Classes and curriculum areever-evolving at Eastern RegionalHigh School, and to highlightthese changes, SuperintendentHarold Melleby Jr. said this yearhe hopes to have department su-

pervisors regularly address thedistrict’s board of education.

At the board’s most recentmeeting, 10th-grade vice princi-pal Steve Young led that charge ashe outlined some of the recentchanges to the social studies, gift-ed and talented, and music andart departments he oversees.

Young said there were threemain areas he wanted to high-light, the first being how the dis-

trict’s GT program was helpingwith its overall goal of gettingmore students enrolled in Ad-vanced Placement courses.Through the GT program, Youngsaid an initiative now existswhere gifted and talented stu-dents will go to classrooms tospeak with other students and

communicate the realities APclasses, such as the level of home-work and workload students canexpect if they were to enroll.

Young said he believes the ini-tiative has already had a signifi-cant effect just in the areas he su-pervises, as in the past severalyears, AP classes for U.S. historyII have grown from one section to

6 THE VOORHEES SUN — FEB. 10–17, 2016

The Voorhees Township Police Depart-ment continues its efforts to keep our com-munity safe and has implemented two newprograms.

The police website www.vtpd.com willnow allow visitors to electronically submitvacation property check requests, policereports and vehicle accident reports. In ad-dition, residents can sign up for and viewlive streams of our social media platforms,find crime prevention tips and much more.The site is mobile and tablet friendly aswell.

The police department, in partnershipwith the Community Affairs Bureau, hasinitiated the Voorhees police “SAFECAM”camera registration program. It is a volun-tary program that allows residents, busi-

nesses and organizations to notify the po-lice if they have a security camera system.

This notificationdoes not give policeaccess to the cam-era system, but al-

lows the police tomaintain the cam-era in their data-base for potentialpermitted reviewshould a crimeoccur in the area.Participating prop-erties will receive adecal with the offi-cial Voorhees po-lice “SAFECAM”logo that can bedisplayed as an ad-

ditionaldeterrent to

crime.• Uber vehicles will provide free rides

home to Voorhees residents patronizingparticipating restaurants/bars in

Voorhees and Evesham through theVoorhees Saves Lives Program. AnyVoorhees resident who opens the Uber appat one of the participatingrestaurants/bars will see a “safe ride” op-tion at the bottom of the screen.

Rides will be provided from 9 p.m.through 2 a.m. through June 1. The freeservice will not be provided from one es-tablishment to another.

• In an ongoing effort to continue to in-crease communication with our residents,Voorhees Township is now on Twitter andour Twitter name is @VoorheesTwp. There

Months of campaigning, of 

muck slinging, of pointing

fingers, and of, sometimes,

yelling are finally producing some re-

sults. Last week, the Iowa caucuses – 

the first stop in the race for each major

political party’s nomination for presi-

dent – produced some interesting re-sults.

Republican candidate Ted Cruz took

home the primary’s first victory for his

party, besting the outspoken Donald

Trump by a margin of 28 percent to 24

percent. It was a successful night for

Cruz, and not a very good one for

Trump.

But it was also a good night for

Marco Rubio, who surged to third

place with 23 percent. It puts him in a

great position to make a move in the

coming weeks.

The battle in the Democratic party

was a little muddier. Even though

Hillary Clinton claimed victory the

night of the caucuses, before all the

polling districts were in, she was neck

and neck with Bernie Sanders, each

within decimal points of each other.

Rounded up, each candidate received

50 percent of the vote.

Our homegrown talent, Gov.

Christie, while not completely done,

looks dead in the water. He ranked 10th

among Republicans last week, with

only 2 percent of the Iowa vote.

The fight moved on to New Hamp-

shire this week, and it will continue

down to South Carolina on Feb. 20,then over to Nevada on Feb. 23. Eight

more states’ primaries will occur in

March.

By this time next month, we could

have clear-cut winners, or we could

have a very unclear situation on our

hands. Either way, with the Iowa cau-

cuses in the books, and with the results

being so close for both parties, we’re

likely to see quite a bit of campaigning

ahead.

in our opinion

Iowa brings some surprisesTrump has challengers; Democrats are in for a fight; Christie is done

three, AP psychology has in-creased to five sections on aver-age each year, and AP oral historyhas become a class offered everyyear rather than every other year.

“Again, I would highlight therole that the GT program hasplayed in that because this was allabout students talking to stu-dents, and who else to betterspeak with each other than stu-dents?” Young said.

The second area Young high-

lighted was the several-year-longprocess of updating and modern-izing the music and art depart-ment’s general music offering for-mally known as Bach to Rock. Ac-cording to Young, students nowhave the option of a generalmusic class known as music pro-duction and technology, throughwhich students can use iPads andthe audio program GarageBandto create and produce music.

Young said the class was alsoable to bring in what are effective-ly desktop computers to serve asmini sound studios for studentsto use along with the iPads to cre-

ate a lab-like effort.“Students are going to have the

opportunity to write, play, record,mix and produce music of theirown, and they’re going to be ableto collaborate with each other,”Young said. “We’re excited thatit’s going to give them hands-onexperience.”

Finally, Young said he simplywanted to highlight the influx of several new teachers to the areashe supervises. Although the

board had already conducted ameet and greet with new teachersat the beginning of the schoolyear, Young said the early returnsof what the teachers have addedto the classroom were alreadypositive.

“They’re connecting with stu-dents in ways that we really couldhave only hoped they would have,and they’re doing those things al-ready,” Young said.

We’re counting on you!

tiana Ter-Saakov, the Lego Mas-ters team started about threeyears ago as there was no otherteam in the area.

“It is really a home-grown en-deavor,” Erlich said. “You do notneed to have any special engi-neering skills to run a team. Youlearn along with the kids. Theirenergy and enthusiasm motivatesall of our efforts.”

Teams can have two to 10 mem-bers ages 9 to 14, and compete atFLL events while judged in cate-gories such as core values, projectresearch and robot design.

During the core values sectionof competition, judges gradedstudents this year by having themwork on the short activity of ar-ranging cards in alphabeticalorder and then answer questionsabout respect, communication

and professionalism.For the research section, stu-

dents had to explain the researchthey did on trash by acting out ashort skit. During the robot de-sign section, students had to use arobot designed for the specificpurpose of solving pre-assignedFLL missions on a tabletop play-ing field. Students were thenquestioned on the design and pro-gramming of their creation.

“The team and events reallyprepare them for the real world,and being in front of judges pre-pares them for interviews as anadult,” Erlich said.

This year’s FLL challenge was“Trash Trek” in which the FLLasked students to “explore theworld of trash, from collection, tosorting, to smart production andreuse.”

For their project, the Lego Mas-ters chose to research compostingand ultimately developed a plandetailing how schools can com-

post leftover scraps of food.On Dec. 12, the Lego Masters

competed at a qualifier event inWilmington, Del., won the “First

Place Mechanical Design Award,”and were one of nine out of 26

teams judges chose to compete atthe upcoming championshiptournament.

To advance to the champi-onship, the Lego Masters had tohave their robot score in the top40 percent of the robot game andthe team had to score well in allthree judging categories.

However, regardless of scores,Erlich said the ultimate goal of FLL is to have kids become gra-cious professionals by learningtogether and then helping spreadtheir knowledge to others.

“I think it’s great because ittouches on so many aspects of learning and personality develop-ment,” Erlich said. “They gain alot of confidence since they do allthis work themselves.”

Members of the Lego Mastersare Ashot Ter-Saakov, EstherAdebi, Juliet Heller, Richa Prab-hu, Daniel Biryukov, Diana Sura-lik, Mahek Jhaveri and RachelBoroda.

The team also has four men-tors from Eastern High School – Natasha and Dimitri Ter-Saakov,Zach Boroda and Brian Gillespe.
