Veterans Day Contests
Monday, November 11
Van Zant and Jaggard Schools
This November, we again sponsored a fifth grade Veteran’s Day essay contest at Van Zant and Jaggard Schools to celebrate Veterans Day. And again, we were so impressed with the children's submissions.
Fifth grade students from both schools submitted essays for "What does patriotism mean to me?", and a judging committee from the club reviewed each essay carefully. The project is coordinated by the club's Civic Engagement and Outreach Committee, June Adair, chairwoman.
At separate red, white and blue-adorned assemblies at the schools on Veterans Day November 11, the top three winners from each school were announced. Each participating student received a Veterans Day contest certificate.
Congratulations to the Van Zant winners:
- Lyla Holden
- Rushil Gunda
- Nora Kerber
Congratulations to the Jaggard winners:
- Joshua Amidon
- Arnav Mehta
- Anjola Ogunnubi

In Loving Memory of Theresa Zito
Theresa Zito, full of love and kindness, passed away peacefully on November 6, 2024, at the age of 90. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Theresa spent her life nurturing the bonds of family and community with a gentle yet steadfast dedication that touched the hearts of everyone she met. Terry was the beloved wife of the late Edward D. Zito, with whom she shared 48 years of loving marriage. Her legacy of love continues through her devoted children, Edward Zito (Carrie), and Donna Gatti (Leonard). Terry's spirit will forever live on in the joyful lives of her cherished grandchildren, Lauren (Ryan Irwin), and Daniel Gatti, who will miss their grandmother's warm embrace and wise counsel.
A lifelong advocate for education and community engagement, Terry was an active member of her school and local community in Franklin Square, New York. Her passion for service and generosity knew no bounds, following her children to the South Jersey area, where they became well-known for their hard work and community spirit. Theresa's compassionate personality and love of life were evident to all who knew her through her involvement as a past Red Hatter and as a dedicated member of the Marlton Woman's Club.

It’s held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide, and our team was excited to participate this year.

We couldn't be more thrilled to support the Alzheimer's Association in its efforts to help eradicate this disease that affects all of us in one way or another.
