Good evening I A lot has happened since our last board meeting and I can honestly say that it's great to see everyone. For my report this evening I would just like to highlight a few items:

• The first is that I would like to recognize all of the incredible work and collaboration that took place in the Township during and after Hurricane Sandy. Since my arrival, it was my first opportunity to see how the school district and Township worked together under such adverse conditions. I am pleased to report that what I experienced was nothing short of amazing and I would like to publically thank our Mayor and Council , Office of Emergency Management, Police, Fire Department, and Ambulance Corps, Health Department, Wayne VOAD, Parks and Recreation, and Township Clerk for all their support and cooperation as we weathered the storm together. I witnessed the true sense of community that ensued the moment crisis hit and ALL hands worked together. Throughout the entire event, we were in regular communication with one another to identify needs and offer resources. I also want to recognize and thank all of our district personnel who were involved in the decision-making and contingency planning that took place to return us back to school. I understand that the decisions to close and open school that were made in response to the ever changing conditions were difficult for some; however, I am confident that our schools were and remain ready to bring our students back to 'normal' - whatever that means these days.

• Next I would like to share that a number of our schools put together very moving Veteran's Day tributes this week and some are scheduled for next week. They often included invitations to family and community members who are currently serving or have served in the military to honor their service and pay respects to those who are no longer with us through luncheons, presentations, and ceremonies. I would like to take a moment to also thank all of our Veterans who have fought and continue to fight for our freedom to live, love, and learn in our democracy. Thank you.

• Last, but not least, I would like to announce that around 5 PM this evening, an email broadcast was sent to all families for whom we have an email address, containing a link to a Parent survey. In our ongoing efforts to better meet the needs of our district, we would like to gather feedback on our parents/guardians perceptions of how we're doing. Please take a moment to take the survey and let us know your thoughts.

Originally scheduled for this week, the Wayne Hills Student Council Executive Board and its advisors have created a more efficient and effective way of holding Spirit Week this year. Instead of everything including the food drive, money collection for a local family or charity in need, and dressing up on a specific themed day followed by a rally at the end of the week, it will be broken up this year. As a school community, led by the Student Council, we felt it was imperative that we just have the food drive this week in order to better serve the local families who are in desperate need of food especially after Hurricane Sandy. The fundraising for a charity or family in need will take place December 1 ih_20th and the dressing up followed by a spirit rally will most likely take place in January, however the date has yet TBD. This new and efficient way will help to keep all faculty members committed and focused to getting our students back on track after missing a significant amount of school.

The Wayne Hills Quiz Bowl team traveled to Metropolis Studios in NYC on October 23rd to compete on MSG Varsity's Challenge. Our Quiz Bowl Team battled and defeated Elmwood Park in the studio for a televised episode of the Challenge. The jeopardy-style competition was aired November 8, on Channel 14 at 6:30 PM. The Wayne Hills Quiz Bowl team will return to NYC for round two of this fast-paced show, complete with a 40-member studio audience.

Students from "Operation Green" participated in a garden clean-up on Saturday, October 27, in the breezeway courtyard near Guidance. Their objective was to get the space ready for the teaching gardens, a series of raised bed flower and vegetable gardens, nourished and maintained through sustainable gardening techniques. Students will begin composting coffee grounds, sawdust, and food scraps from the cafeterias, Greenberries, and the foods and woods labs, to produce the mulch needed to feed and weed the gardens and beds in the courtyard. They are anticipating a winter crop of vegetables followed by a spring and summer crop started from seeds in the hydroponic lab in room 253.

CUMAC (Center of the United Methodist Aid to the Community) reached out to the Wayne Hills National Honor Society to help with the annual food drive to help the food pantries in need. The NHS members collected $940.00 and a great amount of food.

The boys and girls soccer teams captured the Big North Independence Division title and the girls are currently in the state semi-finals. The Wayne Hills football team is in the state playoffs this Friday at home against Hackensack. Girls' tennis captured their 10th straight Passaic County Crown. Field Hockey has advanced to the state finals this week where they will try and win their third title in the last four years. Girls Cross Country set a Passaic County scoring record en route to the County Championship while Junior Brendan Ungemach won the Group 3 State Championship on the boys' side.

The Wayne Hills Marching Band scored a 90.15 at the US Bands New Jersey State Championships this past weekend at Piscataway High School.

The WHHS Chamber Choir will be sharing their music and spreading some holiday cheer by performing in the community on the following dates at the following place:

WAYNE VALLEY H.S. - THERESA PASCRELL

Wayne Valley students resumed school last week in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and came together as a community in a time of need.

The National Honor Society is collecting food for local food banks that have been supporting the Hurricane Sandy relief effort.

This week the school is engaged in School Spirit week. The theme this year is Greek Mythology. Spirit week will wrap up tomorrow with a Spirit Week rally, in which the grades will compete against each other in order to determine which class has done the best job and has the most school spirit.

Our annual blood drive is soon to take place. In conjunction with the blood center, students and faculty alike will be rolling up their sleeves. We are hoping to break our previous record for most pints in a day.

The Drama Cub will be presenting the stage version of Agatha Christie's great mystery "And Then There Were None" this weekend. We invite all here to take time out of your schedule to see this wonderful drama.

The AP Government and Politics class recently conducted a school-wide presidential election. Student decorated the halls, developed commercials, created campaign slogans and mottos for the candidates of both major parties. The goal of the election was to reinforce the civic duty that students will take on as adults in society as well as helping them gain an understanding of the issues facing our country and the various proposed solutions to those problems
