Students make the grade in testing By KATHLEEN DUFFY The Mt. Laurel Sun
KATHLEEN DUFFY/The Mt. Laurel Sun
The air was warm and the energy level high at Ramblewood Country Club’s pool on Tuesday, June 5. Members of Harrington School’s STEM class worked diligently to maneuver ROVs through obstacles at the bottom of the pool.
Class competes in Sea Perch challenge By KATHLEEN DUFFY The Mt. Laurel Sun All marking period long, students in Harrington Middle School’s STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Math – program built remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). On a warm and sunny early June day, they put their vehicles to the test in the pool at Ramblewood Country
Club in Mt. Laurel. The friendly, friendly, in-house competition is a primer to marine work, explained teacher Maureen Barrett. “Building the ROVs gives the students an introduction to some of the science, technology, technology, engineering, and math required for ocean exploration. Less than 10 percent of our oceans are explored,” said Barrett. “This proj-
ect may lead some of the students toward ocean-related careers.” The New Jersey Association for Educational Technology, which paid for cameras and kits, as well as the Mt. Laurel Public Education Fund, which gave money for cameras, funded the project. Thirty ROVs are produced each marking period for the Sea Perch competition.
Some of the students at the pool on June 5 had previously competed at the Greater Philadelphia Sea Perch Challenge at Drexel University in March, she said. The move to Ramblewood Country Club was a first for the class. Typically, the end of marking period competition has been held

With help from dedicated teachers, involved parents, an invested administration and a nurturing nurtur ing community communit y, the hardworking students of Mt. Laurel scored well on the annual report cards recently released by the Department of Education. The report cards, based upon the 2010-2011 school year, show proficiency in student testing, information concerning classroom environments, the finances of the district and details on the staff staff and students. The graduation rate was 95.88 percent at Lenape High School, just under the Lenape Regional High School District average av erage of 96.89 percent percent – the highest rate in Burlington County according to assistant superintendent Carol L. Birnbohm. Students who took the SAT performed better than the state average in all three categories. In math, the average score was 547 compared to the state score of 517. The verbal section had students scoring an average of 509, while the state averaged in at 493. The essay

John Goodwin, Ramblewood Country Club’s owner, lounged by the side of the pool all morning, observing the activities of the students. “I think it’s tremendous,” he said, pointing out how seriously the kids enter the competition. “It’s encouraging to see kids showing an interest in the sciences,” he added. There were various aspects to the competition. “One of the tasks is capping the well,” said Barrett. “There’s a piece of PVC piping in there and there’s a cap that fits loosely on top of that. It’s simulating an oil spill.” The ROV has to go down and fix the problem. “Another task is an obstacle course,” she said. “They have to drive through the hula hoops.” While at the pool floor, the ROV has to retrieve a dive ring, too. “ROVs “RO Vs are tethered machines,” Barrett explained. “Feeding the tether in is always something they have to be aware of. It’s not an autonomous vehicle.” The students were given 50 feet of tethering and cameras were also attached “so they can see what the ROV is seeing.” In the pool, swimmers helped to set up the scene and take some underwater footage with another camera. The four student members of Team Zebracorn, a name derived from two of the t he members liking zebras and unicorns, tediously worked at their end end of the pool. “Apparently I’m the expert driver,” said seventh-grader Lianna Graham from her perch, to which her team members agreed. Their ROV ROV consisted of materials such as PVC, pool noodles and a net. “It’s harder than we thought,” said eighth-grader Gabby DeFilippo. The ROV was hard to move and the wires kept tangling, Gabby explained. The wires have to be held, said seventh-grader Katelyn Johnson, to avoid the annoying tangling issue. “It’s kinda like a puzzle,” added fellow eighth-grader Ally Wesoly, but once that puzzle was together,
it was great for the team to see their hard work in action. The ROVs are safe, said Barrett, and materials such as electrical tape, wax and monkey dung (butyl rubber tape) are used to waterproof waterpr oof them them.. The competition lasted about an hour and 15 minutes. “I teach six classes,” said Bar-
fun project. This is engineering at its best.” The SeaPerch challenge turned out to be more challenging than Barrett originally imagined. “When I created these challenges, I thought they’d be done in 30 minutes, no problem,” she said. “But, no.” It took until the third marking
rett. “Two classes come the first shift, then I drop them off and a nd pick up the next.” The STEM program is fairly new to the school. “The district decided they wanted to add a STEM class at Harrington and Hartford and then asked for people to apply,” she said. “We had to pitch ideas if we wanted to apply.” “I had seen this done at a conference,” she said of the project. “I thought that would be a really
period for a team to cap the well. “They have to work together as a team, they have to communicate,” she said. “It can’t just be one person running off with the ROV.”

The average Lenape District total score was 1566. Birnbohm emphasized the importance of completing the PSAT assessment assessment prior to taking the SAT. There is a huge correlation between student scores and the completion of the PSAT, she said. The HSPA scores also show improvement at the district level. “Students did very well on the HSPA,” said Birnbohm. “We’ve improved in both the math and the language arts literacy assessment.” Some 96.9 percent of the total district population was either proficient or ad-
However, there were 11.4 students per faculty member, a number similar to the state average average of 11.2. Lenape administrative personnel had a median salary of $125,274, down from the 2009-2010 school year’s $129,812, but higher than the state median of $121,597. Teachers’ salaries median rate was $64,295 while the state median was $68,435. It cost $19,265 to educate each student in the district. “We have very involved parents. We have great sending districts that feed to us,” Birnbohm said. “We have students and teachers that come prepared and willing to work.” That sentiment begins at the secondary level in Mt. Laurel where there are eight schools in the K-8 district. “Mt.

Students excelled in science at T.E. Harrington Middle School. On the NJASK8 test, 91.9 percent of students tested favorably. Language arts testing was similar, with only 8.2 percent showing a need for improvement. So how do students prepare for these tests? “When curriculum is properly aligned, there is little a district can do to prepare for the annual state tests,” said Rath. “Our curriculum is aligned with state standards, and our teachers perform benchmark assessments to assure that students understand the content.” In addition, the district performs an inhouse assessment known as Measures of Academic Performance (MAP) test three

Follow these tips for safe swimming Swimming is among the most enjoyable and beneficial physical activities in a child’s life, but can also be a very dangerous one. As the start of the summer is around the corner, it is important to know and follow rules to ensure water safety safety.. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, about 10 people die from unintentional drowning each day d ay. Of these, two will be children aged 14 or younger. Additionally, drowning is the sixth leading cause of unintentional injury death for people of all ages, and is the secsecond leading cause of death for children under under the age of 14. For every child who dies from drowning, another four received emergency department care for nonfatal submission injuries. Nonfatal drowning can cause brain damage that may result in long-term disabilities including memory problems, learning disabilities, and permanent loss of basic functions. “Eighty percent of the drowning deaths occur between May and Sept. As the start of the summer is here and families are preparing for trips to the pool and beach vacations, the Y urges swim safety for children and encourages families to be vigilant as they head toward the water,” said Linda Davis, aquatics director for the YMCA of Burlington and Camden Counties. In recognition of the summer season and June being National Safety Month, the Y offers important safety tips for all ages: Designate a “water-watcher” during swim time. Never leave a child alone near a pool, spa, bathtub, toilet, bucket or any standing water in which a child’s nose or mouth may be submerged, even if a lifeguard is on duty. It only takes one inch of water to cover a child’s mouth and nose to potentially cause drowning. In the time it takes to cross a room or pool deck for a towel, a child can slip silently under the surface of the water, even while wearing a floating device. Be prepared in case of emergency. It’s important to take the time to learn life-savi life-saving ng skills like CPR, and to have a phone handy in the pool area. The Y offers First Aid, CPR and AED training, as well as Lifeguard certification

“Cake Boss” and “Fabulous Cakes” has revolutionized desserts. Words like fondant and pulled sugar have become a part of one’s everyday everyday vocabulary and cakes have have become works of art especially when it comes to special occasions. According to Classic Cake executive ecutiv e pastry chef Robert Bennett, “This is a really exciting time for pastries and desserts. Clients are looking to experiment with new flavors, compositions and accents. They are ready to let their imagination and taste buds stretch beyond the traditional.”
Chef Bennett’s Top Five
151 Kings Highway East • Haddonfield, NJ 08033 856.795.0424 www.JayWestBridal.com
When asked the top five ingredients for the ideal wedding cake, Bennett is quick to reply. After 30 years of creating extraordinary extraordinary desserts for special occasions, he is well prepared to answer. Start planning early – To provide time for the creative process and avoid any conflicts, couples
should begin as soon as the wedding date is set. Request a tasting – Pastry chefs are proud of their creations and will prepare tempting tastings, which can include gluten, dairy and sugar free options upon request. Consider the time of year – Wedding cake consultants will help select flavors for any season like peaches in the summer or a pumpkin sponge with chestnut cream for fall. Discuss the cake size – It is important to consider if the cake will be served as the actual dessert or is a symbolic supplement that guests may taste or take home. Have a budget in mind – When choosing your cake design, a bakery should be able to provide a minimum cost. Often edible pieces of art, intricacies and details impact time and expense. Yet, it comes down to being true to one’s self. Says Bennett, “The most important point I tell any couple is this is their day and the cake should please them – not the guests nor the in-laws.”
