Some of the school district's most talented students showed off their talents May 4.
They sang, they danced, they played instruments and they acted out stories. And they were "All In This Together." An Evening of Shining Stars — a talent show featuring special needs students from third through 12th grades — demonstrated the extraordinary talent and dedication of children with various disabilities. For weeks, the students rehearsed their acts in the auditorium of Hillside Avenue School in preparation for the May 4 performance. Sitting among their peers, the students laughed, joked with each other, and talked about classes and social engagements, much like any other group of elementary, middle or high school students. What normally sets them apart from other "mainstream" students is exactly what made them shine brighter when…

Students get homework that can teach them how to save a life.
Most people know the basics of fire safety; stop, drop and roll and install fire alarms in their homes. In November, Cranford middle school students and their parents started to learn that there is much more they can do, when they began the fire prevention and safety program, “Fire is.” The New Jersey State Firefighter’s Mutual Benevolent Association started the program a year and a half ago in middle schools across New Jersey thanks to a grant from the NJ Department of Homeland Security. New Jersey is now the first state to have a fire prevention program in its educational system. “We’re trying to put New Jersey on the forefront," Lt. Andy Stratton of the Cranford Fire Department said. The program was developed by retired NY meteorologist…
