Parents Join Students For An Excellent Playdate

This event invites parents to engage in play with their kids in their preschool classroom, to engage with the school staff, and to meet other classroom parents.

MANCHESTER – Manchester Township School District’s Universal Preschool parents visited Ridgeway Elementary School for an Excellent Playdate!

“Play dates are so important because children learn best when they are given a hands-on, exclusive experience. They learn well through play early on. It helps with language development, fi ne motor skills, letters, numbers, colors, shapes and so much more” says Lori Burns, Director of Early Childhood Education for the Manchester Township School District. The day started off with the students’ typical Morning Meeting and showcased components of the school day as well as interest areas. The visit helped parents to experience their child’s school day hands-on with them. It was a great time had by all.

High Training Noise At Joint Base For March

By Alyssa Riccardi

LAKEHURST – Expect to hear moderate to high noise from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JBMDL) throughout the month of March.

Every month, JBMDL releases their “Noise Level Calendar” so residents know when to expect mild or severe noise. This is to deter calls to local 911 dispatchers. The calendar is labeled with three different levels of noise: slight noise, moderate noise and abundant noise.

Most days in March are scheduled for “moderate noise.” However, there are several days scheduled for “high noise” which includes March 4, 8, 9, 10, 23, 24, 25, and 26.

Additionally, March 12 and 13 are scheduled for “low noise.”

Noise levels are subject to change without notice due to training requirements and weather, JBMDL said.
