The Bellmawr Parade has been postponed until Sunday, December 10, 2023. We hope to see you there.
Please join me as we celebrate and recognize the Governor Teacher of the Year Award recipients. This honor acknowledges educators' outstanding classroom performance, collaborative initiatives, educational outreach, leadership, and significant impact on the school and community. As a Superintendent, it is with great pride and honor that I recognize these compassionate, accomplished, and devoted teachers who represent the Bellmawr School District. These teachers reflect the exemplary quality of educational leadership and support every student's social/emotional needs.
A formal recognition ceremony will be held at our Board of Education meeting in the spring. Congratulations again!
Jan Dagenais – Bell Oaks School
Marianne Fulleman – Bellmawr Park School
Heather Mitchell – Annette Castiglione Early Childhood Center
Monica Moore – Ethel M Burke School

THANK YOU to our small group of parents, teachers, and administrators that participated in last week’s DEI (diversity, equity & inclusion) Committee Meeting! Although this work can be challenging since we all bring different perspectives to the table, I can’t think of anything more important to support our diverse community. The goal for our meeting was to engage in book talks surrounding our Elementary Inclusive Lending Library, specifically focusing on the state standards for reading and to evaluate text complexity (or simply put, the narrative’s ability to foster deep learning at a particular grade band). I can’t begin to say how WONDERFUL it was to see everyone unpack these texts together and to engage in meaningful conversation about the illustrations & vocabulary, and about text features such as genre or author’s purpose.
Congratulations to all the Students of the Month and their families who were honored at this week's Board of Education meeting. We are proud of you all. Please click to view the album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/GEQMYW8k4UDDXiSk6
