The board recognized student of the month Ariana and employee of the month Erica Jungels, presented the Middlesex High School baseball team's Group 1 state championship rings, and heard that the district's elementary band has grown to about 124 students.
The Middlesex Borough Board of Education honored student and staff achievements and heard a presentation on rapid growth in the district's music program.
The board recognized Ariana as the district student of the month for "care, focus, and perseverance," and congratulated Mrs. Erica Jungels as the district employee of the month for her role supporting students at Middlesex High School.
The meeting included a recognition of the Middlesex High School baseball team for winning the Group 1 state championship. An unidentified district speaker listed roster members, thanked coaches (the head coach was named in remarks as Blaze INNENE), and presented championship rings to players. The speaker said the team finished the season with a 23-5 record and described several notable wins in the state tournament.
Separately, the district music teacher led a short student performance and described the music program's expansion: elementary band enrollment rose from roughly 30'40 students to 51 in an early year and has since reached 124 students, the teacher said. The teacher credited middle school music teacher Andrew Newcomer with recent middle school concert growth and said plans included adding a jazz band in the near future.
Board members offered congratulations and noted the recognitions were a highlight for families in attendance.
