– Congratulations went out from family members, teachers, school staff and public officials to the 2023 graduates of Manchester’s Regional Day School while district elementary schools held some special celebrations of their own. There wasn’t a dry eye to be found as guests of the annual commencement came together to congratulate and celebrate the Regional Day School students as they entered the event. The attendees were then welcomed to the celebration by a Presentation of Colors and Flag Salute courtesy of the Manchester Township High School New Jersey ROTC Cadets and Regional Day School’s Student Council President Cody K. Six graduates walked into their graduation to cheers and “Pomp & Circumstance” played by members of the Manchester

Township High School band. They were presented with awards and gifts from the school, M.T.A.U. and M.T.E.A. They were graced with well wishes and words of wisdom by Superintendent John Berenato, Principal Lisa Michallis and Director of Special Services Bridget Antonucci.

The graduates and fellow Regional Day School Students entertained the audience with a performance of “This is Me” from “The Greatest Showman.”

This year’s graduates of Manchester’s Regional Day School include: Autumn Daniels - Central Regional High School; Nicole Gleeson- Toms River High School North; Travis Jack - Toms River High School South; Taylor Lopez - Jackson Memorial High School; Christian Milius - Manchester Township High School; and Ta’Quana Reed - Manchester Township High School.
