visor Chuck DiVincenzo, the event drew approximately 2,000 visitors. The Iron Devils will compete with 32 teams from the tri-state area,
including the Cherokee and Lenape blended team, Storm Robotics.
Iron Devils to host First Robotics Competition
By SHANNON CAULFIELD

The Seneca High School Iron
Devils robotics team will be host-
ing the First Robotics Competi-
tion March 21-24.
The team is comprised of
Seneca and Shawnee upperclass-
men.
Seneca hosted the event last
year, drawing approximately 2,000
visitors, according to Robotics
Advisor Chuck DiVincenzo.
It was pretty hard walking
down the hallways at some
points. I was surprised at how
many people were actually
there, DiVincenzo said.
The team has been working on
a better-designed robot for this
years competition since nation-
als ended last April.
The kids learn as much as
they can about engineering and
math. When it comes time to
build the robot they come up with
different designs by making mock
ups, DiVincenzo said. The elec-
tronics kids actually made a test-
ing station this year. When we
started putting the robot together
we were able to test it. It made
things easier for the team.
Competing teams were re-
quired to shoot foam basketballs,
a skill the Iron Devils were never
able to get the hang of, according
to DiVincenzo.

Recently, the Shamong Town-
ship Board of Education was no-
tified that eighth-grade language
arts teacher Cathy Campeau was
selected as the Medford VFW Post
7677s Teacher of the Year.
Additionally, the post nominat-
ed Campeau as its candidate for
the Smart/Maher VFW National
Citizenship Education Teacher
Award Competition.
Campeau was recognized for
more than 11 years of unwaver-
ing support to the VFWs Patriots
Pen Youth Essay Contest.
This is a national-level pro-
gram designed to encourage pa-
triotism and good citizenship.
Through her determined efforts,
the school worked with the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars and Ameri-
can Legion to establish good citi-
zenship graduation awards for de-
serving male and female stu-
dents. Campeau was also ac-
knowledged by the school and dis-
trict administration in letters of
recommendation to solidify her
nomination; attesting to her ex-
ceptional abilities as a teacher
and mentor to her students and
fellow teachers at IMMS.

Teacher of the Year
FAFSA workshop slated
for March 20 at BCC
The second-grade teachers at
Indian Mills School decided to
spice up their Writing Workshop
with a new twist. They thought if
the students really enjoy a partic-
ular book, why not invite the au-
thor in to present the story to the
class and see what happens?
All the second-grade classes
read a book entitled The Final
Swing to highlight the use of
surprise endings. Since Read
Across America was the follow-
ing week, these innovative teach-
ers decided to tie the two together
and offered Laura Wieland, a
Cherry Hill native, an opportuni-
ty to come to their classes.
On Feb. 27, Wieland sat down
with the second graders of IMS,
read her book, and took the time
to answer a multitude of ques-
tions on style and the writing
process.
It was just the response the
teachers were hoping for.
The students were completely
entranced by the story, even more
so coming from the authors own
voice.
Their enthusiasm was infec-
tious as they peppered Wieland
with question after question
about the plot and how she decid-
ed to write the story the way she
did. You couldnt ask for a better
session! The way Ms. Wieland in-
teracted with our students was
tremendous, Kim Fox spokesper-
son for IMS said.
The second-grade teachers at
IMS and Wieland have given
these children a moment to cher-
ish. It is doubtful they will ever
forget the day the author came to
town.
