Southwest Council Educates Caroline L. Reutter School Students on Vaping Dangers
Recently, the Southwest Council, a community organization dedicated to promoting health and wellness, conducted informative presentations for students at the Caroline L. Reutter School. These sessions focused on the alarming dangers associated with vaping and nicotine use, particularly among young people.
During their series of classroom-based presentations, representatives from the Southwest Council engaged students in discussions about the health risks linked to vaping, which has become increasingly prevalent among adolescents in recent years. The presentations highlighted the harmful effects of nicotine on developing brains, including addiction and potential long-term cognitive impairment. They also addressed misconceptions surrounding vaping, dispelling the notion that it is a safer alternative to traditional smoking.
By fostering open dialogue about such critical issues, the Southwest Council aims to cultivate a generation of informed individuals equipped to resist the pressures of nicotine use and prioritize their health and well-being
Congratulations to our February 2025 RAM STRONG Students of the Month! Students selected received a nomination from a CLR faculty or staff member for demonstrating excellence with our school's character traits.

In Mrs. Young's Fifth Grade Social Studies classes, students took a step back in time to experience what life was like for children in Colonial America. They learned about the daily chores that kids were responsible for, such as fetching water, weaving, and tending to animals. One of the highlights of the experience was making butter, just as children in the 1700s would have done! Students worked hard shaking cream into butter and enjoyed tasting the results on bread. This hands-on learning opportunity helped the students gain a deeper appreciation for history and the hard work of colonial families.

Township of Franklin Public Schools and Franklin Township Police Department Conduct School Security Tabletop Drill
On February 19, the Township of Franklin Public Schools collaborated with the Township of Franklin Police Department to conduct a school security tabletop drill at Caroline L. Reutter School. This important exercise provided an opportunity for law enforcement and school officials to work together in evaluating and strengthening emergency response protocols.
The purpose of the drill was to enhance preparedness, improve communication, and clarify the roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders during an emergency. By bringing together key representatives from law enforcement and education, the drill allowed for meaningful discussions on how best to respond to various security scenarios, ensuring a coordinated and effective approach to student and staff safety.
Participants in the exercise included members of the Franklin Township Police Department, Franklin Township Public Schools, and Gloucester County Office of Emergency Management (OEM). Each group played a vital role in analyzing current safety procedures, identifying areas for improvement, and reinforcing best practices for school security.
The Township of Franklin Public Schools remains committed to prioritizing the safety and well-being of students and staff. Collaborative efforts like this tabletop drill ensure that schools and first responders are well-prepared to handle any potential emergencies efficiently and effectively.
We extend our gratitude to the Franklin Township Police Department and Gloucester County OEM for their partnership and dedication to maintaining a safe learning environment for our students and staff.

Message from the Interim Superintendent of the Township of Franklin Public Schools
To all staff and members of the Franklin Township Public Schools community,
Due to the unpredictable nature of the approaching storm, the district will operate on a two-hour delayed opening tomorrow, Wednesday, February 12, 2025.
We will continue to monitor the weather conditions overnight. If the storm intensifies and we receive more snow than expected, there is a possibility that schools may be closed. Should that decision be necessary, a follow-up message will be sent tomorrow morning.
As of now, please plan for a two-hour delay on Wednesday, February 12. Stay safe, and we appreciate your cooperation.
Due to the approaching winter storm, we are preparing for a POSSIBLE altered schedule (closure of delayed opening) tomorrow, Wednesday, February 12, 2025. Snow is expected to arrive this afternoon and evening, clearing out by early tomorrow morning. Interior South Jersey may see slightly higher totals, with a projected 4–6” zone covering parts of eastern Atlantic, Cumberland, and most of Cape May counties.
A final decision will be made early this evening. Night events in our schools have been cancelled. Please stay tuned for further updates, and as always, safety remains my top priority.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Congratulations to Mary F. Janvier's Students of the Month for January! Our character trait is Service.
Recently in Mrs. Rambone’s 5th-grade math class, we had a fun event known as the “Decimal Diner”. The classroom was decorated as a beautiful diner, set up with pretty candle-lit tables. To show our math skills, each group of three students ordered food, added the totals of their meals, including the tax and tip, and then divided the total, sharing the cost of the bill. We all had fun eating snacks and talking in the classroom “diner” while dressed in fancy business attire!
