NJ SPECIAL OLYMPICS

So a group of NJ educators (myself included) are taking part in the 2012 New York Football Giants Snow Bowl at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ on March 2, 3, & 4, 2012. Funds raised through the Snow Bowl help to advance the goal of Special Olympics New Jersey, to provide free year-round training and competition in 24 Olympic-type sports to more than 22,000 children and adults with intellectual disabilities. 

You can make an online donation of at least $5 or more by visiting my personal donation page and helping me reach our team's fundraising goal. The link is at the bottom of this blog.

2012 Teacher of the Year!

Van Derveer School is proud to announce our 2012 Teacher of the Year, Ms. Nancy Kisbaugh!  Ms. Kishbaugh is an effective, enthusiastic, and selfless educator who is always willing to lend a hand.  Ms. Kishbaugh was the first teacher I met at VDV School.  It was a hot day in August, and here was a teacher who could have easily been enjoying the shore, but instead gave up her own free time to assess our incoming Kindergarten class. I knew right away that this was a special teacher. This honor is well deserved!  Congratulations to Ms. Nancy Kishbaugh, our 2012 Teacher of the Year!
