Amidst the ongoing recovery from this past Octoberʼs devastating storm, I wish to continue to express profound condolence to all those affected. As so many ofour stakeholders can attest, words will never fully allay the pangs of sadness and hardship

endured in our community. It is with that in mind that I,and all of those representing the Shore Regional HighSchool District, continue to exert effort towards reliefand recovery. Although they themselves have been af-fected, students, faculty and staff have nobly extendedhelping hands to assist in a return to our areaʼs “newnormal.” I have never felt prouder to be part of the“Shore Regional family” than when recently beholdingall of these heartfelt endeavors.

Although much of our stakeholdersʼ attention hasbeen drawn to the storm, there have been several excit-ing educational initiatives unfolding at Shore Regionalduring the current school year. As this edition of TheShoreline attests, the district continues to evolvethrough shared service agreements, upgraded technol-ogy programs and the ever-present influence of ourmany, dynamic student leaders.

In the midst of this holiday season, it is myearnest wish that all those within the Shore Regionalfamily find peace and happiness. May this season ofcelebration be one not of sorrow, but rather full of re-silient hope for a better tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Shore Pride and Resil ience Overcome Adversity TheS horeline

A “state of the building” report from Business Administrator Dennis Kotch.

Due to the significant damage the Monmouth Beach building sustained, inter-district adminis-trators acted swiftly to accommodate Monmouth Beach students in grades PreK-8. Upon the reopen-ing of regional schools, Monmouth Beachʼs Pre-K and Kindergarten students were welcomed at theWolfe Hill School (Oceanport), Grades 1-3 at the Betty McElmon School and Grade 4 at Frank An-tonides School (West Long Branch) and Grades 5-8 at Shore Regional High School.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the faculty, staff and students involved in mak-ing this transition fluidly and efficiently. Although the situation presented some inconveniences, it has been truly encouraging to see so many dedicated, caring people make this work. The outpouring ofsupport for one another has been decidedly reassuring as teachers have banded together to shareclassrooms, enjoy special “thank you” bagel breakfasts and provide listening ears for those who arestill coming to terms with the devastation Superstorm Sandy wrought. As it stands, I am certain wewill pull through this situation and be stronger as a result. Should any stakeholder be in need of fur-ther information, the Office of Business Administration welcomes inquiries.

An Educational Mission of Sharing and Caring

First and foremost, our thoughts and prayers are with all those familiesthat have been affected by the storm. With the resuming of “regular” schoolhours on Monday, November 12th, the Shore Regional High School, Ocean-port and West Long Branch school districts sought to provide a safe environ-ment for their students and staff as well as those displaced from theMonmouth Beach Elementary School.

Sincerely,

Dennis W. KotchBusiness Administrator

Since the summer of 2012, the district's vision toward increasing regional shared services havebeen further crystalized in the form of administrative personnel offices. In late August, the West LongBranch Schools Board of Education voted in favor of sharing a superintendent and business administra-tor with Shore Regional High School District. Spurred on by the positive endorsement provided by a re-cent feasibility study encouraging sharing the positions, the two districts are in prime position to haveshared administrators. According to the study, the projected combined savings for both districts for ashared superintendent is between $142,000 and $152,500 annually. Shore Regional High School Dis-trict Board of Education President Ron O'Neill commented, “Following the results of the feasibility study,we know we are ready to share a business administrator and superintendent between districts."

Shore Regional Interim Superintendent Renae LaPrete would serve as the full-time, interim headof both districts while applications are reviewed and a permanent administrator is named. In addition tothe superintendent position, Shore Regional district Business Administrator Dennis Kotch may prospec-tively become the full-time shared business administrator. Ultimately, Kotch could stand to serve as aregional business administrator to Monmouth Beach, West Long Branch and Shore Regional.

Despite devastating losses and per-sonal setbacks incurred from HurricaneSandy, Shore Regionalʼs faculty, staff andadministration engaged in relief effortswithin days of the “superstorm” ravaging thesending districts. Early efforts included theformation of the Shore Regional HighSchool Disaster Relief Fund. Under the di-rection of Mrs. Susan DePinho-Tranchinaand Mrs. Victoria Koontz (Interact ServiceClub Advisory), the quickly-formed volunteergroup organized monetary donation oppor-tunities so that funds might be distributed di-rectly to those affected by the storm. Bysetting up at sporting events during theweek the school was closed due to poweroutages and other storm-related issues, theorganization was able to hand out ribbonsand collect donations.

Having nearly lost everything in theLong Branch fire of winter 2012, DePinho-Tranchina sought to “pay forward” thetremendous outpouring of support she andothers affected by the fire had received.She and several other faculty and staffmembers busily shuttled to and from shel-ters bringing supplies, serving meals and of-fering support for those affected. The MaplePlace shelter was in particular need of nu-merous items and the Shore Regional vol-unteers saw to it that collections were takenup for items that ranged from toothbrushesto diapers.

Assisting throughout the long daysfollowing the storm, the volunteers of theDisaster Fund served meals, made “foodruns” and solicited local businesses for anywares they might be able to donate. Amongstellar efforts, Mrs. Chris Colaguori, Shore

Community Dinner Among Many Notable Efforts

Regional High Schoolʼs food services Gen-eral Manager, spent countless hours cook-ing and counseling numerous members ofthe community who resided at the MaplePlace shelter. Hers and the efforts of manyothers did not go unnoticed as thankful em-braces were daily shared between care-re-cipients and volunteers.

Among myriad challenges facing thedistrictʼs administration due to Sandyʼs de-struction, collaboratively devising a solutionto host displaced students from the Mon-mouth Beach School District stood as a par-ticularly daunting task. Working together,district administrators were able to employan effective and manageable plan that pro-vided for a relatively fluid resumption of edu-cational activities. Teachers throughout thesending districts worked together to free upspace and make their incoming neighborsʼnew school environs “home.” Just twoweeks into the arrangement, MonmouthBeach teachers thanked their Shore Re-gional hosts by providing a Bagel Breakfast(donated by Bagel Masters) the day beforeThanksgiving. In an email to the Shore Re-gional staff, Monmouth Beach teachersnoted, “one thing we are truly thankful forthis year is your hospitality to our displacedstaff. We greatly appreciate your welcominggestures and the sacrifices you have madeto make us feel "at home."

One of the greatest successes ofShoreʼs relief efforts got into motion immedi-ately upon returning to the school after a tenday closure. On November 12, an emotional“first day back” for many, Student Counciladvisor Allison Cronk got the ball rolling for acommunity-wide relief dinner. Along with

numerous faculty members, staff and ad-ministrators, Cronk helped orchestrate atruly “feel-good” community event. Staffmembers cooked, baked, cleaned, solicitedclothing donations and provided entertain-ment for nearly 250 guests. Within a scanteight days of the initial planning meeting, theevent successfully raised over $6,000 in amere three hours. “The Sandy Relief Dinnerwas such a rewarding experience; it wasgreat to see everyone working together for agreat cause,” reflected interim-principal Vin-cent DalliCardillo.

Among the month of Novemberʼs ef-forts aimed at Sandy relief, admission to thestate playoff game against Keansburg waswaived in favor of accepting donations. Theproceeds from donors that attended thegame were split between Keansburg andShoreʼs Disaster Relief Funds. Shore Re-gional volunteers were also able to motivatebusinesses to “chip in.” The Long BranchWindmill restaurant donated over a hun-dred-sandwiches to hungry Maple-Placeshelter residents while Solmate Socks ofVermont donated hundreds of fun-coloredscarves and pairs of socks to the families inthe community affected by Sandy. The dis-trictʼs website was also updated with a newsection focused on providing any student(and/or their family) with assistance in meet-ing their educational obligations.

For many of those within the ShoreRegional family, efforts to relieve the send-ing districts provided a welcome diversionfrom their own hardship. Faculty memberswhose homes and possessions had beendamaged nonetheless felt compelled to as-sist those in need from their employing dis-trictʼs communities.

Although full recovery from Sandyʼswrath may remain far off in the future, allthose involved in Shore Regional HighSchoolʼs Disaster Relief Fund remain happyto serve their neighbors during this ongoingtime of great need.

Guided by advisor Victoria Koontz, the Interact Service Organization continues to philanthropicallysupport the community. Proceeds from this yearʼs organizational T-Shirt, designed by Shore student Jes-sica Kwok, will be allocated to two noble causes: “Kick Cancer Overboard” and the “Shore Regional Dis-aster Relief Fund.” “Kick Cancer Overboard” (www.kickcanceroverboard.com) is a non-profit organizationthat sends those suffering from cancer and their families on educational and therapeutic tropical cruises.Funds raised from T-Shirt sales will also be donated to the “Disaster Relief Fund” to help those strugglingwithin the sending districts as a result of Superstorm Sandy.

This past fall, the sophomore class's clothing drive collected 3,675 pounds of clothing, all of whichwas picked up by B&B Managementʼs Bob Blassi. Upon pickup, the sophomore class received a checkfor $391.58. Rather than put the money toward the classʼs treasury, the funds raised were donated toShore Regionalʼs Disaster Relief Fund. The driveʼs success came as a result of outstanding efforts fromthe sophomore classʼs advisor Victoria Cavet, students, faculty and community members. RemarkedCavet, “The clothing drive exceeded my expectations. I was overwhelmed with the positive response andgenerosity from not just the students and faculty, but the community as well. I particularly appreciated theefforts of maintenance staff member Justin Orinzo who went above and beyond the past few months car-rying clothes all over the building. The whole class is proud to donate the funds to support students andcommunity members impacted by Superstorm Sandy.”

On the heels of 2011-2012's successful launch ofChromebook classrooms at Shore Regional, the district ad-ministration and Technology Coordinator Michael Vaccarinohave undertaken an even bolder initiative to further heightenthe presence of cutting edge technology at the high school.Noting the overwhelming efficacy of the school's integrationof Google Apps and Samsung Chromebooks, Vaccarinosuccessfully petitioned the Samsung corporation to allowShore Regional High School to pilot the company's dynamic"Smart School" program.

Samsung Smart School is a mobile educational plat-form that enables students and teachers to benefit from abroad range of education-related information on new wire-less devices. When launched at Shore in the fall of 2013,the Samsung Smart School "solution" will enable the instantsharing of screen content from a teachersʼ tablet or PCscreen to an E-board and their studentsʼ personal devices.The “solution” will provide a staff member with greater con-trol over their classroom while simultaneously increasingstudent engagement and ensuring a more efficient transferof materials to students.

The development of this new, interactive learning en-vironment came about when Vaccarino visited Samsung'sUS headquarters in the Summer of 2012 and lobbied forShore Regional to receive the pilot program. Shore Regionalwill be the first high school in the United States to use Sam-

AHEAD of thShore Regional High School District to Become

he TECH CURVEsung's new educational package. Shore will begin implementing the solution in a newly redesigned “SmartSchool” lab (formerly room A-5). Within the refitted confines, Shore faculty and students will be uniquelyequipped with Samsung's Galaxy Note tablets, new generation Chromebooks, “Smart School” software,and wireless printers all of which can be monitored and collaboratively viewed on a 65" "Slate E-Board"monitor. Students will work together with ease, rolling around the newly outfitted room in Steelcase nodechairs specifically designed for student productivity and comfort.

Over the course of the next several months, Vaccarino will be overseeing not only the “SmartSchool” lab's development but providing extensive staff training as well. Professional development willcenter around the multi-faceted “solution” software that can run on multiple platforms including PCs,tablets, laptops and mobile devices. Reflects Vaccarino, "What really makes this incredibly exciting for ourfaculty and students is that Smart School further allows a teacher to use technology effectively and en-courage students to participate in lessons. The program provides a more efficient and flexible learning en-vironment, and if properly deployed, teachers can make lessons more dynamic and entertaining by usingmultimedia content along with integrating the various connectivity functions that allow teachers and stu-dents to meaningfully communicate and interact."

the New Jersey Association of Student Councilʼs Student Execu-tive Board in January 2012, senior Teresa Campbell recently re-flected on her successful term. Over the past twelve months,Campbell spearheaded numerous efforts to implement studentleader programs and help bring the concerns of New Jersey'syouth to the state board of education. Throughout her advocacyof student issues, Campbell fostered unity amongst the studentboard by establishing a cohesion within the executive committeethat proved vital to accomplishing its many goals.

An active member of student council since the third grade,Campbellʼs participation in myriad extracurricular clubs (e.g., Na-tional Honor Society, Math League, Book Club, Interact ServiceOrganization) has furthered her ability to work in a team setting toachieve results. Asked what the secret to forming a strong executive board is, Campbell remarked,“I love meeting new people and being able to share ideas with everyone! You have to remain opti-mistic that you can compromise and work through any differences that might exist.” When thinkingback upon her successful year as NJASC Vice-President, Campbell offers thanks to her friends,family, and student council advisor (Ms. Allison Cronk), for encouraging her and infusing a sense ofShore pride in all of her NJASC endeavors.
