Hi Everyone! Welcome to Hurffville Elementary School and to 5th grade!   Thank you for sharing your "curious caterpillars" with me!  I truly look forward to a great 2018-2019 school year!

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a week long course in 2016 offered by the NJSTA at Rowan University this summer sponsored by the Maitland P. Simmons Memorial Institute.  Everything I learned helped get us fully compliant with the Next Generation Science Standards which have been officially adopted by New Jersey as the New Jersey Student Learning Standards as of the 2017-2018 school year.
