Highlights since our last board meeting:

·      Congressman Rush Holt spent the morning yesterday at Village School to pick up letters that the Village students wrote to President Obama. They will be hand delivered!

·      Jacqueline Peters, French/Spanish Teacher, reports that 15 Satz and High School students were ranked in the top 20 places on the National French Exam in New Jersey. Also, two students have been invited to the Prize Ceremony, “La Remise des prix,” to be held at Rutgers University next month. Our HHS student earned 3^rd place, and our Satz student earned 4^th place in their levels, respectively.
 

·      A Satz student has been selected as a winner in the Monmouth Judiciary’s Law Day 2009 Essay Contest.
 

·      The fourth and final meet of the New Jersey Science League was held recently at Freehold Township High School.  In true Holmdel style, our students swept all six categories, taking first place in Bio I, Bio II, Chem I, Chem II, Phys I and Phys II. Congratulations to all our students and their teachers and also to our student who earned a perfect score in Physics II.
 

·      On April 24, the Holmdel Figure Skating Club competed in their final competition of the year at the New Jersey High School Open at Princeton Day School. Our skaters did an awesome job. Each member came home with at least one first place win. Holmdel placed first in Monmouth County and third in the state!
