February 2014 - Cherry Hill High School West
the West Word February 2014 Cherry Hill HS West PTA, 2101 Chapel Ave., Cherry Hill, NJ 08002 http://west.cherryhill.k12.nj.us/ PTA Message Dear West families and friends, I want to start off by thanking you for being involved and for participating in school events as well as PTA events that have been occurring regularly since September. We have had two PTA meetings so far this year, which were fairly well attended. It has been great to see freshman parents as well as our seasoned PTA folks participating. In addition, we have had two Project Graduation (PG) Meetings. From this point on throughout the end of the academic year, there will be a PG meeting held each month in anticipation of and preparation for this big event. It is not too late to become involved, and we always welcome new people with willing hearts and hands. The next several PG meetings are as follows: February 12 directly following the Senior Trip Parent Meeting, March 17, April 21, and June 9. All meetings start at at 7pm in the Library. The remaining PTA General Membership Meetings for the year are: February 12, April 23 and June 9. We always have a special guest speaker or two for these meetings, and Dr. Morton is available, not only to give a principal’s report, but also to address concerns and questions. It is a great time to speak with him. Believe it or not, it is time to begin the process of selecting PTA officers for the 2014-2015 school year. The slate needs to be completed by the April meeting, and will be voted on at the June meeting. Some officers will be staying on, if elected. Others are moving on as their child is graduating from West, and they must also graduate. If you are interested in helping out in any capacity next year, please contact me or one of the other officers. Our information is on the West Website. Lastly, this is where I sound like a broken record. We accept membership into the PTA throughout the entire school year. Forms can be downloaded and printed, and can be sent in with your child. Membership is $10 per person. Again, thank you for your involvement. Many hands make light work (as my grandmother used to say). Stay warm, and think summer! Warmly, Kris Walters, CHHS West PTA President [email protected] Dear Parents & Guardians: It is my hope that this New Year has been a happy and joyous one for you thus far! We are excited about the many wonderful things that are happening here at High School West. We are intently focused on our goal of raising academic achievement levels for all students while also helping our students to develop the character that they will need to succeed in postsecondary school life. Our students are hard at work both in and out of the classroom. The second marking period has closed and report cards will be distributed on February 11th. I am encouraged by the high number of honor roll students for the second marking period. College acceptances and scholarships have been rolling in for our 12th grade students including those to prestigious Universities. The students involved in our theater program will be putting on a prodection of the musical In The Heights. The show opens on March 21st, and it promises to be highly entertaining affair. Students involved in our music programs continue to flourish having already given us multiple memorable moments this year. We are also in the midst of the Winter sports season. I am proud to report that our sports teams are representing HS West with pride and integrity. It is truly an exciting time to be a part of the HS West family! In the coming weeks guidance counselors will be meeting with all students to begin the process of course selection for the 2014-2015 school year. It is essential that parents are involved in this process with their children. I encourage you to engage your child in a conversation about their future interests to ensure that they select courses that are aligned with those future interests. Finally, you can stay up to date with important daily announcements and other pertinent information by following us on Twitter @CherryHillWest. Please know that I consider it a privilege and an honor to have the opportunity to interact with the students of HS West on a daily basis. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. I am always available for you! Yours truly, Dr. Kwame R. Morton, Sr. Principal WE NEED YOU!! Join West PTA TODAY!!

Guidance Center Student Assistance Program Cherry Hill Schools has provided a Student Assistance Counseling Program for many years. In addition to the traditional guidance services offered in the school the Student Assistance Program is intended to address personal issues early as a means of prevention. The Student Assistant Counselors, Mrs. Barbara Rakoczy at West, (663-8006, ext. 1216), Mrs. Jennifer Distefano, at East (424-2222, ext. 2548), and Mrs. Molly Crincoli (429-5600, ext. 455) at Malberg each have a Master’s Degree in Counseling in addition to a certification as Substance Awareness Coordinators or Student Assistance Counselors (SAC). Student Assistance is a confidential counseling program designed to help students and families with a broad spectrum of issues. The counseling program provides a safe haven for students to explore difficult and sometimes sensitive issues so they can develop a positive plan for coping or change. In the past, students have received help managing stress, parental separation/ divorce, peer conflicts, grief, eating disorders, depression, anxiety and substance abuse. Student Assistance is often viewed as family assistance, since many times the entire family is offered assistance in managing a difficult situation. Peer support groups are also offered on a voluntary basis. Though the groups are not therapy they provide a safe environment where students may receive peer support, gain education around a specific issue or concern, and develop listening and coping skills that will assist them in both school and at home. In addition to self-referrals, many students make contact with the Student Assistance Counselor as a result of a caring teacher, administrator, nurse, guidance counselor, friend or parent who requests an appointment for a student. If you would like to make a referral or discuss a concern, please contact the SAC in your student’s school at the telephone numbers indicated above. Scholarship Update ABOUT LOCAL SCHOLARSHIPS by Michelle Pryor, School Counselor/Scholarship Coordinator Each year, West seniors are able to apply for over $50,000 total worth of scholarships awarded to only West seniors. For these awards, our students compete only with each other. The criteria for each award varies. However, many require an essay, an official transcript, test scores, a resume, and in some instances an interview. The effort spent applying for these scholarships is worthwhile as the odds of receiving the award increase with this smaller pool of applicants. These scholarships are called "local scholarships." The local scholarships will now contain in the heading the words For West Seniors Only. Some, but not all, of the local scholarships are: The Cherry Hill Rotary Scholarship, The Jon W. Dinsmore Memorial Scholarship, The Nan Lightstone Memorial Scholarship, The Lions Pride Alumni Association, The Mark Homan Foundation Scholarship, The Madeline Hyman Memorial Scholarship, and The Cherry Hill African American Civic Association Scholarship. On a yearly basis, I contact the Cherry Hill organizations and the private donors who are often the families of the person for whom the scholarship is named, to confirm the existence of the scholarship and the current amount to be awarded. At times, the donors have wanted to discontinue the scholarship, however, I was able to convince them not to do so. Herein lies the frustration: It is so difficult to get our seniors to apply for these scholarships even though I am sure they could use the money. Despite repeated efforts to get students to apply, some of these awards have no more than one or two applicants. Seniors, do not let the word "essay" cause you to miss an opportunity. With well-placed effort in life, you can reap rewards. Apply for as many scholarships as possible, but especially for the local scholarships. Michelle Pryor School Counselor/Scholarship Coordinator (856) 663-8006 Extension 1212 [email protected] Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them become what they are capable of becoming. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Ways & Means Update Winter greetings all! Just a quick update on our fundraising efforts to date. We are continuing with our Shop Rite card sales but it has been a slow year. Remember....5% of the value we sell goes back to West PTA, which in turn goes back to the school/kids. Please consider supporting this program. Just contact me (info below) and I will get the cards to you. Next up is an anniversary fundraiser with Jersey Mike's Cherry Hill. It is tentatively set for 2/20/14 but final details are still being worked out. Jersey Mike's was so wonderful to work with last year and the amount of money raised was incredible. The additional funds were put to such good use for the school and the students. Let's do our part to make this another great fundraiser! Thank you for your support of West PTA. Gina Onorato, V/P Ways & Means CHHSW PTA 856-482-6055 [email protected] King Day of Service Mural Arts Project By Alexis Mayfield On January 8, 2014 8 West students participated in a press conference to unveil the annual King Day of Service student mural project at Gerard City College in Philadelphia. The 8 West students created a 5’ x 6’ panel commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education. Working in conjunction with the Philadelphia Mural Arts project, and resident artist Cesar, the students were able to create a panel entitled “for all” representing not just liberty and justice, but also respect, peace, compassion, courage, love and hope for all. These were all hard fought for and won in the Brown v. Board decision. With Oliver Brown as a central figure, he is surrounded by lady justice whose eyes were blind to race, but open to the fact that separate can never truly be equal; children who although outwardly different are undoubtedly united; Ruby Bridges who dared to fight for her own future and those who came after her; and doves as a symbolic reminder of how far we have come and the hope of what the future holds. The full banner will be displayed at the armory in Philadelphia on January 20, 2014 during the day of services activities in Philadelphia. High School West will have the opportunity to display the banner at West sometime in the spring, look for those dates and please come in to celebrate our students and their work.

West PTA sponsors it with the help of the entire community. We’re planning our 2014 celebration and need your financial support. Since 1991, we’ve partnered together and have been so proud of the community response that has allowed us to provide PROJECT GRADUATION. We look forward to continuing this important tradition for all of our future West Graduates. Graduation is a high-risk time for high school students, with injuries and fatalities often due to the celebrations that include alcohol and drugs. This post graduation party, to be held the night of graduation from 10pm to 5am, will provide a safe place for our graduates to gather together and celebrate their “first reunion”. We need your help to provide this memorable night for our graduates. MAY WE COUNT ON YOU? Benefactors ($1,000) or more Sponsors ($500-999) Patrons ($100-499) Friends ($1-99) For more information, contact Project Graduation Chairs: Christie Robertson, [email protected]; Mindy Kegel, [email protected] or Jack Gallagher, [email protected]; Thank you for your support so characteristic of the West community! Please complete the following form and return to CHHSW PTA, Attn: Project Graduation, 2101 Chapel Avenue, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002. Make checks payable to Cherry Hill West PTA. I am pleased to support Cherry Hill West Project Graduation 2014! Name__________________________________________________________ Address________________________________________________________________ Phone________________________ Donation ________________ SHOP RITE GIFT CERTIFICATES Interested in helping the PTA but you just don’t have the time? Then purchase Shop Rite gift cards through us. Shop Rite has a program where our PTA purchases gift cards at a reduced face value of 95%. The PTA sells them to you for full face value. That means if you use our gift cards for a month at an average of $1,000 per month, our PTA earns $50. That’s a pretty good deal. There are no restrictions and the cards do not expire. All you have to do is contact me. I will drop the cards off to you or you can pick up at my house or at the next PTA meeting. So instead of writing a check to Shop Rite (or using a bank card), please think about taking this extra step, contact us, and use our cards. It is a great way to support the PTA which in turn provides support and programs for all students. Thank you!!
