Stone Harbor
Mr. Rick Charette performed for the students of Stone Harbor Elementary School recently, capturing their hearts and spirits with his delightful and inspiring children’s songs, which blend original contemporary pop music and lyrics with imaginative activities that generate all kinds of audience participation.
Wildwood
The Wildwood High School “All-Star Trading Cards” Program will be presenting plaques and resolutions to the five sponsors of its program at the Wildwood Board of Education meeting on February 15 at 6:00 p.m. in the WHS cafeteria.
The “All-Star Trading Cards Program” is a character education and role model program that features Wildwood High School juniors and seniors on trading cards. The program received a “Best Practices” recognition from the New Jersey Department of Education in 2003 and has been featured in the “Study Hall” segment of “The Early Show” and several national publications.
Students with grade point averages above a 2.5 are invited to apply for the program in the beginning of the school year. A 20-member selection committee rates applications, and those students selected sign a pledge and are photographed. The trading cards are distributed to elementary and middle school students at Glenwood Avenue Elementary, Wildwood Middle, Crest Memorial and Margaret Mace Schools during the schools’ Honor Roll and Perfect Attendance assemblies. After the elementary/middle students earn five trading cards, they are accompanied to Pizza Hut by a local police officer and high school All-Star.
The Greater Wildwood Municipal Alliance provides the grant funding from G.C.A.D.A. (Governor’s Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse). The Wildwood, North Wildwood, and Wildwood Crest Police Departments provide the transportation and “chaperoning” of the students at the lunches. Pizza Hut donates a personal pan pizza and soda to each individual participating in a lunch.
“Without the support and sponsorship of these organizations, the Trading Cards program would not continue to be a success since it began in the 2000-2001 school year,” said Betty Harshaw, Director of the program. “The elementary/middle schools have enthusiastically received the program, and their continual support, along with that of the high school All-Stars and their parents, and the faculties and staffs at all of the schools, have just made the program a successful one. With all of this networking, the program accomplishes its goal – to showcase positive role models and encouraging intergenerational communication.”
Wildwood Crest
Crest Memorial School¹s annual spelling bee was held January
31, and sixth-grade student Bob Belansen will represent the school at the regional bee on March 10 at Absegami High School in Galloway Township. Belansen won the school’s sixth- through eighth-grade division of the bee. Fifth-grader William Gloede took first place for the school¹s
elementary division, for students in grades three through five. 

Sixth-grader Dennis McAllister won second place in the middle school competition, and seventh-grade student Madison Hunt placed third. The middle school category was dramatic and lasted 30 rounds. Belansen
prevailed after spelling ‘psychiatry’ then ‘itinerant’ to capture the first-place trophy. Gloadi
correctly spelled ‘reversible’ then ‘lawful’ to grab top honors in the contest. Brothers Jaxon and Tyler Tomlin vied for top spots, with second-grader Jaxon taking second place, and third-grader Tyler Tomlin
earning third. The winner of that bee in Galloway Township will continue on to Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., from May 17 to June 1.
