CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES AND VISITORSOn October 21st, Mr. Nickles and Mr. Castellini’s woodshop classes had a guest speaker. Mr. Rick Hendon from Universal Technical Institute spoke on the varied careers UTI college offers. All Social Studies classes took part in a national mock election program organized by the Youth Citizen-Journalist Network. At OCHS we voted for NJ governor/lieutenant governor and on the public question. The results will be posted on their national website or at www.njmockelection.org OCHS World Cultures and World History classes have been twinned with schools in Russia, Taiwan, Canada, Kenya, Belarus and Bulgaria. Mrs. Daniel joined this group through iEARN. We will be exchanging holiday information initially and then hopefully the contact will continue. “iEARN (International Education and Resource Network) is a non-profit organization made up of over 20,000 schools and youth organizations in more than 120 countries. iEARN empowers teachers and young people to work together online using the Internet and other new communications technologies. Over 1,000,000 students each day are engaged in collaborative project work worldwide. CLUB ACTIVITIESThe Student Coalition Against Tobacco/NJ REBEL observed REBEL Revolution with announcements and signage promoting the value of a tobacco free life. SCAT/REBEL enjoyed a Haunted Hayride at Birch Grove Park in Northfield. SCAT/REBEL Advisor , Thomas Gahr, and Mrs. Merle Canderan served as chaperones. The following day they held a successful carwash to raise money for scholarships for members in the Senior Class. They raised $527 thanks to the generosity of community and faculty members. On October 29th, the Psychology Club, co-advised by Mrs. Mimi Fleming and Mrs. Linda L. Spengler, planned and held a Welcome Party/Scavenger Hunt for all of the new transfer students to Ocean City High School. Students were given a half-hour to locate 20 pieces of information throughout the high school. Upon their return from the scavenger hunt, students were amazed at how many things they had never observed in the building! Gilda’s Club – On November 11th, Nicole Milan-Tyner and Connie Pinkston (representatives from Gilda’s Club South Jersey) spoke to our OCHS Gilda’s Club members regarding Cancer Information: Myth or Fact. We tossed around a ball that had a variety of statements about Cancer….and when a student caught the ball they had to read the statement and tell us if they thought that statement was true or a myth. Students had the opportunity to ask questions, discuss concern and to learn about early detection, screening, and the importance of knowing their family’s medical history. We also discussed fundraising activities. Throughout the year, our club raises money for Gilda’s Club South Jersey. If anyone would like to make a contribution, feel free to contact our Gilda’s Club Advisors: Tobi Oves (399-1290 Ext. 8716) or Sharon Norton (399-1290 Ext. 1399).
