Junior & Senior Guidance Meeting | NJ Goal Sunday

FBLA with the help of No. 13th St. celebrated its tenth year of giving Christmas Gifts to children in DYFS care. These children are not in foster homes, they are in shelters. This year we had a total of 39 children and all were provided gifts for the holiday.

Thanks to all of the faculty and staff and FBLA members that stepped up to make this a joyous holiday for these children.

Teamwork

Jaleel Ritchwood is a senior who is a very active and contributing member of the ECVTS N.13th Street Center. He is president of our FBLA club organizing many events and fund raising causes. This senior's passion is in the performing arts field. Jaleel successfully worked hard to start a choir at ECVTS which he directs. This talented young man starred in the leading role of the school's production of a Raison in the Sun in the Spring of 2009 playing the leading role of Walter Lee. His performance was outstanding.

In his community of Newark, Jaleel is a member of the Smith Memorial Church of God. This senior is a member of his church's choir as well as participating in an organization called Operation Lockout which mentors adolescents and children with tutorial instruction, discussions concerning such issues as gang violence, peer pressure and self-esteem.

Jaleel received the Teamwork Award presented by Joseph Divencenzo our Essex County Executor. After sharing all of this senior's accomplishments with the audience, Jaleel received a standing ovation. Jaleel Ritchwood's future is very promising because of all the efforts he has made at such a young age.

Web Design

Web Design isn't just HTML coding! Students that are enrolled in the Web Design course here at North 13th Street definitely learn their way around designing and creating web pages; but they tackle other projects as well. The students welcome the opportunity to help other subject areas and clubs with flyers and banners. Need a logo or flyer — the Web Design students definitely know their way around a graphic arts project.

Some of the projects that were undertaken over the course of the year so far include: creating holiday ornaments to help support the Sophomore Class, designing flyers for other subject areas and Back to School Night activities, finalizing a school logo, and of course, creating an eye-appealing and informative newsletter. Stay tuned for more demonstrations of what our Web Design students are capable of!
