STUDENT BODY REPRESENTATIVE<br />

Sarah Muchowski, Student Body Representative, presented the following report:<br />

<strong>Florence</strong> High <strong>School</strong> students will have the opportunity to participate in several community service<br />

events throughout the month of April.<br />

Today, the National Honor Society sponsored a blood drive to benefit the American Red Cross.<br />

Several students had the opportunity to donate blood to help meet the needs of those in our area.<br />

The annual Prom Fashion Show will be held tomorrow evening, Tuesday, March 29. This event,<br />

which is sponsored by the High <strong>School</strong> Parent’s Organization will feature students from the class of 20<strong>11</strong><br />

modeling prom fashions and include door prizes and prom tickets for some lucky members of the audience.<br />

Throughout the month of April, members of the High <strong>School</strong> Student Council will be collecting items<br />

for the Burlington County Animal Shelter. The needed items include: dog and cat food, treats, collars, pet<br />

toys, towels and blankets.<br />

We will also be collecting Easter items to complete baskets for Providence House, a shelter for<br />

abused women and their families. Our goal is to assemble 50 baskets in order to provide each child at the<br />

shelter with a gift for the Easter holiday.<br />

The FHS Student Council will host “Hoops for Hope 20<strong>11</strong>" a student-faculty basketball game on April<br />

8. During this event Mr. Roberson, Mr. Yaris, and Mr. Reynolds will be having their hair dyed purple thanks<br />

to all of the students who signed up to participate in Relay for Life. Hoops for Hope will benefit the American<br />

Cancer Society’s Relay for Life which will be held on April 29 and 30.<br />

The Student Council is also sponsoring a Phillies fundraiser to benefit Relay for Life. Tickets are<br />

being sold for the April 6 game featuring the Phillies v. New York Mets. Tickets are $20, with $8 being<br />

returned to Student Council.<br />

The FHS Student Council will sponsor a dinner dance for the <strong>Township</strong> senior citizens. This event<br />

will take place on Saturday, April 9, 20<strong>11</strong>, and will feature a buffet dinner, door prizes, and dancing for the<br />

senior citizens. This year, in addition to the festivities presented by the high school, the senior citizens will<br />

also have the opportunity to be guests of honor at the Riverfront Musical which will be performed Saturday<br />

evening following the dance. This event is open to any senior-aged <strong>Township</strong> resident and will be sponsored<br />

in part by a PRIDE grant from the NJEA. Please feel free to tell your family, friends and neighbors about this<br />

special evening. Any individual interested in assisting with preparations for this event should contact our<br />

advisor Mrs. Rodan-Ryan via the high school.<br />

The Student Council will once again host the annual Easter Egg Hunt for preschool-aged children.<br />

This event will be held on April 14, and will include hunting for eggs, completing craft projects, face painting,<br />

and a visit from the Easter Bunny. Please feel free to spread the word about any of the events we have<br />

coming up. Thank you for your time this evening.<br />

PRESENTATION/APPROVAL SUPERINTENDENT’S MONTHLY REPORT<br />

The Superintendent of <strong>School</strong>s presented his monthly report for the review and approval of the Board<br />

of Education.<br />

A. High <strong>School</strong> Student of the Month - January & February<br />

The Principal of the <strong>Florence</strong> <strong>Township</strong> Memorial High <strong>School</strong> presented twelfth grader, Gina Laureti,<br />

with the Bordentown Elks Lodge January Student of the Month award. Gina is a wonderful member of the<br />

senior class. She challenges herself with Advanced Placement and Honors classes while maintaining her<br />

extensive extra-curricular activities. Polite, responsible and a friend to all, Gina serves as Captain of Varsity<br />

Cheerleading. She is a four-year member of Student Council and helps out during the National Honor Society<br />

annual blood drive.<br />

The Principal of the <strong>Florence</strong> <strong>Township</strong> Memorial High <strong>School</strong> presented twelfth grader, Russell<br />

MacArthur, with the Bordentown Elks Lodge February Student of the Month award. During the past four years,<br />

Russell has grown and matured from a shy and quiet ninth grade student into a focused and communicative<br />

young man ready for graduation. He is always prepared and to the point when we discuss future career plans<br />

and colleges that might offer him the best chance for success. He is an outstanding student achieving honor<br />

grades in very challenging courses while participating in soccer, track, spring musicals and scouting activities<br />

to name a few of his outside interests. Russell is definitely not shy any longer and as I get to know him better,<br />

I understand why he is so successful. He is organized, involved, dedicated and possesses a high set of<br />

standards by which he lives.<br />
