School lunch periods should be longer

How is lunch supposed to be a meal if it only lasts 20 minutes? In most schools, including Edison Intermediate School (EIS), students have only 20 minutes to find a seat in the lunchroom, wait in line to buy their food, eat, and still find time to talk with friends. Instead of having a relaxing break in the middle of the school day, students have to race against time to survive the rest of the day. In EIS, students have 40 minutes, split into 20 minutes for lunch and 20 minutes for recess outside. Consequently, EIS can enforce a 30-minute eating period and a ten-minute recess period because it helps students perform academically, prevents waste and insect problems, and allows them to eat healthier food options.

South Jersey's first female state champ named RV's girls' head coach

Kaila Mungo set the standard for girls’ wrestling at Rancocas Valley Regional High School. Now, she’s going to lead the Red Devils. The first state champion in South Jersey girls’ wrestling history, Mungo was recently approved as the new girls’ head coach at her alma mater. “Kaila is a true trailblazer who holds a special place in our program’s history,” Rancocas Valley athletic director Mike Lamb said in a press release. “Her wrestling experience, fierce competitive spirt and passion will help our student-athletes grow both on and off the mat.” Mungo’s rise in the wrestling world may have been a surprise to some. She was a standout softball player for the Red Devils and went out for wrestling as a way to stay in shape for her work on the diamond. “When I first started wrestling, I knew absolutely nothing," Mungo said in a press release. "But I quickly developed a passion for it and became determined to learn as much as I could. I started obsessing over learning new positions, mastering different moves and finding ways to improve my skills." Mungo would be a diamond on the mat when she won the heavyweight title in the 2019 NJSIAA state

PILOT Funds and Schools: Just Because You Can Doesn’t Mean You Should

I would like to thank Mr. Sandahl for reminding us of the age old principle that just because one can, doesn’t mean one should. As he correctly points out in his recent Letter to the Editor (Setting the Record Straight on PILOTs), the state law does not require municipalities to allocate a single dime of PILOT funds to schools, thus shifting the burden of the largest component of property taxes to legacy property owners.
