For our K-8 families, we have an exciting opportunity to share one way you can incorporate literacy into your homes. Learning Ally is partnering with us to provide a one hour session on how you can use their program to support your child. Many of the texts in your child’s ELA curriculum are available on this platform. More importantly, we are looking forward to the chance to discuss the importance of literacy.
All students have Learning Ally accounts through the school. The company will provide demo accounts for you to view the program during the session. We will work on a way to make this program available to you at home so you can access these resources. If you are interested, please read the information below.

She doesn’t even need to be there for the students to follow the procedures. Students feel safe and comfortable in her beautifully decorated classroom. This allows for students to be able to communicate with her during class and outside of the classroom as well. As a class advisor, she has created so many small events to commemorate the Class of 2026’s Senior Year. It started before the school year began, by helping students with painting their parking spots. She even found ways to help those students that couldn’t afford to buy the materials and ensured they had those supplies to participate. Even now, she is still thinking about ways to make the year unforgettable. She pours ever y ounce of her heart into any event or work she is doing and always puts the students first.

Nominations for Sawyer Humphreys included the following kind words: Sawyer is currently 6th in his class and was also recognized by Mr. Williams for his talents in the GMT program; being recognized at the Salem County Breakfast. Sawyer took rigorous AP classes throughout his high school career and is spoken highly of by these teachers. He is also a member of the National Honor Society. Sawyer always has a smile on his face, kind words for teachers and students, and overall a great personality. Sawyer is also a great role model for our school, be it academically, social, activities, the band or sports. As a teacher, I have seen first hand how he influences the Freshmen members of the band. Multiple 8th grade students were convinced to continue with music in HS just from Sawyer's influence over the past year. They respect him greatly and can turn to him for anything they need. He is truly a Renaissance Man for the many different activities that he does. From his coaches' perspectives, the younger tennis players also look up to him and respect his playing ability and overall sportsmanship on the court. Sawyer is involved in our school in many ways. Sawyer was the Drum Major of the marching band and is a member of the Jazz Band (playing trombone.) Sawyer was part of the school play by heading the stage crew.....General Stage Manager. He has done this for the past two years. Sawyer is also a member of the National Honor Society, Tri M Honor Society, Book Club and Drama Club. Sawyer was also a 4 year member of the tennis team, a 3 year starter and this year played 1st singles, being the best tennis player on the team. On weekends, once a month, he is completing his Delaware National Guard basic training program. He plans to attend the University of Delaware. He was also picked as the Senior Homecoming King, as voted on by the school. He is a young man that is self driven, intelligent, and knows where he is going in his life. Sawyer is a once in a lifetime student and deserves to be recognized as Pennsville's Student of the Year. He makes the school a better place in many areas, not just music. He's an excellent athlete, artist, and musician. At the same time, he is starting his military career in the air force reserves. He juggles all of this with professionalism and responsibility.
