WINTER CONCERT
IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM BCDOH
Dr. Herb Conaway, Director of the Burlington County Health Department with an important message for Burlington County residents.
COVID infections and related hospitalizations are rapidly rising. A new, more infectious version of COVID called Omicron is quickly spreading. If you are not vaccinated, now is the time to get protected. Your Burlington County Commissioners in partnership with Virtua and the State of NJ have re-opened the county vaccination mega-site.
If you received two doses of Pfizer or Moderna at least six months ago or received one dose of Johnson & Johnson at least two months ago then you are eligible for a booster.
Now 16 and 17-year olds are also eligible for booster doses on the same schedule.
Primary vaccination with Pfizer is available for children as young as five. J&J recipients can boost will either Pfizer or Moderna.
The mega-site is located at 1190 Nixon Drive in Mount Laurel, across the street from the Moorestown Mall in East Gate Square next to the Home Depot. Appointments are available Tuesdays through Saturdays. Schedule your appointment at //virtua.org/vaccine or call (856) 325-4222. Walk-ins are welcome. You can find more information on the county website or on the Burlington County Health App. It’s a free download to your cell phone or tablet.
Thank you. Stay Safe and let’s work together to keep Burlington County healthy.

HELP US PICK A NEW LOGO
During the 2021-22 school year the Board of Education set a goal of rebranding our district logos. A committee of students, teaching staff, community members and administrators has been working on this since the start of the year. We are please to be able to share the two finalists for the new mascot logo- they look great!
Each current or former student, staff member and parent or guardian may vote one time for their favorite. Voting will be open until 12:00 noon on December 22nd. The winner will be announced when we return from winter break.
