As an ongoing focus on Cinnaminson High School’s culture, each month we will decide upon one attribute that will be our focus. We will promote this in different ways by giving the students AND staff specific, yet simple, ways to model this behavior.
In the month of February, the focus was PERSEVERANCE.
We will be combining the months of March and April and the focus is COOPERATION.
Cooperation means working together, getting along, and functioning as a team. Cooperating means listening, share, take turns, and compromise. It is important to show appreciation to others, and include everyone.
Here are ways to demonstrate cooperation:
- LISTEN carefully to others and be sure you understand what they are saying.
- SHARE when you have something that others would like to have.
- COMPROMISE when you have a serious conflict.
- SHOW APPRECIATION to people for what they contribute.
- ENCOURAGE PEOPLE to do their best.
Please help us by encouraging your child(ren) to demonstrate these simple acts each month. We look forward to fostering a culture of Commitment, Honor, and Spirit at CHS!

March has arrived! The 2026 Women's History Month theme is “Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future,” selected by the National Women's History Alliance. This theme highlights women driving sustainability across environmental, economic, and social sectors, fostering long-term equity and resilience. No doubt we have young women in our building who will lead the way for others as they continue their learning and living journeys. In celebration of Women’s History Month, our school is proud to honor the incredible contributions and legacies of women throughout history with a series of student-led initiatives. Throughout March, you will see our campus come alive with vibrant door decorations and educational hallway displays curated by students, with the welcome support of staff, to highlight female trailblazers. We will also feature daily announcements to share inspiring stories of courage and innovation. We encourage everyone to engage with these tributes and join us in recognizing the vital role women play in shaping our past, present, and future.
While we spend the month celebrating women across the globe, March holds many important days of celebration. March 4th, Hindu people around the world celebrate Holi Hai! Holi is a Hindu festival celebrating the start of spring, which is the season of hope and new beginnings. Often referred to as the “Festival of Colors,” Holi is celebrated around the world and is recognized as a national holiday in some countries with significant Hindu populations. March 8th is International Women's Day. March 17, St. Patrick's Day, commemorates the death of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. The holiday has evolved into a celebration of Irish culture with parades, special foods, music, dancing, and a whole lot of green. Whether March goes in like a lion or out like a lamb is yet to be seen. Either way, we can guarantee our student leadership team, alongside the staff support, will continue to lift the stories of us all in order to continue to grow a Beloved Community at CHS, the district, and the Cinnaminson community. One last March reminder, daylight saving time in the United States is March 8th. As always, if you have any questions for the CHS equity committee chairs, please do not hesitate to ask.
With Peace and Pirate Pride

March
Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month
M
March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the inclusion of people with developmental disabilities in all areas of community life, as well as about the barriers they sometimes still face in connecting with the communities in which they live. With a greater number of students with disabilities spending a greater part of their day in the regular classroom, strategies and activities that help students better understand the needs and differences of their peers and disabilities, foster peer relationships, and help students develop empathy can have positive outcomes for all students.
Definition
Developmental disabilities are defined as impairments in physical, learning, language, or behavior areas, and include:
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Autism spectrum disorders
- Cerebral palsy
- Hearing loss
- Learning or intellectual disabilities
- Vision impairment
- Other developmental delays
Facts
- It is estimated that more than 5 million Americans have developmental disabilities.
- Approximately 1 in 6 (16%) of children in the United States between the ages of 3 and 17 have developmental disabilities.
- Developmental disabilities are lifelong conditions, but treatments can help manage the symptoms.
- Developmental disabilities occur in people of all racial, ethnic, educational, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Helpful Suggestions:
- When talking about people with disabilities, always put the person first. For example, say “a child with autism” rather than “an autistic child”.
- Interact with a child with Developmental Disabilities the same way as you would any child, in the way you speak with them and make eye contact.
Recommended Literature
Click on the link to find a suggested list of books to use with your students this month.
Also, here is a list of criteria to use when choosing a book that might already be in your classroom or library:
- Promotes empathy, not pity.
- Depicts acceptance, not ridicule.
- Emphasizes success rather than, or in addition to, failure.
- Promotes positive images of persons with disabilities or illness.
- Assists children in gaining an accurate understanding of the disability or illness.
- Demonstrates respect for persons with disabilities or illness.
- Promotes the attitude of “one of us,” not “one of them”.
- Uses language that stresses a person first, disability second philosophy.
- Describes the disability or person with disabilities or illness as realistic (not subhuman or superhuman).
- Illustrates characters in a realistic manner.

The boys bowling team finished the season with a record of 17-4. That secured 2nd place in the BCSL Patriot Division. They had a strong showing this postseason with a 5th-place finish at the BCSL Tournament, along with a trip to the SJ Group 2 sectional semi-finals. This group of seniors, Logan Wickizer, Chase Gallant, Mathias Corona, Jon DePhilippo, and Ian Jungblut, left it all on the lanes and had their best day as a group in that semi-final playoff match-up. Despite getting eliminated, the boys posted a season-best match score of 2850 and placed themselves in 3rd place on the CHS record board with a single-game score of 1040. Ian Jugblu also landed on the record board, taking over 3rd place for boys season average with a 198. This group of seniors was wildly successful and will be greatly missed.

They also advanced to the quarter finals of the SJ Group 2 sectional playoffs before being eliminated.

This year’s varsity team captured 2 spots on the team record board, while junior Alianna Miller captured 5 individual records this season. While seniors Elliana Malave and Makaila Zammett will be missed next year, the team returns a lot of underclassman talent ready to step up and keep this team rolling. |

Individually, senior Dominic Marino currently has a 34-1 record and broke the Cinnaminson Wrestling All-Time Wins record, passing 2017 graduate Keith Swartley with 131 career wins. Davi Guimaraes (29-3), Jake Barbich (23-9), and Levi Jander (23-7) each had strong seasons and are hoping for a postseason run. The program hosted the District 27 Tournament again, which was met with positive feedback from all involved. Dominic Marino and Davi Guimaraes placed 1st, Max Frey and Jake Barbich 2nd, and Levi Jander and Aaron Jones took 3rd.

Highlighting the event, Rylee Evans became the first District Champion in program history with a first-place finish. She is joined by District Finalist Emilly DaSilva (2nd Place), Emersyn Mathews (3rd Place), and Emanuelly Souza (4th Place).

The Play Unified Basketball team completed another successful season, and what a season it has been. With five wins, tied for the most in program history, this group has demonstrated tremendous growth, resilience, and heart from start to finish. Their commitment to one another and to the spirit of Unified athletics has been evident in every practice and every game. Last week, seniors Gabe, Gabby, Charlie, Beyza, and Jhefferson were honored at halftime of the Ewing game, a well-deserved recognition of their leadership and dedication. This senior class has helped set a powerful example and leave behind a legacy of positivity, teamwork, and pride.

If your child is absent or late to school, written verification to satisfy the requirements of the attendance policy must be submitted to the Attendance Office within two school days, by 8:00 AM on the third day, if the request of the absence is to be considered excused. This is a particular concern when calculating Winner’s Circle. |
|
For those driving children to and from school each morning, please ensure that you follow all posted speed limits and drive safely through the surrounding neighborhoods when driving to and from school each day. We all are responsible for ensuring all children arrive at their respective schools safely each morning. |
Please remember that students are to be dropped off in the lane in front of the school only. Students are not to be dropped off in the parking lot. We want to make sure that students arrive at school as safely and efficiently as possible. Dropping off students in the parking lot increases the interactions between cars and students and delays the main drop-off line as more students need to cross the drop-off lane in the crosswalk. |

ESEA Section 8528 outlines provisions that give military recruiters the same access to secondary school students as recruiters from postsecondary institutions or prospective employers (e.g., college fairs, job fairs) and, when requested, requires LEAs to provide students’ names, addresses, electronic mail addresses, and telephone numbers to military recruiters. Parents who do not wish the district to provide name, address, and email information with military recruiters must notify the school in writing. A sample opt-out letter is available at the following link:
|
For the safety of your children, we will be requiring that when a student is released from school on an Early Dismissal for any reason, any person (including the parent) picking up your child must present photo identification. As a reminder, we will only release your child to a parent/guardian or emergency contact. Again, this is for the safety of your children. |
|
Parents who are picking up your child/children after practice/games, please do not park and wait in the lane of traffic in front of the gymnasium. Please park in the parking lot and wait for your child. Parking in the lane of traffic causes safety issues on many levels. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. |

All Young Men Who Are 18 Years Old, Or About To Turn 18: You are legally obligated to register with Selective Service. By registering you add your name to a list of all men in the nation 18-25. The list would be used to identify men for possible military service in case of a national emergency. You must also register with Selective Service to receive Federal Student Aid for college. The law says that all 18-year-old men must register within 30 days of their 18th birthday. You can register with Selective Service in less than 2 minutes via the internet at: www.sss.gov, or you can go to the Post Office and complete a registration form. You can also register online when filling out your FASFA. It’s quick, easy and the law. |

If you have not already done so, please consider joining the Cinnaminson Alumni Network. Instructions for registering for the CAN are available here: Cinnaminson Alumni Network.
