    Community Center to HartfordSchool to make it easier to funnelresidents in and out of the venueduring the two-hour event. Thisyear, the township decided tomove from Hartford to Harring-ton for the same reason.

    “The venue I know is better forresidents to come in and out, andthere’s more parking,” saidMeghan Shaddow, recreation di-

    rector for Mt. Laurel Township.The move to Harrington School

    hasn’t impacted restaurants’ in-terest in attending the event. At

    press time, the township alreadyhad 22 restaurants scheduled toparticipate, more than the 15restaurants the township had reg-istered two weeks prior to lastyear’s event.

    The township accepts partici-pating restaurants on a first-come, first-served basis until allof the spots are full. Typically, 20to 25 restaurants are featured.This is also the first time Taste of Mt. Laurel is being held inMarch. The last five years, theevent was held in January. Town-ship manager Maureen Mitchellsaid the township made the move

    in hopes the better weather wouldattract more residents.

    Shaddow said the recreationdepartment has received numer-

    ous calls about the new date fromresidents since the beginning of the year. She said many peoplewere satisfied with the move toMarch.

    “They are very happy to behaving this event again this year,”Shaddow said.

    So far, about 100 residents havepre-registered. The township typ-ically gets a large influx of regis-trations in the days leading up tothe event. While Taste of Mt. Lau-rel is free and open to all town-ship residents, township officialsare asking attendees to pre-regis-ter so the restaurants know how

    much food to make. To register orfor more information, call Shad-dow at (856) 234-0001 ext. 1220 [email protected].

    Maybe he popped the question on a pic-turesque summer day at the beach, a ban-ner plane proclaiming his love flying over-

    head. Perhaps she organized your familyand friends into a flash mob, asking foryour hand in marriage at the end of anelaborate song and dance. Or maybe it wassimple, both curled up on the couch athome, sharing a pizza and laughing over

    the latest episode of a favorite sitcom.March 20 is National Proposal Day, and

    no matter how you went from single to be-

    trothed, The Sun wants to celebrate withyour stories.Was it the most romantic proposal in

    history? A proposal that went hystericallywrong, but still with an enthusiastic “yes”at the end? Maybe the third time was the

    charm? Whatever your story, we’re callingon you to send it in so we can share it witheveryone.

    Send in your perfect (or not-so-perfect)proposal story, and a photo of you and yourspecial someone, to our news email, whichis listed to the right.

    Watch for your stories in an upcomingissue of The Sun.

    The Sun wants to know: How did you get engaged?Share your stories with our readers for National Proposal Day on March 20

    March 20. Nine more days. It

    can’t come soon enough. Of-

    ficially, that’s the start of 

    spring. Whether Mother Nature

    agrees, though, is anyone’s guess at

    this point. Early forecasts show she

    will be good to us, but how much can

    we actually rely on forecasts?Spring is what we all need. We need

    a nice stroll downtown, in the park or

    on the boardwalk to reinvigorate us, to

    get us out of the doldrum into which

    winter plunged us. Winter started off 

     just fine, but it put a damper on every-

    thing, and everyone, in February and

    so far this month. Just last week, snow

    was dumped across the state.

    Winter has not just affected all of 

    our moods, it has affected our bottom

    lines, too.

    We’ll most likely be paying more in

    taxes, in some way, at some level, for

    pothole repairs and salt purchases.

    Snow has affected local businesses

    as well, especially retail shops. Bad

    weather kept patrons inside for the

    last few months. The arrival of spring

    will hopefully turn that around, and

    quickly.

    Snow and biting cold have kept peo-

    ple in the mindset of “no end in sight,”

    and have prevented many from taking

    day trips to our state’s wonderful good-

    weather spots, or from planning future

    trips, as well.In a little more than 60 days, the offi-

    cial start of the summer beach season

    will be here. Does that even sound

    right?

    The good news is that it started to

    warm up this week. Spring really does

    look like it’s right around the corner.

    Let’s hope Mother Nature cooperates

    and doesn’t reverse the tide back to

    winter. Please spare us!

    Hello, spring, are you here yet?Our moods, our businesses, our livelihoods depend on your arrival

    Your thoughts

    What are you most looking forward to thisspring? While you are out and aboutenjoying what hopefully will be beautifulweather, send us the photos you takealong the way, and we’ll be happy to sharethem with the rest of the town.

    Extended kindergarten a big hit,so the program will continueBy MIKE MONOSTRA

    The Sun

    Last March, the Mt. LaurelBoard of Education approved anextended kindergarten optionafter receiving a sizable amountof interest from parents.

    About six months into the pro-gram’s inaugural year, positivefeedback and a steadily increas-ing enrollment have parents in-

    terested in enrolling their child inthe program for next year.With kindergarten registration

    well underway, district director of communications Marie Reynoldssaid many parents have ex-pressed interest in the programfor next year. Parents can enrolltheir child in EKO when they reg-ister for regular kindergartenclasses. The district plans to haveone room in each school for theprogram again in 2015-16.

    “Many people have called here

    and asked how to get the EKOform for the program,” Reynoldssaid. “They’re coming in at a pret-ty good rate.”

    Extended kindergarten is acenter-based learning systemwhere students reinforce skillstaught in regular kindergartenclass, engage in fun and interac-tivity activities and have time formore social-emotional develop-ment.

    Students enrolled in half-daykindergarten have the option of attending extended kindergarten.Students in morning kinder-garten attend EKO in the after-noon and students in afternoonkindergarten attend EKO in themorning.

    The program is tuition basedwith the tuition fee $400 permonth.

    Interest in extended kinder-garten has increased as theschool year has progressed.Reynolds said enrollment num-

    bers in EKO have continued togrow since September.

    “It started off slowly, but weleft enrollment open throughoutthe year and we continued havingpeople coming in throughout the

    year,” she said.Suzanne Haftman, supervisor

    for community education and ex-tended day care, and DianeWillard, director of child studyteam services, updated the Mt.Laurel Board of Education on theprogram’s progress at its Feb. 24meeting.

    They said the success of theprogram this year will allow it tocontinue through next year and

    likely beyond.Each of Mt. Laurel’s six ele-mentary schools has one roomdedicated to extended kinder-garten. Right now, the district has132 students enrolled in the pro-gram.

    The district has rolling admis-sion throughout the year as spaceallows.

    Springville and FleetwoodSchools have both filled all of their EKO spots this year. Thelarge amount of interest in the

    program stems from positive re-action from parents, staff and dis-trict officials in the program’s in-augural year.

    Reynolds believes the programhas exceeded many people’s ex-pectations.

    “In the EKO program, they aredoing things that are so produc-tive,” Reynolds said. “The chil-dren are very happy. The staff isvery warm.”

    Haftman said the program hasexceeded parents’ expectations,with many parents being excitedwith the amount of individual at-tention their children are getting,the interactive aspects of the pro-gram and how their children arebuilding upon what they learnduring their regular kinder-garten class.

    Reynolds credits much of theprogram’s success to the EKOteachers and staff.

    She said the staff did a great job with coming up with interac-

    tive activities and new ways to en-gage the students.

    “We’re very pleased with theoutcome,” Reynolds said. “Theywere so excited and enthusiasticand had great ideas.”

    MARCH 11–17, 2015 –THE MT. LAUREL SUN 15

    The Lenape Regional HighSchool District’s fourth AnnualGive to Goodwill Clothing DriveCompetition is taking place nowthrough Friday, April 17. Duringthis eight-week drive, students,faculty, family and friends at allfour district high schools will beon a quest to see which school cancollect the most pounds of dona-tions per student. Cherokee is thereigning champ, having capturedfirst place in the last three years.

    This Give to Goodwill commu-nity service project was organ-ized by students and faculty advi-sors from each high school inpartnership with Goodwill Indus-tries of Southern New Jersey andPhiladelphia. Proceeds from thesale of all donations collectedfund Goodwill’s job training pro-grams and career services that

    help local residents with disabili-ties and disadvantages get towork. Since its inception in 2012,Lenape Regional High School Dis-trict students have collected109,387 pounds of donations forGoodwill.

    “It is exciting to witness thefriendly competition between thestudents and faculty fromLenape, Shawnee, Cherokee andSeneca, but enriching to knowour local community membersare the real winners in our part-nership with Goodwill,” Superin-tendent Carol Birnbohm said.

    The clothing drive competitioncoincides with the spring clean-ing season. Goodwill donationcontainers will be convenientlylocated in each school’s parkinglot making for easy access for stu-dents, staff and families to donate

    gently-used clothing, accessories,toys, books and other smallhousehold items. Once a contain-er is full, a Goodwill truck willempty it, count the number of bags in it, and then compute thenumber of pounds of donationscollected. Donation results foreach school will be periodicallyposted on the district’s websiteand on Goodwill’s Facebook page.The school that collects the mostdonations (based on pounds perstudent) will be crowned the 2015champion and receive a plaquethat can proudly be displayed atthe school until the 2016 competi-tion begins. In addition, the Vol-unteer Service Award recipientfrom the champion school will re-ceive the Outstanding VolunteerAward and a $500 scholarship fortheir charitable works.
