Student panel discussion for staff today. Powerful words from the powerful young people of WWP. 🤩

🎨 In honor of #SchoolBoardRecognitionMonth, Dutch Neck Elementary students turned their appreciation into art with handmade thank-you notes for our #WWPRSD School Board of Education members. We proudly echo their heartfelt gratitude for your leadership and dedication to #WWP 💙

“If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” Today we honor the life and legacy of a pioneer for progress. May we remain committed to the path of justice, equality, and service 🤝 #WWP

FLUENCY FRIDAY! Here’s one of my favorite poems for the New Year. I hope you and your students like it too! Rehearsing and performing poetry and song is an excellent (and artful) way to build reading fluency (SOR) – automatic word recognition and prosody (expressiveness).

Holiday fun at Dutch Neck! 🥰 Happy holidays everyone!!

Happy birthday @JLockettTeach I hope you have a wonderful day and a wonderful year ahead! xo

Celebrating our amazing Educational Support Professionals throughout #WWPRSD! Thank you for teaching our children, preparing nutritious meals, ensuring safe transportation, and supporting every corner of our schools. Our students thrive because of you! 💛👏 #WWP #ESPDay

It’s an honor to celebrate Veterans in the @CopperHillES community. As a Veteran, I believe in the power of service, in any form. It strengthens communities, lifts others, & reminds us of our shared purpose. Grateful for all who serve, served, & continue to lead. @FlemRarSchools

Today we celebrate the power of kindness — the small acts that spark smiles, build connection, and make the world brighter. Let’s keep spreading compassion, one good deed at a time. Every act matters. #WorldKindnessDay #WWP #WWPRSD 🌎✨💛

Happy Veterans Day @JLockettTeach Love you and so proud!

Dutch Neck Office Team! 🐝🍯

If #LauraOverdeck wants to help NJ kids & families, she should spend her $ on continuation of #SNAPbenefits during #govtshutdown instead of attacking public schools! #overdeckfoundation #wwp #stayoffschoolgrounds #wakeupcallnj #njea #njdoe #usdeptofagriculture #publicedmatters

🎉 Congratulations to Dr. David Aderhold, #WWP Superintendent of Schools, who was awarded the 2025 Dr. Ernest L. Boyer Outstanding Educator Award by the New Jersey ASCD. #njascd #WWPRSD

Mr. Lockett and family representing Philly at Heritage Night! 🥨 @JLockettTeach

One word can say so much! ❤️ Our #WWP staff and students each chose one word to describe what #WWPRSD means to them—and the results were inspiring! From “community” to “innovative,” see how our district is defined by the people who make it great. 💫 #ProudToBeWWP

Celebrating and conversing with DLI families tonight. 🎉
