Congratulations go out to Rob Erskine, Jose Santos and Dan Howarth! These three students of Mrs. Daley's competed at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark, New Jersey March 19th for a Web Design contest. The three students competed in two categories: one was troubleshooting an existing website and the other category was designing your own educational site for students. Erskine, Santos and Howarth competed against 291 other students from 35 schools through out the state. The students met everyday during Mod 6 and worked on their masterpiece on world War Two. After all was said and done, this amazing trio took home first place in the category of designing their own site! These talented guys brought home $250 for themselves and $250 for Mainland! Way to go Rob, Jose and Dan! Too see their winning site click here: http://www.oasisdesigngroup.net/njitww2/index.html |

Reading Rally raised $435 for the Literacy Volunteers of America, which will be matched by Tom Ritter - a total of $850 to a great cause! The students' enthusiasm was matched only by the quality of their readings. Kudos to the chaperones from the English Department, most of whom read their favorites as well (and one of whom was featured in an original short story). Dorsey Finn read from his soon-to-be-published new book of poetry. Our emcees, Jean Simeon and RJ Kern were delightful and added to the evening's enjoyment. Thanks to all who made the Rally fun and worthwhile. |
