Seeing spots: Students celebrate Dot Day

Springville Elementary School shows creativity and joins world in celebrating International Dot Day
By ZANE CLARK
The Sun
It is Dot Day. We will celebrate
our creativity!
That was the message written
in the room of Springville Elementary Schools first-grade
teacher Jane Kitchen on Sept. 16
as she, her students, the rest of
the school and students all
around the world participated in
activities to celebrate International Dot Day.
International Dot Day is the annual event held in schools
throughout the world around
Sept. 15 during which time students celebrate their creativity
similar to the main character in
author Peter H. Reynolds 2003
picture book The Dot.
In the story, readers are introduced to a young girl named
Vashti who sits over a blank piece
of paper, believing she has no talent for drawing. Vashtis teacher
looks at the blank page, imagining what could be, and instructs
Vashti to make a mark and see
where it takes you.
Vashti hastily draws a single
dot, which her teacher displays
for all to see.
When Vashti sees her work displayed, she believes she can create an even better dot than she
did at first, and so she sets off on
a creative journey drawing all

ZANE CLARK/The Sun

It was a sea of dots at Springville Elementary on Sept. 16 when the school celebrated International Dot
Day. The day stems from author Peter H. Reynolds picture book The Dot and teaches kids to embrace
their creativity. Jane Kitchens first-grade class got in on the fun by painting pictures that included a dot
in unique ways. For more photos, please see page 12.
manner of dots in different colors, shapes and sizes.
Vashti even goes on to inspire
others with her work.
She thinks she has no talent
but she has one talent and its
drawing dots, Springville first
grader Eric LaGrotta said.

Students all over Springville

participated in creative dot activities, including Kitchens students
who did a painting activity.
Each student was handed a
blank piece of paper with a single
dot already marked on it, and
Kitchen then instructed them to

use the dot and their watercolors

to create a new picture with the
dot as part of it.
Everyone can be a good
thinker. Some people dont even
know theyre good thinkers, but
youre going to know that today,
because you are going to make a

picture out of this dot with your

paints, Kitchen told the students.
Kitchen walked around the
room as her students crafted their
pictures. Some students used the
dot as the head of a person, others chose to have their dot become the center of a flower or the
sun, and some even combined colors to mask their dot.
Thats exactly what Peter
Reynolds was talking about
thinking and being creative.
Thats some thinking. Hes creating his own colors, Kitchen said.
Kitchen said school librarian
Kelly Trace had been working
with the story with classes in library all week so the students
could become familiar with it.
Its about creating and celebrating creativity, inspiring and
using talents and gifts, Kitchen
said.
First grader Keira Oliver also
said she understood the theme of
the story.
Its to celebrate your own talents, Keira said.
And Kitchens students certainly did celebrate, as when they
finished their activity, they took
their completed paintings on a
Dot Parade through the halls
and main office of Springville before returning to their room to
hang up their first paintings of
the new school year.

letter to the editor

Construction spurs
prayers for wildlife
!

The trees are being pulled out

today, and land cleared for the
99,000 square foot Walmart project on Route 73 and Fellowship

Road in Mount Laurel.

Im writing a letter to the pope
to pray for the wildlife that will be
displaced with this construction
that started today, and the natural
wildlife that will be killed to make
room for consumers to consume.
It is a sad day for me living
across the street from this land,
and I hope the pope can help in
answering my prayers to look
after the deer, rabbits, birds, bees,
flowers and the trees.
There really should be some
plan in place to assist in the eviction of these animals, and maybe
even a notion to preserving some
of this land for a park, so the silence of nature can be preserved.
It is located at one of the busiest

intersections of New Jersey, but if

you walked on this land you could
not even notice.
It is that peaceful, with only the
sounds of nature singing in your
ear.
I was given the head of a statue
that was on my church, Christ
Our Light, on Kings Highway, and
it sits on a tree stump in front of
my house facing this proposed
Walmart.
It is the head of Saint Peter of
Celestine, and I hope and pray St.
Peter will help this wildlife relocate, and that there might not be
too many casualties.
Saint Peter and Pope Francis
are my only hope.

Local elections dont have to get out of hand

Dan McDonough Jr.

chairman of elauwit media

he topic of campaign funding

rears its ugly head about this
time every year. While its an
issue that is associated with biggerbudget elections such as for Congress,
governor and president, its not something that passes by local elections.
And thats a shame a real shame.
Elections at every level should be
about whos right for the job, not who
can raise, and spend, the most money.
Campaign funding reform has been
discussed, and implemented, time and
again, but its not an easy thing to control. There are plenty of loopholes,
and it can be hard to track.
At the local level, though, it should
be easier and it should be regulated.
A few years ago, one local municipality passed a pay-to-play ordinance
that we believe every town in New Jersey should adopt.
Moorestown originally passed an ordinance to align its campaign contribution limits to that of the state

Your thoughts
Do you think municipalities should have
strict pay-to-play ordinances? Or do you
think local politics can govern itself?

$2,600 for professional business entities and $7,200 for political action committees.
Residents complained, though, and
for good reason. Those numbers were
a substantial increase from the towns
original limits of $300 and $500, respectively.
After signatures were gathered opposing the change, Moorestown reversed the ordinance and returned its
contribution limits to the lower levels.
It was a good move, and one that we
encourage other towns to make, if
they havent already.
Were all for pay-to-play ordinances
that protect local towns from being
run by outside influences such as corporations or other political entities.

Local politics, more so than any other

form of government, should be about
the residents of the town.
Local elections should be about the
candidates involved and what they
will do for the town and its residents.
Period.
It shouldnt be about what businesses want to see or political machines
want to see. Its about the people.
We encourage all local councils,
commissions and committees in New
Jersey to pass regulations on contribution limits, if such regulations arent
already on the books.
Its election season, and as we watch
debates and read about issues from
candidates at the state level and hear
of even more trouble at the federal
level its hard not to lose confidence
in the honesty and integrity of politics
today.
But local elections and local politics
dont have to be that way, as long as we
control it.

Holy Cross parents bring busing concerns to BOE

LRHSD responsible for providing transportation to and from private school
By SEAN LAJOIE
The Sun
At last weeks Lenape Regional High
School District Board of Education meeting, a group of Holy Cross parents who represented towns from all over the district
used the public comment session to voice
their opinions regarding busing of the private school students.
According to the state Department of
Education Office of Student Transportation, all non-public school students who reside in a district that provides transporta-

tion to and from school for remote public

school students are eligible for transportation or aid in lieu of transportation. The
term remote means the student lives beyond 2.5 miles from the high school they attend.
Our goal is to have our students bused
the same way the public students are
bused, Leanne Shine of Medford said.
We would like our students to be picked
up in their neighborhood and dropped off
in their neighborhood, and we would like
our students to be picked up at dismissal
instead of an hour after the final bell

rings.
Many students from the area who attend
Holy Cross do not get home until almost 6
p.m. and are often late to school. According
to Shine, in the six days of school Holy
Cross has had, students from the Lenape
district have been late for three of them
due to the busing situation.
These buses are picking up Shawnee students and dropping them at home before
they go to Holy Cross, and while it is a bit
further away, everyone agreed it is unreaplease see PARENTS, page 14

The Holy Cross parents were

Theyre lucky if theyre

minutes of dismissal, Steve
Gravlin of Marlton said.
Parents were also notified they
will have three group stops at
which the buses will be picking
up and dropping off. These stops
require many students to walk
down busy roads that oftentimes
dont have sidewalks or even
shoulders, so it is a major safety
problem roads such as Taunton
and Tuckerton that Shawnee students do not have to cross to get to
their bus stops.
And while these group stops
were intended for the children to

lot to ask of a parent who also
needs to be somewhere at this
time in the morning.
Obviously, some of these students are lucky enough to have
parents take them, but we cant

charge of this situation, and were

told to deal with it or speak to
Sean Daly, according to Shine.
Daly is the transportation director at the Burlington County Special Services School District Educational Services Unit, which
LRHSD contracted to be in charge
of its bus routes. Neither the parents nor the members of the
board have been able to get in
touch with him in regard to this
problem, they said.
Just like all of the parents of
public school students, parents of
Holy Cross students pay the same
taxes in which $884 per student
goes toward busing. There are 96
students who are being bused to
Holy Cross who reside in the
towns covered by the LRHSD.
So thats $84,000 that the district is getting, yet our students
are on the bus until six oclock,
and our students are late for
school, Shine said.
Parents advised the board to
have the BCSSSD reevaluate its
bus routes to accommodate the
private school students and be
more reasonable.
You have delegated the negotiating rights to BCSSST and they
do not cover your responsibility
of providing safe and efficient
transportation, Gravlin said.
Colleen Zanger of Mount Laurel lives six miles from Holy
Cross, and she had her son track
his bus ride using an app on his
phone. He was on the bus for two
hours and five minutes, she said,

traveling a total of 42 miles after

being picked up at 5:50 a.m.
Unfortunately, according to the
board, there is not enough money
for another bus because of the
mandatory cap that is provided
by state law.
The district receives about
$80,000 from the 96 students for
busing, which creates more than
what it needs for the current bus
routes but not enough for another
bus.
While there is a little bit of
room there, there is not room for
the next bus, LRHSD Business
Administrator and Board Secretary James Hager said.
The board said it seems like the
only way to fix this would be to
add a third bus, and while that
would alleviate most of these issues, the taxes from the 96 students in the district who attend
Holy Cross only account for about
$4,000 to $6,000 above what the
contracted cost is for those two
routes.
A third would cost roughly
$35,000 to $40,000 more for the
year, so while the district is receiving more than it needs for two
routes, it is not enough for a
third.
Non-public transportation is a
problem simply because the state
has placed an arbitrary limit at
$884, Hager said.
Last year, there were three
buses, but due to a decline in enrolment for Holy Cross students
in the area, the district is only allowed to spend for two this year.
This is not uncommon territory
for the board, as bus routes are a
problem that many times do not
please everyone involved.
The most scrutinized contracts by the DOE are always
transportation contracts, Taylor
Ruilova of Comegno Law Group
said.
While the parents were not
looking for everything to be settled at the meeting, they stood by
their points and will be hoping
for a resolution in the near future.
Really, all were asking for is
for our students to be considered
in the same way that other students have been considered,
Shine said.
