Several members of school board absent from Mar. 14 meeting Wednesday, March 20, 2019 • The Hammonton Gazette • Page 3 SCHOOL, from Page 1 Hammonton High School (HHS) and resurfacing of the Hammonton Middle School (HMS) track. the meeting was called to order by John Lyons, as board president Sam Mento iii and vice president thomas attanasi were absent. also absent from the meeting were members al Pangia and John thomas. the meeting started with a pres- entation on the latest happenings at the early Childhood education Center (eCeC) given by eCeC principal Dr. Darla Salay. to begin her presentation, Salay introduced a group of students in- volved in the eCeC violin pro- gram along with their teacher, Paul enuco. the students, equipped with child-sized violins, which were funded by the Hammonton Home and School association, performed a variety of musical ex- ercises they’d been practicing. “it is all research-based. the vi- olin is a really good instrument for young children because they’re sized. these violins are one-eighth- size of a full-size violin … So, playing an instrument in early childhood is extremely effective, not only the fact that there’s pos- ture and balance, but to have that sound on your shoulder right next to your ear is profoundly effec- tive… this is the perfect instru- ment for our children in early childhood,” enuco said. He went on to thank Salay for al- lowing the program to take place and the Home and School associ- ation for financially supporting the program by purchasing the violins. enuco said he hopes the program will continue and grow. among other things, Salay dis- cussed a new counselor at the eCeC, Katelyn D’errico. “i’d like to thank [Hammonton Superintendent of Schools robin] Chieco and the board of education this evening for approving a new counselor for grades preschool through second grade.
