Merriam Avenue School was one of 34 schools in the nation that participated in the event on Friday, September 17.  The goal was to show the most school spirit, by either wearing a favorite football jersey, or the school colors of maroon, white and grey.  
At the end of the day students in the second through fifth grade classes poured into the gym for a boisterous pep rally led by Ray Stocker, the school's band teacher.  Stocker led the crowd of students in various cheers and events.  He was joined by Newton Braves Cheerleaders from the Merriam Avenue School and special guests from Newton High School.  
Part of the programs purpose is to focus on fitness, healthy eating, discipline in school and sports, and teamwork.
"You are doing an excellent job at being healthy and respectful," said Karen Perez, principal.
Kayla Sumski, a junior at the High School and member of the Varsity Cheering Squad told the students, "One of the most important things with being on a team is getting along with people."
Amy Mistry, also a junior and member of the Cheerleading Team offered, "Join clubs, don't be bored, and hang out with good people who do fun things."
Ben Cramer, a freshman football player who started playing in the third grade said, "Exercise, eat healthy and keep your grades up."
Casey Thomas, the starting quarterback for Newton's freshman football team said, "Listen to your teachers, start now so you can be good in high school."
The Merriam Avenue School PTO sponsored the event, and will submit photos to the NFL Play 60 Super Schools Program to show their team spirit.  The winning school is awarded a $10,000 health and wellness grant from the organization, and a visit from an NFL Player.<br />14 photo(s)<br />9/20/2010<br />Album ID: 1079823]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://strausnews.mycapture.com/mycapture/folder.asp?event=1026458&CategoryID=47377"><img src="http://photos.mycapture.com/STRA/1026458/30152800T.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Chosing an outfit for school or work is one of the hardest decisions some people have to make in the morning, but figuring out what to wear for gym class is easy, shorts or sweatpants, a t-shirt and sneakers! 

"I did have to change for gym class" both Jen Simonsen and Al Holtzer admitted, "really, it's just for hygenic purposes." 

Jen, who has been working for the Delaware Valley School District for 9 years in the physical education department says "both genders are equally competative when it comes to sports but I would have to say that women are more agressive when it comes to certain sports, such as women's soccer."  Delaware Valley has had its share of female driven sports such as LaCrosse and girls basketball and the style of uniforms have changed over the years. 

"I have been teaching for 30 years" stated Al Holtzer, "The trends are more fitness based as opposed to when I first came here, trying to get the kids involved in a more wide variety of life long activities."  

There's no question it has been harder to stimuate the kids with the influence of video games, it's been much more difficult to get students to participate, "Thankfully there hasn't been a decline in the after school sports activities, in my opinion males are more competative but not by a lot and both males and females are equally agressive."

So there's a difference of opinion when it comes to who plays the game with more ferocity, but one thing that is not disputed is that the uniforms change as the seasons do.  This is true for cheerleading, basketball and most sports played at DV.  In fact, in 1978 soccer was called European Football. 

"There's been a consistency in the passing numbers of the Presiden't Fitness challenge and we've been testing the students at least three times per year.   I have seen a change in the popularity of some sports over the years, such as raquetball and table tennis, now weight training and Wii Fit is more popular and I recommend that game for students to utilize over the summer."<br />23 photo(s)<br />6/17/2010<br />Album ID: 1026458]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://strausnews.mycapture.com/mycapture/folder.asp?event=933222&CategoryID=47377"><img src="http://photos.mycapture.com/STRA/933222/27721393T.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />These are photographer Ed Bailey's photos from Woodbury Pack 148's annual Pinewood Derby. More than 40 scouts from Woodbury Pack 148 participated in their annual Pinewood Derby, held Jan. 23 at Monroe-Woodbury High School cafeteria. The five-ounce pinewood cars race at speeds of up to 250 mph along a 40-foot long computer controlled ramp.Cub Scouts, with the help of parents, build their own cars from wood, usually from kits containing a block of pine, plastic wheels and metal axles. The pinewood derby was selected as part of “America’s 100 Best” in 2006 as “a celebrated rite of spring” by Reader’s Digest. The first pinewood derby was held on May 15, 1953, in Manhattan Beach, California by Pack 280. The cubmaster’s son was too young to participate in the popular Soap Box Derby races, so he came up with the idea of racing miniature wood cars. The cars had the same gravity-powered concept as the full-size Soap Box Derby cars, but were much smaller and easier to build. <br />6 photo(s)<br />1/23/2010<br />Album ID: 933222]]></description>
