Nearly $17 million in federal funds will be allocated by the Army Corps of Engineers to continue deepening of the Delaware River shipping channel by five feet. U.S. Rep. Rob Andrews said Tuesday he has been advised by the Army Corps the money will be released as part of this year’s allocation to the agency. While the funds are not designated for any specific purpose, Andrews, D-Haddon Heights, said the “Army Corps’ plan is to spend it on the Delaware.” The money, if allocated, would go toward deepening the river channel from 40 to 45 feet in an area between Penns Grove and the Beckett Street Marine Terminal in Camden, said Ed Voight, chief of public and legislative affairs for the Corps’ Philadelphia regional office. http://bit.ly/x0Qggd

April 23rd was Shadow Day for our fantastic 8th graders from Merchantville School. They had an amazing opportunity to step into the shoes of Haddon Heights High School students for a day and explore Garnet Country. From checking out classrooms to getting a feel for campus life, our future freshmen got a sneak peek into their exciting high school journey ahead. It was all about making connections, asking questions, and feeling the Garnet spirit. Big thanks to Haddon Heights High School for hosting and giving our students such a warm welcome.
