County Scenes: Salem, Hudson Counties Celebrate Students – New Jersey School Boards Association

In Salem County, eighth-graders took center stage for an Eighth-Grade Dialogue program, sponsored by the Salem County School Boards Association. Pictured are 11 students, each representing his or her district. Students responded to questions about community service involvement; suggestions for changing their communities; and more. Flanking the students are Eileen Miller, president of the Salem County School Boards Association, and Dominick Miletta III, vice president of the county association.

The Eighth-Grade Dialogue was held at Arthur P. Schalick High School in Pittsgrove Township. Pictured is Eileen Miller, president of the Salem County School Boards Association, who moderated the program, assisted by Association vice president Dominick Miletta III (not pictured),

The Hudson County School Boards Association honored high school “unsung heroes,” students who have experienced personal accomplishments, overcome difficulties, or inspired others, but who may be overlooked by traditional student awards. Awards were presented to 17 students during the event at Secaucus High School. Pictured are Lorenzo Richardson, of Jersey City, Hudson County School Boards Association president, and Norma Hanley, of Secaucus, Association vice president.
