To be a student today, with the
plethora of demands placed
on you, with exceedingly high
expectations set for you, in an
environment that sometimes
seems to make little sense
to you, school is simply hard.
The requirement to balance
academics with extra-curricular
activities, athletics, and other
responsibilities can sometimes
make the school experience
particularly difficult. But, there
is a purpose behind your
hardship. There is an end to

CURRICULUM
KINGSWAY TEACHERS MAKE LEARNING UNIVERSAL
Fostered by our commitment to excellence for all students,
KRSD has embarked on an amazing opportunity to explore and
implement a framework for instructional design that provides rich
supports for learning and reduces barriers to the curriculum while
promoting high achievement standards.
This framework, called Universal Design for Learning (UDL), was
established as a result of research conducted by Anne Meyer and
David Rose, which explored three brain networks that impact
the ability to gain knowledge. As a result, three corresponding
UDL principles were developed to assist educators in identifying
effective strategies for each. Understanding the connection
between these areas can assist educators in creating successful
learning experiences that will meet the needs of all students.
Last year and this year, cohorts of middle school and high school
teachers at Kingsway began their UDL journey with support from
Melissa Jackson, an intervention specialist for the New Jersey
Department of Education. As part of the learning process, teachers
are provided several professional trainings on the UDL framework.
These trainings are then paired with job-embedded learning
opportunities through classroom visitation, follow-up conferences,
and roundtable discussions.
The UDL framework provides a
research-based blueprint for creating
instructional goals, methods,
materials, and assessments that
can be customized and adjusted to
address the variability of all learners
while adhering to the rigor of the
Common Core State Standards
(CCSS). In creating tailored classroom
learning opportunities, students
are provided the support and
opportunities they need to become
empowered and take ownership of
their learning!

KRMS SPORTS AND HEALTH SCIENCE 1 & 2
T
he students in the KRMS Sports and Health Science Program
recently completed their nutrition unit, where they studied,
researched and are now applying knowledge-based activities on
various types of diets. Students explored the benefits of different
diet methodologies such as the Paleo Diet, Zone Diet, and the
USDA diet.
Discussions, activities, and
projects were designed
to teach the kids to
become responsible for
their diet choices and
to compare how their
eating habits affect their
physical performance in
the fitness room setting.
For the next 16 weeks,
students will measure and
track their food intake on
a daily basis using the Sports and Health Science Food Journal
Scale to analyze their protein, carbohydrates, and fat intake and
draw conclusions about their physical performance based on
their food intake data. They will assess their nutritional intake,
set goals for the week, evaluate a teammate’s nutritional log
and coach them using the information and concepts they have
learned throughout the unit.
In the fitness center, 7th and 8th graders recently completed
their Fitness Benchmark Week , where they were evaluated
on their muscular strength, endurance, workload output, and
metabolic conditioning. Students showed significant growth
from their last benchmark evaluation.
On average, 7th and 8th graders increased their workload output
on the Burpee Bash Benchmark
test by 26%. This test involves a
three-minute timed period where
students perform burpees, rest for
three minutes, then complete the
test with three more minutes of
burpees. The other test designed
to measure their metabolic
conditioning was the 500 meter
row timed test. For this benchmark,
students row 500 meters on the
ergometer as fast as they can. On
average, students in both 7th and
8th grades decreased their row
times by 15 seconds.
Throughout the course of the
third marking period, students
will be learning more advanced
functional movements building upon what they learned the first
two marking periods and will continue to track their growth and
success using the fitness tracking software Wodify. As students
enter the cognitive testing season, our goal is to apply all the
hard work, adversity, and success in the physical areas and
apply that success to the cognitive setting by being more aware,
healthy, alert, nutritionally fueled, and cognitively sound.

CURRICULUM
SPOTLIGHT TEACHER: MR. BRENT DODULIK
ODU
ULI
C
ongratulations to Mr. Brent Dodulik from the KRHS Health and
Physical Education Department, who was selected as April’s
Spotlight Teacher of the Month!
Mr. Dodulik is described as passionate, enthusiastic, and innovative,
and is willing to try new ideas with his students. He also takes the
lead in many District and Department initiatives.
Mr. Dodulik has been a member of the School Improvement Panel
(ScIP) team for the past two years, has mentored two new teachers,
piloted the FitnessGram program, voluntarily coaches our boys
soccer and wrestling programs, and is currently our head boys
volleyball coach. Mr. Dodulik develops a strong rapport with his
students and those relationships help keep his students engaged
during class. He maintains a high energy level throughout the day
and knows how to have fun with his students.
When asked why he decided to become a Health and Physical
Education teacher, Mr. Dodulik responded, “I always knew that I
wanted to pursue a career that would keep me active and around
others who enjoy living a healthy and active lifestyle. I started at
Ursinus College in the Athletic Training program, but after only a
semester decided I wanted to pursue teaching. I made the switch
and never looked back. Both of my parents were teachers so I grew
up in a home where education was valued despite the many trials
and tribulations.”
When asked his opinion on the S.M.A.R.T. schedule, Mr. Dodulik
replied, “Our department has embraced the new S.M.A.R.T.
schedule and enjoys many of the ways it has improved our
opportunities to teach. Having more instructional time has enabled
the Health and Physical Education Department to provide more
quality and meaningful instruction to our classes as well as include
personal student improvement activities on a daily basis in our
lessons. The enrichment
schedule that we offer
during S.M.A.R.T. allows
students to participate
in a variety of athletic
activities, including use
of the Wellness Center, to
maximize their physical
activity during the school
day. These improvements,
combined with the many
organized opportunities
to collaborate as Health
and Physical Education teachers, have yielded growth within our
department and have directly impacted our students in a very
positive way. In many ways our department and students are
making strides in the right direction.”
The most rewarding part of Mr. Dodulik’s job is not only coming to
work everyday to help the students become productive citizens,
but also helping his peers and the school community become
stronger as well. He knows that many of the new initiatives
teachers face may seem overwhelming, but as a parent who lives in
the District and whose children are already “little dragons,” he truly
values the positive effect they will have in the longrun. Mr. Dodulik
enjoys helping the entire Dragon family to understand and to
embrace the changes so that we can all grow as a school
and community.

S.T.E.M. ACADEMY STUDENTS
PARTICIPATE IN LIVE SURGERY
WOMEN IN S.T.E.M. FAIR
O
n Tuesday, February 24th, freshman S.T.E.M. Academy students
participated in an experience they will never forget! For the first
time in the history of Kingsway, students participated in an interactive
living donor kidney transplant surgery via a Virtual Live Surgery.
With the financial
support of the
Kingsway Education
Foundation, Mrs.
Yourison, the S.T.E.M.
guidance counselor,
brought this unique
videoconferencing
experience to KRHS.
The Virtual Live
Surgery program

allowed students
to remotely enter the operating room at Saint Barnabas Medical
Center in Livingston, New Jersey through interactive high definition
videoconferencing technology. Students were able to hear the surgical
teams in real time and were permitted to ask questions at appropriate
points during surgical procedures.
During the two and a half hour procedure, the S.T.E.M. Academy
students observed the three stages of kidney transplant surgery, which
included the actual laparoscopic removal of the donor kidney, the back
table preparation of the kidney, and the implantation of the kidney into
the recipient. The surgical staff in the operating room answered student
questions about the actual procedures, kidney disease, organ and tissue
donation, and transplant and medical careers.
On March 11th, KRHS was represented by eight 9th and
10th grade girls at the 14th Annual Women in S.T.E.M.
Fair. This event was held at Rowan College at Gloucester
County and is aimed to “further introduce and encourage
young high school female students into S.T.E.M. careers.”
The program culminated with a school team challenge
in which the Kingsway Team participated in the
Marshmallow Mania challenge. This activity required
the team to design a launcher that would deliver a
marshmallow to a target area. The team with the highest
overall score at the end of three launches would be
declared the winner.
Kingsway took first place in Outstanding Design and
Construction!
Continued from page1
throughout the Congress.
Seniors Sophia Nitsolas and Zach Hemple earned recognition
as Committee Chairs. Senior Alexa Fagan excelled as Speaker
of the House. Committee Chairs and Speakers are responsible
for maintaining Parliamentary Procedure during debates
and supervise roll call votes on each bill; not an easy task as
delegates fiercely debate to get legislation passed.
Kingsway Delegates Osimhe Enike-Ekhelar, Abigail Gill, Noah
Culbreath, Eric Elliott, Gabe Lombardi, Mark Mihlebach, Brandon
Quinn, Marut Raval and Jimmy Sarchese were voted Outstanding
Delegates in Committee for their contributions in debate.
In total, 17 of 29 Kingsway Delegates had bills pass in Committee
and of those 17 bills, two passed in Overall Sessions of the
House and Senate. To pass in full session, a bill’s author must
debate it a second time to persuade a chamber of 150 not-sofriendly colleagues to vote for the bill. Delegates Enike-Ekhelar,
Culbreath and Mihlebach were up to that challenge in their
Overall Sessions.
The KRHS delegation also included Emily Bruce, Sammi Capalbo,
Victoria Checca, Ashleigh Donato, Destiny Stanford, Kyra Traino,
Joe Delmar, Tommy Doyle, Matt Garozzo, Patrick O’Mahoney, Ben
Manning, Jacob Manning, Jacob Nocentino, Danny Snyder and
Nick Zahniser.
But the bill of Shakeim Golden caused fierce debate. Mr. Golden
presented a Resolution to urge Washington Redskins owner
Daniel Snyder to change the name of his NFL team. Though Mr.
Golden’s bill lost by one vote in a split chamber, it caused an
uproar when Kingsway Delegates lobbied to get the bill debated
in the Senate’s Overall session. Due to procedural technicalities
in Committee, the effort failed but Kingsway Delegates on both
sides of this issue banded together to get the bill heard, which
exemplified the true spirit of debate in the democratic process.
Advisor Andrew Young commends each delegate for their hard
work and the professional manner with which they represented
Kingsway and thanks chaperones Marilyn O’Rourke-Young and
Ed Moody for their contributions to Kingsway’s success.

TENTH ANNUAL
JAZZ FESTIVAL A SUCCESS
On Saturday, March 21st, KRHS hosted our 10th Annual Jazz Band
Festival in the Eitel Theater. The festival featured two middle schools
as well as seven high school jazz ensembles in addition to all three
jazz ensembles from KRHS.
Kingsway’s students had the unique opportunity to perform with a
guest soloist, Mr. Bill Perbetsky, who is a longtime music educator and
professional jazz musician.
At the conclusion of the evening, all visiting schools were given a
performance rating, and awards for best sections and best soloists
were also presented. This year’s festival was well attended and we
appreciate the community’s support of our jazz festival over the past
10 years.
Please be sure to attend the final instrumental music concert of the
school year on Thursday, June 4th at 7pm in the Eitel Theater.
CHEMISTRY CLUB
KRHS’s new Chemistry Club creates an environment to explore
chemistry-related topics outside of the
normal class periods. This is meant to
inspire those interested in the subject
to develop a stronger understanding of
chemistry throughout the school year.
The club meets every other D-day during
S.M.A.R.T. in room 131.
So far this year they have made nonNewtonian fluid (oobleck), investigated
superhydrophobic nanomaterial
(NeverWet), explored polymerization by
making Borax & Elmer’s glue bouncy balls,
and turned copper pennies into “golden”
pennies by alloying zinc with the copper.
The club is led by seniors Luke Passarella and Trevor Stebbins, and is
advised by teacher Lauren Smith.

KINGSWAY’S MATH CLUB
RECOGNIZED FOR SUCCESS
On Saturday, February 28th, the Math
Club’s senior team participated in Moody’s
Mega Math Challenge. This year’s challenge
required the students to create a working
equation, which would decide whether
college is in a student’s best financial and
life-quality interest. To make the challenge
even more difficult, the students had a time
window of 14 hours to complete the task.
Kyle Evernham, Jacob Manning, Mike
Kleynman, Billy Gray, and Andrew Beamer did a magnificent job working
together to complete this task. They did advance to the second round of
the competition, which placed them in the top 20% in the nation. This
is the furthest any Kingsway team has ever advanced. The winning team
will ultimately win $20,000.
Continued from page1
nothing to report, the biologist became immediately
attentive at the first sign of the moth’s effort to
break free of its cocoon. While the hours wore on the
biologist grew impatient. So, in an effort to expedite
the process he decided to help the little fella by
making a small incision in the concrete-like cocoon.
The extra help proved to be all the moth needed since
it instantly emerged after the biologist’s intervention.
The biologist continued to observe the moth,
waiting for it to spread its butterfly-like wings and
show off its fascinating colors. As the hours wore on,
nothing happened and the moth eventually died.
With an oversized body and undersized wings,
the biologist initially thought the moth was
deformed at birth, causing its demise. But as the
biologist continued his research, he learned that his
intervention killed the moth.
The moth’s struggle to emerge from the cocoon is
purposeful. As it squeezes through the top of the
concrete-like cocoon, the tiny opening forces fluids
from its body into its wings. This process transforms
the shape of the moth’s body from large to small,
and its wings from small to large. Once the process is
complete, the moth emerges from the cocoon with
beauty unlike any other creature.
The biologist had learned that he provided the moth
a disservice by denying it an opportunity to struggle.
As a result, the moth could never grow into the moth
nature had intended, and met a premature demise.
Never having the chance to swim gracefully through a
sea of open air.
The struggle of the emperor moth is much like the
struggle you all must endure. Denying yourself an
opportunity to fail proves that you are shortcutting a
process designed for you to struggle. In the end, the
individual denied this opportunity is provided a great
disservice.
The lesson here is for you to embrace your struggles
and work through them. Once you break through, and
you will, you too will gracefully move along the path
nature had intended for you.
The April edition of Inside Kingsway celebrates many
of our student and staff accomplishments in recent
weeks. We showcase our NJ Model Congress Delegates,
spotlight high school teacher Brent Dodulik, and share
with you a number of student accomplishments and
experiences. There is plenty more included throughout
these pages and I’m certain you will find this edition a
pleasant read.
Dr. James J. Lavender
Congratulations to this year’s Kingsway’s team for earning its place
among the top teams in the country.

HIGH SCHOOL
KINGSWAY ARTISTS
SHOWCASE THEIR WORK
T
he annual spring art show took place the week of March
23rd to coincide with the 11th Annual National Art Honor
Society (NAHS) induction, which was held the evening of
March 25th. The art showcase was evidence that Kingsway
has some very talented artists.
Voting for the best works in the show was quite a challenge
since our students have such incredible and diverse artistic
talents. On exhibit were examples of watercolor and
acrylic paintings, drawings from cartoon sketches, and
elaborate charcoal sketches. Amazing computer artwork and
photography was on display as well.
Eye-catching displays of pop art projects drew lots of
attention, as did the incredible craftsmanship illustrated
in the ceramic pieces. Ten ceramic tile exemplars that were
on display will be used to create a permanent ceramic tile
display in a hallway outside the West Cafeteria.
Congratulations to all of the talented artists whose works
were on display, including the newest members of NAHS:
Lisa Courtney, Kristi Ficara, Gabrielle Giletto, Gabrielle
Griffis, Ashlee McCullough, Melissa McSparran, Kristina
Quinones, Sabrina Quinones, Arianna Iannacone,
Rebecca Kier, and Tyler Monaco.

The Outreach Program for Sports, better known as TOPSports, is
an inclusive sports program open to children ages 4 to 18 with
special needs. The program has four seasons: soccer, basketball,
baseball, and bowling. The goal of TOPSports is to enable young athletes with
developmental disabilities to develop
their physical fitness, technical skills,
courage, and self-esteem through the
joy and excitement of playing sports.
The best part about this program is that
it provides an opportunity for non-disabled students and siblings to get
involved as assistants called “buddies.”

MIDDLE SCHOOL
KRMS TALENT SHOW
DAZZLING ON THE RUNWAY
On Friday, March 13th, in front of a packed house, Kingsway’s most
talented students took the stage for the annual KRMS Talent Show
(performers shown above). The show included 26 acts featuring
singers, tap dancers and musicians.
Surrounded by a cheering audience and upbeat music, the
A-Team students took to the runway to show off their hard
work in the Periodic Table Fashion Show on Monday, March
23rd. The fashion show culminated a research project that
incorporated each of the five core classes, zoning in on the
periodic table of elements.
GET GOOD GRADES!
T
he Triple G program teaches students how to establish and
reach their academic goals. Students are empowered to
participate in their own
academic success, which
builds self-confidence,
perseverance, and
character.
Qualification for Triple G’s
rewards and incentives
requires students to set and
meet an academic goal.
KRMS had 12 students meet
their goal for the second
marking period: Caitlyn
Costello, Montana Davis,
Alex Odom, Garrett Patella, Angelina Brown, Car Lia Corbin,
Justin Martinez, Celina Neris, Briana Olsen, Lydia Riddell, Blake
Tambone, and Tori Tecco.
The students wrote explanatory pieces that focused on the
etymology, historical background, and scientific notation of
their selected element. After conducting and manipulating
research on
their selected
element, students
chose to display
their content
knowledge
through the
creation of
“atomic attire,”
an authentically
designed T-shirt,
or an “atomic advertisement,” a poster promoting the
element’s many uses.
A good time was had by all as A-Team students presented
their creations and short speeches to their enthusiastic
peers and teachers, strutting proudly down the runway to
share their knowledge and creativity.
