West Park Place Elementary School
Have you noticed that many West Park
teachers wear jeans on Fridays? It's more
than just a "casual day" at work. Teachers
pay a dollar each week to wear jeans. Then
the money is sent to Emmaus House, a local
homeless shelter.
Bayard Middle School
Kudos to the AVID Students
and staff for coordinating and supporting
the Heavenly Hats Annual Drive!
Bayard received a Community Service Award and
trophy for being the State Winner in this
initiative. Anyone wishing to wear their
favorite hat to school paid $1.00. The
homeroom with the most student participation
received a free ice cream social in November.
The school collectively raised $185 toward this
worthy cause. The
Heavenly
Hats Foundation collects and distributes
brand new hats of all kinds to those heroes of
all ages who lose their hair due to the
treatment of cancer or the many other medical
conditions which may cause hair loss.
Since the beginning of 2001, Heavenly Hats has
distributed more than 450,000 brand new hats to
hundreds of hospitals and clinics across the
United States.
Bayard Middle School was awarded a $1,000
scholarship by the Frederick and Marlene Malek
Foundation. This fund will give 53
Bayard students the opportunity to visit
the National Constitution Center on May 7th.

January 30. The Unarmed Regulation Drill
Team commanded by Senior Eric Bozarth
placed third in competition. Senior Rudolfo
Rivera commanded the Armed Inspection team
which placed third and the Armed Regulation
Drill Team which took a second place among the
10 teams participating. The color guard
teams, under the command of Senior Dylan

The Unarmed team took a third and the Armed Team
did a fantastic job and won first place.
Dylan McCaughan, Eric Bozarth, Henry
Hamilton, and Marcos Rivera worked very hard
to win those two color guard trophies on
Saturday. Although Christiana’s teams did not
compete in two of the events that make up the
overall score, the Viking NJROTC Drill Team
still came in 5th Overall. Drill team coach
Sergeant Major Gary Arnold lauded the team’s
efforts. Assisting, senior instructor CDR
Bruce Shumway noted “To have this team place
in five different events in competition against
school from three different states is quite an
accomplishment.”
