In Miss Welden's ELA classes, students learned S.E. Hinton's purpose for using symbolism in the classic novel, The Outsiders. The students transferred that knowledge to create a "Character Croc" for the favorite Greaser or Soc. Each Croc blueprint included five customized Gibbitz to represent their character, a key to identify and connect the symbols and a character summary.

The Pilla Student Leader Club started the week off with a successful trip to Sabater Elementary school for the second annual Student Leadership Exchange Program. The leadership exchange program is a great program for the Vineland community. It involves the members of the Pilla Student Leaders Club traveling to Sabater to share some of their favorite games and activities. This year they taught 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th graders a Pilla favorite...THUNDERBALL. The Sabater students had a great time and the Student Leaders Club, who often assists with P.E. classes at Pilla did a great job teaching this activity and interacting with the Sabater Phys. Ed. students.
