World Village – Each year upperclassmen studying World Languages at Kittatinny Regional High School in Newton create a World Languages Village. The village has a bank, ethnic restaurants, gift shops and tourist attractions so the underclassmen can practice their French, Spanish and German in a fun yet challenging atmosphere. Students are awarded Euros and grades based on how well they interact using their target language.

Falcon’s Lounge – While focusing on the educational needs of students, Manchester Regional High School in Passaic County also addresses their social, emotional, physical and mental needs. A lounge located inside the school offers access to primary health care, employment services, learning support services, and counseling services ranging from substance abuse to violence prevention. The school also conducts a yearly health fair which includes a blood drive and a variety of health-related educational exhibits.

Oh the Places – Teachers at Oxford Central School in Warren County enrich their writing programs by implementing web logging, or blogging, as a writing tool. The students and their families not only benefit from greater access to technology, they also learn about the Six Traits writing method, which is a way for kids to organize and improve their writing. This program is funded through the NJEA Frederick L. Hipp Foundation for Excellence in Education.

Building Bridges – Benjamin Franklin School in Teaneck is building bridges with a fourth annual Unity Day.
