Cape May City Elementary
Recently the fourth, fifth and sixth grade students in the Program for Academic and Creative Enrichment (PACE) at Cape May City Elementary School, set up a physics “Exploritorium” to encourage other students to explore and learn about motion, forces, and energy. The PACE students gave talks and demonstrations, and provided hands-on activities in four main areas: magnets, electricity, sound, and simple machines.

Lower Township
Author Traci Dunham recently visited Carl T. Mitnick School. The Kiwanis Club of Cape May generously funded the author’s visit. Dunham discussed her book, The Oyster’s Secret, as well as the process she undergoes to publish her books. Several first and second grade classes of The Carl T. Mitnick School are piloting the new writing curriculum, Writer’s Workshop, and their accumulation of weeks of hard work resulted in an Author’s Celebration with this local writer.
Middle Township
Zack Thomas, a 10th grader at Middle Township High School has been nominated to attend the Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Washington, DC.
The Congress is an honors-only program for high school students who want to become physicians or go into medical research fields. The purpose of this event is to honor, inspire, motivate and direct the top students in the country who aspire to be physicians or medical scientists, to stay true to their dream and, after the event, to provide a path, plan and resources to help them reach their goal.
Zack was nominated by Dr. Connie Mariano, the Medical Director of the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists to represent Middle Township High School based on his academic achievement, leadership potential and determination to serve humanity in the field of medicine.
During the three-day Congress, Zack will join students from across the country and hear Nobel Laureates and National Medal of Science Winners talk about leading medical research;be given advice from Ivy League and top medical school deans on what is to expect in medical school;witness stories told by patients who are living medical miracles; be inspired by fellow teen medical science prodigies; and learn about cutting-edge advances and the future in medicine and medical technology.
“This is a crucial time in America when we need more doctors and medical scientists who are even better prepared for a future that is changing exponentially,” said Richard Rossi, Executive Director, National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists. “Focused, bright and determined students like Zack Thomas are our future and he deserves all the mentoring and guidance we can give him.”
The Academy offers free services and programs to students who want to be physicians or go into medical science. Some of the services and programs the Academy plans to launch in 2014 and 2015 are online social networks through which future doctors and medical scientists can communicate; opportunities for students to be guided and mentored by physicians and medical students; and communications for parents and students on college acceptance and finances, skills acquisition, internships, career guidance and much more.
The National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists was founded on the belief that we must identify prospective medical talent at the earliest possible age and help these students acquire the necessary experience and skills to take them to the doorstep of this vital career. Based in Washington, D.C., the Academy was chartered as a nonpartisan, taxpaying institution to help address this crisis by working to identify, encourage and mentor students who wish to devote their lives to the service of humanity as physicians, medical scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians.
