlantic City, visited her classes virtually to explain his role in his mission to help the homeless population of Atlantic City during the pandemic crisis. Her students had previously read two selections that centered or focused on homelessness in our country. Each year her students contribute to some sort of charitable foundation such as pajamas for foster children or canned goods for the Community Food Bank of South Jersey. This year, she and her students will be contributing soup, peanut butter, and other canned goods to help Chris fulfill his goal of serving more people who are less fortunate than others.
