YAM! SHAZAM! March is “Youth Art Month” and Shore Regional High School Art Department will be hosting a Teacher’s Discovery Traveling Exhibit featuring the fascinating paintings of Salvador Dalí, “the father of Surrealism.” The students and staff will enjoy the giant reproductions during the week of March 4-8. The exhibit, featuring Galatea of the Spheres, will celebrate Art, the Spanish language, culture and history. Enjoy art around the school that week and pick up your student made art in the form of buttons as a special treat honoring youth art.

SHORE’S RED CROSS CLUB The Shore Regional Red Cross Club supports several different organizations that are relevant in today’s society. In October we support Antiviolence Week. This is done by creating posters pertinent to the theme & hand out red beads & stickers during lunches. Also in October, we support Breast Cancer Awareness Day. Students & faculty are encouraged to wear pink on the selected day, pins are sold, and stickers are distributed during lunches. Money raised is sent to the local American Cancer Society re: Breast Cancer. In November we have collected supplies for care packages for troops overseas. The supplies are given to the Shore-based nonprofit ARMS (American Recreational Military Services). In February, the Red Cross Club supports the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women Day. Students and staff are encouraged to wear red on the selected day, “red dress pins” are sold, and stickers are given out during lunches. Money raised is sent to the American Heart Association. The Red Cross Club organizes the annual blood drive in the spring. Also during the Spring, money raised from several bake sales is sent to the “Pennies for Patients” fundraiser for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Participation in Shore Regional High School’s Red Cross club raises the students’ awareness to the needs of others in our community and increases their body of knowledge regarding wellness & social concerns in our world.
