5th Grade Mentoring Program

If you are a parent/guardian of a fifth grade student, you have probably heard about the 5th grade morning meetings every Thursday. Yesterday, the fifth grade morning meeting was a mentoring workshop assembly.

Coach Charlie Inverso, head coach of Rider Men’s Soccer team, worked with 6th grade House Leader PJ Barrett, 5th grade House Leader Dave Boggs, Ms. Westhead and me to develop a mentoring program for young students.

Two Rider soccer players will work with each of the 12 fifth grade classes over the next few months.  The topics include leadership, working hard, teamwork, academics and being part of something larger than themselves. Everyone is excited about this new program, and our students are really looking forward to working with college athletes.

Welcome Back!

Our first week of school this year is off to a great start, and it has been very nice to see all the smiling faces ready to teach and learn.

Just before school started, we were notified that

Lawrence Intermediate School is the #1 Dual Event School in New Jersey
for Jump Rope For Heart and Hoops For Heart!!!!!!

In an email, Jodie D'Emilio, Regional Director of the American Heart Association, offered her congratulations:

 "What an incredible accomplishment by a fantastic team and amazing school!  I am so proud of all of you!  What you do to affect childhood obesity and further scientific research to fight heart disease and stroke is nothing short of extraordinary. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!"

Thanks to everyone who participated and fundraised, and a big thank you to our Physical Education staff members who coordinate these events every year.

We are looking forward to a terrific school year. Please remember to check our school website for important information and upcoming events, such as back to school nights.
