Research has shown that students often slip in reading achievement over the summer months, but continuing to read can reduce those losses, according to Trenton Public Schools.

Hedke Students Participate in World's Largest Exercise Class

Students participated in All Children Exercising Simultaneously Day at Richard C. Hedke Elementary School.

Hundreds of Richard C. Hedke Elementary School students joined millions of children around the world in 15 minutes of exercise Wednesday morning to celebrate All Children Exercising Simultaneously Day (A.C.E.S.). Dressed in t-shirts and sneakers, Hedke students marched out to the school's soccer field and whipped through a previously learned routine of running, clapping and dancing. The smiles could be seen from Marion Street as students showed off their favorite dance moves in an effort to work up a sweat and promote good health. Since 1984, the first Wednesday of May marks the day when children put their pencils down and get outside to exercise simultaneously as part of an effort created by the Youth Fitness Coalition, Inc. This year …

Hedke Earth Day Bags to be Given Away at Trentwood Farms in Trenton

The winners of the Earth Day Bag contest at Hedke Elementary were selected and the bags move on to phase two--reuse.

Now that phase one is complete, Richard C. Hedke Elementary School students are sending decorated paper bags to Trentonwood Farms to initiate phase two--reuse. Students kindergarten to fifth grade participated in a contest in which each student decorated a paper bag donated by Trentonwood Farms. Children drew pictures on the bags in an effort to win the grand prize; a basket filled with candy and two tickets to see The Lorax at Emagine Theaters in Woodhaven. The winners of the contest were selected Thursday afternoon, and the bags are being sent back to Trentonwood Farms to be given out to customers on Earth Day, April 22.

School Lunch Prices Remain the Same

Lunch prices for Trenton Public Schools remain the same as last year.

Lunch prices at Trenton Public School will not change for the 2011-12 school year. Prices will not increase despite a provision of the federal government’s Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, signed by President Barack Obama last year, that requires a rate increase for some schools.  The law mandates that every district adjust its meal prices to ensure the overall rate is comparable with federal reimbursement rates. At TPS elementary schools and the middle school, students will pay $2.75 for lunch and $1.50 for breakfast. Students eligible for reduced lunch will pay $.40 for lunch and $.30 for breakfast. High school students will pay $3.00 for lunch and $1.50 for breakfast. Reduced lunch costs are the same for all schools. Adults who …

Hedke to Receive Playground Equipment from Taylor

Hedke Elementary is gearing up to receive playground equipment from doomed Taylor Elementary.

Richard C. Hedke Elementary is set to receive several pieces of playground equipment from William C. Taylor Elementary before Taylor is demolished. According to Ann Deneroff, curriculum director and acting district superintendent, Hedke has plenty of space for the equipment and its more than 500 students are sure to enjoy it. "We did have a conversation with Mr. (Vince) Porreca and he was very much interested and felt that the students at Hedke would enjoy having more playground equipment to play with," Deneroff said. Vince Porreca is principal at Hedke. Deneroff added that Porreca made a special request for as many swing-sets as possible because the children at Hedke said they love them the most. The idea of moving the euipment was …

So sad. Taylor's playground is the only park for the kids in this neighborhood. Tefend is too far away for most of the kids and it is usually under water anyway. :((( Why can't the equipment be donated to Trenton parks to become part of the park that includes the ball diamond and soccer fields on the site? We could do fundraising to get more equipment at Hedke. Why wasn't the community informed …   more ›
