COP HAPPENINGS
This summer, during our ESY program students in the Career Orientation Program went off campus to work at a number of our usual job placements which included: Edye's, Muddy Paws, Goodwill, Cynthia's, Rancocas Creek, the Burlington Township Firehouse, and McGregor's Farm. Ms. Champagne also kept students busy on campus with making dog treats for the Greyhound Barkery. Other students looking to gain on campus work experience were able to go to the Media Center in the high school where Ms. Humes put them to work!
We had a great summer and are looking forward to a new and busy school year in September.

On Campus Job Placement
During ESY we were lucky enough to have the opportunity to help out Ms. Humes in the Media Center at the high school. Students did various tasks around the media center, some of which included cleaning out and organizing cabinets as well as tidying up the computer area to help Ms. Humes get ready for the upcoming school year.
GREYHOUND BARKERY
The Greyhound Barkery will be on hiatus until September 6th. The order form will reopen the week following the start of school. We are looking forward to another busy year!
