Take a hike
Free fall hike planned
for Sept. 5. PAGE 2
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Hopewell Sun
On Sept. 6, parents all over Hopewell
will either be dropping their children off
at a bus stop or ushering them into a car
to ensure that they are on time for their
first day of school.
But, as students set foot into their des-
ignated schools this year, what new things
should they expect?
To answer some of parents and stu-
dents most asked questions, Superin-
tendent Tom Smith detailed the short list
of this years changes to Hopewell
schools.
The summer months have been busy
in Hopewell Valley with new curricula
being written, teachers and administra-
tors being trained in the latest techniques
and several large-scale construction proj-
ects nearing completion, he said. Many
teachers and administrators are working
tirelessly to ensure that these projects are
effectively implemented. I trust you will
see the benefits of their labor.
Smith explained how there were no
real changes made to the schools in
Hopewell this year, with the exception of
one additional program that is going to be
implemented in the middle and high
school.
The new program, Bring Your Own De-
vice, is Hopewells effort to successfully
incorporate technological devices into
students everyday lives for learning pur-
poses.
The program will only be implemented
in certain classrooms throughout the
middle school and high school. Nine
teachers are participating four at the
middle school and five at the high school
who are all teachers from different de-
partments, including Science, Math, Eng-
lish, Social Studies, and Engineering.
Its just a pilot, and we want to see
where all of the issues may lie, Smith

Foliage time is coming up, and
it's a great time to get away from
your everyday life and experience
the world around you. The
Hopewell Valley is a great place to
do just that, and it's just outside
your door!
Speaker Joe Pylka will focus on
the Hopewell Valley area, but will
also look at other key New Jersey
trails for the hiker or outdoor en-
thusiast, what you should take
along to enjoy it safely, what to see
and most especially what you
can find right here where you
live.
All of this takes place on
Wednesday, Sept. 5, at 7 p.m. at the
Hopewell Train Station, as part of
the Hopewell Borough Library's
Wednesday Night Out talk series.
Pylka, a Hopewell resident, is a
biologist with many years experi-
ence in teaching outdoor courses
in Hiking and Paddling. Besides
teaching such courses, he is a
past chairman of Washington
Crossing Audubon Society.

Hopewell Township residents)

W
ith schools preparing to
open their doors soon, now
is a good time to talk about
the upcoming academic year.
At The Sun, were all about commu-
nity news, which, of course, includes
covering the local school districts.
Well be at as many school board meet-
ings as possible and do our best to stay
on top of the hard news taxes,
budgets, elections and the like.
But we want to be able to bring our
readers so much more. To do that, we
need your help.
When students achieve in the class-
room, in the arts, in sports, etc., we
want to hear about it, so that we can
share that news with the entire com-
munity.
Making the honor roll to winning a
spelling bee, excelling in an extra-cur-
ricular activity, its all news to us.
Problem is, we dont always hear
about these accomplishments. Thats
where you come in.
If youre a parent, and your child
does something special, shoot us an
email. Include a photo, if possible.
If youre a teacher or principal, and
you have a special event coming up or
there is other news that your home-
town should know about, tell us about
it. If possible, well have a reporter
present to cover the event or write a
story and take photos. If not, well fig-
ure out a way to get your news into the
paper, one way or another.
Too often, the news is driven by
events that anger or sadden people.
Too often, the good work of young peo-
ple is ignored or, at the least, certainly
not celebrated the way it should be.
And there are a lot of young people
doing good these days.
We want to change that. We want to
let everyone in town know when
theres something positive going on,
when young people go beyond the ordi-
nary to help someone or have an out-
standing accomplishment.
Call, email or write. Just let us know
whats happening in your school so
that we can share it.
in our opinion
School bells to ring soon
Throughout the year, The Sun wants to be your source for school information
School news
With the start of a new school year
upon us, we want to invite everyone to
share their news with us. From the
classroom to extra-curricular activities,
let us know about what is happening in
your school, and well spread the word.
On Saturday, Sept. 8, at 11 a.m., the
Hopewell Valley September 11th and
Emergency Services Memorial Committee
will be hosting their annual September
11th and Emergency Services Memorial
Ceremony.
This year, we will be remembering all
who were lost on Sept. 11, 2001, as well as
all members of our local Emergency Serv-
ices who have passed away after decades of
service to our community.
The ceremony will be held at the newly
constructed September 11th and Emer-
gency Services Memorial, which is located
in Alliger Park, next to the Hopewell
Township Municipal Complex on CR 546.
Please bring a lawn chair. A light lunch
will be provided.
For more information about this memo-
rial, please check out our web site at
www.911memorial.org.
Special to The Sun
The Sept. 11 memorial in Alliger Park is nearing its end. The ribbon-like brick walkway
will be covered with memorial bricks to honor those who have fallen. In the center is
the 10-ton artifact of steel, recovered from the World Trade Center.

said. For us, we see it as the next
stage of education. Kids are using
technology right now to get infor-
mation so much more readily
than ever before, so for us, it was
the natural progression to try to
incorporate it in our lesson plan-
ning.
Smith further explained his
predictions about how successful
the program will be.
This is step one of a long jour-
ney of bringing more technology,
but I dont see us going back from
this, he said. Were going to
learn from this pilot, but I dont
see us not moving forward and in-
fusing more technology in our
classrooms.
For students who are unable to
bring a device to school, the high
school will provide extra
iTouchs.
Although the program isnt
being implemented in the elemen-
tary schools, Smith detailed
Hopewells whole iPad move-
ment that is occurring on that
level.
We see this as the next step
start off younger so they
progress, he said. Its going to
be as needed, meaning some
teachers are going to use it more
than others. Were really going to
learn from this because the teach-
ers will track usage, effectiveness,
and well make a decision at end
of year whether were going to ex-
pand the program or shift and
move on.
Smith also explained how
Hopewells elementary and high
school schedules were revised
last year, which is the reason why
there are no major changes being
conducted this year other than
Bring Your Own Device.
Last year, we implemented a
rotating drop schedule at the high
school, he said. That was the
first schedule change in 50 years
at the high school.
The schedule can get a bit con-
fusing to explain, but ultimately,
students take eight classes alto-
gether, but not on the same day.
Students rotate their days and
classes, and take a total of six
classes each day.
This creates a unit lunch,
where the whole school eats at the
same time, he said. Hopewell
has space to do that. We did that
because it increases structural
time, and the lunch provided
great time for kids and clubs to
meet and for kids to get extra help
from teachers. Its a very nice
setup, and its working very well
after our first year.
The high school is also improv-
ing its school lunch program this
year to provide more of a variety
of choices, and more locally
grown foods. Smith detailed how
Sodexho, the food provider for
Hopewell, is working with the
school to do this, piloting the pro-
gram.
Before the school year begins,
Smith wanted to inform parents
that Hopewell has improved its
online calendar, which can be
found at www.hvrsd.org, so that it
can be filtered according to school
and event and provide you with
automatic updates and alerts.
