Stafford Township students honored for math, music and esports achievements
Summary
At a Stafford Township School District awards segment, students and teams were recognized for Ocean County Math League placings, selection to a South Jersey honors strings ensemble, esports quarterfinal appearances, and a classroom fundraiser that raised more than $1,000 for water.org.
Hundreds of students, families and staff gathered as the Stafford Township School District recognized student achievements in academics, music and esports.
Presenter (Speaker 2) opened the program by thanking staff and families and inviting students to the stage for photos. The New Jersey School Bus Safety Poster contest award was presented to Nicole Resaca, who placed third. The district also highlighted Ocean County Math League results: the 4th-grade team finished fourth overall; the 5th-grade team won first place with individual placings that included Kendall Toole (individual fourth), Dylan Sherwood (individual third) and Raven Bex (individual first); and the 6th-grade team placed third with individual mentions including Patrick Robillard, Jacqueline View, Patrick Shapiro, Jameson Zodkin and Melty Cooney.
Music students were recognized for nomination to the 2026 South Jersey Band and Orchestra Directors Honors Strings Ensemble; Presenter credited Miss Myers with nominations and named participating students from grades 4'6. The district also applauded Stockard Intermediate School's esports teams: the Mario Kart and Rocket League teams advanced to the middle school quarterfinals and competed at Georgia Memorial University on May 16.
Presenter described a 6th-grade —Wealth to Wellness— fundraiser inspired by the book A Long Walk to Water, with a goal of roughly $25 per classroom. Students organized collection drives, drafted communications and raised over $1,000, which Presenter said was donated to water.org.
The program concluded with thanks to teachers, advisors and families for supporting the extracurricular and academic programs that produced the recognitions.
No formal board action was taken during the recognition portion; the session moved to routine business and the superintendent's report after a short break.
