During the last school year, the Manville Police Department began enforcing a borough ordinance that has been in effect for some time. The ordinance prohibits “stopping and standing” along the curb line of N. 13th Avenue from the start of the staff parking lot by Manville High School to the entrance of the staff lot by the athletic fields.

Students may be dropped off along the curb line next to the athletic fields past the ABIS Main entrance. They may also be dropped off across the street, on the Christ the King curb line, but please, under no circumstance, dismiss children from your car while in the middle of the road.

We are currently working with the Borough of Manville and the Manville Police Department to investigate a more efficient traffic pattern for drop-off, as well as analyzing the ordinance to determine changes moving forward. With that said, please adhere to the current ordinance for the remainder of the school year.

Every year the Somerset County Library System hosts a Summer Reading Challenge, which encourages literacy with incentives like reading recognition rewards and chances at larger grand prizes for children who participate by logging the days they read.

At Manville Library, they included an additional wrinkle -- they have a friendly competition between the four public schools in town to see which school's students collectively log the most days over the whole summer. Summer 2021 was their inaugural year, with Roosevelt Elementary School placing first, but for summer 2022, the PreK-grade 2 students at Weston Elementary School logged the most days with more than 2,500 days of reading.

Throughout the summer, the library kept track of the schools' progress with a visual display of the race; had a different colored seahorse representing each school to align with our summer reading theme of "Oceans of Possibilities." Children and families loved stopping in the Library each week to check on the race's progress.

The winning school receives a certificate of achievement that they can keep forever. They also get a trophy to keep on display for that upcoming school year; the trophy goes back to the Library for the summer, and the schools face off again.
